2009 Dog of the Year

Every year, the GSPC of Idaho awards one German Shorthaired Pointer the dog of the year.  This is a very prestigious award to our club and has been awarded to some incredible dogs over the past 50 years. 

NGSPA NC/NAC COUNCIL  MOUNTAIN  BUZZ  SAW

Buzz is owned and handled by George and Joan Wilson, of Council, Idaho.  This repeat performance as Dog of the Year is well-deserved, as Buzz went to the 2009 NGSPA National Championships, in Booneville, Arkansas, and took runner-up champion in the Amateur Championship and then won the National Shooting  Dog Championship. 

Six -year-old  Buzz won the 2005 National Futurity runner-up Championship, in Booneville.  In 2007, Buzz won the NGSPA National Amateur runner-up Championship, and he returned in 2008 to win the Amateur Championship and a beautiful hand-tooled saddle. 

George “retired” at the award ceremony last March, to a loud ovation from friends and fellow amateur and professional  dog trainers.  Buzz has earned five NGSPA national trophies and is now looking forward to a life of leisure, at stud.

Congratulations to GSPCI club members, George and Joan Wilson!
