Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tanka is a two year old purebred English Pointer male. He is a very outgoing, friendly dog that would fit well into a home that enjoys being active outdoors. He would be a great hiking or trail running companion.
We acquired Tanka as young pup with hopes of him becoming a serious quail hunting dog. Unfortunately, his feet cannot handle extended hunting time in the harsh desert terrain that we hunt. Sadly, we need a dog with more hunting-related durability, and are therefore trying to re-home Tanka before finding a replacement hunting dog. Nevertheless, Tanka is a very sweet boy who absolutely deserves a loving, safe home in which he receives appropriate levels of exercise and stimulation. He will make a great companion dog capable of going on lots of family/fun adventures.
Tanka is comfortable in an outdoor kennel run during the day, but gets cold at night and needs to be kept indoors at nighttime. His crate, heeling collar and chew toy will be included.
