Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We think it would be in Jules' best interest to find a new foster home. The ideal candidate would be a single woman that is VERY outgoing! Jules needs her dog park romps and is genius on a hike. After her botched adoption--she is afraid of men and would need time to adjust to a new home. If you are looking for a dog that will get you out and about, please call Lisa at 630-694-1359 to interview for Jules' new best friend.
9-30-10 Some Pointers out of Miller's lines are quite the swimmers--Jules is no exception!! She is an amazing swimmer :O).
Check her out on YouTube!
7-19-10 Chicagoland is VERY dog friendly. About 15 minutes from IBR HQ is one of the greatest dog parks--East Branch Dog training. This is BIRDDOG HEAVEN. Dantes, Rosa, Rory, Lani and Jules made their debuts there recently and enjoyed every minute of it. Take a look at their album on Facebook .
Here is a very fun romping, splashing Youtube video of Dantes, Rosa and Jules.
I need active outgoing adopters for these amazing dogs. Pointer and Setter= FUN! I am addicted to their joyfulness and enthusiasm.
5-24-10 Miss Jules is doing GREAT in her new foster home. Her best friend and bo hunk is Eddie- a Setter mix that was adopted last fall. Latest blood work shows Jules has recovered from her Rocky Mountain spotted fever--but the damage is done. While her confidence is getting better--she is not the same bold hunting machine I ran in horse back field trials a year ago. She is still cuddly and affectionate--but she is guarded and a bit fearful of new people. She is at her happiest at the dog park in Wauconda, IL. My wish for her would to be adopted by someone in the area that could take her for weekly runs at that park as she feels quite safe there. She is an amazing athelete and still enjoys running and sight pointing birds. She also needs to be able to cuddle on the couch and sleep in bed!

02-14-2010: Jules is a beautiful Lemon and White American Field bred English Pointer estimated to be about 2 years old. Jules is petite, wiggly and very very cute and full of personality when she feels safe. We do feel that she suffered extreme abuse by whoever owned her in Kentucky-- but overcoming her Lyme disease really helped her come along last Spring.
Sadly her first adoption did not work out and she came back to us with Rocky Mountain spotted fever--not good. She had shut down for her male adopter and was afraid to run off leash too. She does need a femine touch as she seems to respond more to women and we will be looking for a female patient adopter next time around.
As a BIG FAT FYI--Jules has been bred to run HUGE off leash--up to several hundred yards or more. She is most likely out of Ferrel Miller's assembly line of White Pointers bred at his kennel in Paducah, KY. The 17 tatooed in her ear was probably to help identify one pup from another. GOOGLE Miller's On Line, Miller's White Powder or Miller's Silver Bullet.
These American Field bred Pointers have been bred to run very independant of their handlers and most are run in field trials off of a horse. Last year when I ran Jules in her first field trial--she was quite comfortable working for me from horseback. She is not going to be a close working hunting dog--ever. She is a free spirit and whoever is lucky enough to adopt her--will need to know that her comfort zone is WAY OUT YONDER!!!
With that in mind--as big as she can cast out--she always watches for me. She is also perfect at the dog park. She is special little dog and a little princess deserving of a wondeful home.
We are in no rush to adopt her out :O).
This dog will need a safe fenced in yard and a non-smoking home.
Due to the fact that many of our dogs have come from shelters or abuse or neglect situations, and unless we have tested these dogs on upland birds and feel they are confident and ready to work as a hunter with families where they will be trained with kindness and patience, we will only adopt to pet homes.
All adoptions include vaccinations, deworming, microchips, spaying or neutering, collar, leash and an information adoption packet. All IBR dogs are crate trained, housebroken, socialized with other dogs and loved on by their human foster parents. Adoption fees are used to cover vetting expenses and special need dogs' vetting care.
If you are interested in adopting this pet through our rescue organization, please go to the Adopting A Friend section to read about our pre-adoption policies and vetting protocols.
Some Ways You Can Save A Life
Become an IBR foster home and help give a rescued dog or puppy a second chance at a new happy life. The work and dedication of the current IBR foster families can be seen by clicking HERE! You are not just adopting a dog--you are adopting a birddog family!
Make a donation or sponsor a homeless dog. Illinois Birddog Rescue has always prided itself in not turning away any sick and injured dogs; animals that most shelters would have euthanized. We have saved many dogs with heartworm, tick borne illnesses, broken legs, missing legs, blind dogs, a new deaf puppy, dogs suffering from Parvo and especially senior dogs that may need expensive health care to help them get ready for adoption. In February of 2006, in one weekend, we brought in 20+ dogs from the Boat Mountain Tragedy, and that depleted our emergency funds. Visit the IBR Home Page and browse our new online store to find out the many ways you can shop for the dog lovers in your life while helping homeless birddogs. We also have a dedicated volunteer busy creating calendars, mugs and T-shirts at our Café Press fundraising web site.
