Blaze | GSP (German Shorthair Pointer)

Mascot, Thinks He is a Surveyor, MBS (Master Bird Sniffer)

Blaze is our 13 year old GSP that is the face of the company. He may be 13 but dont let your guard down, he can easily fool you for a puppy. Blazes favorite things to do are eat, go on walks with family, terrorizing the fruit and vegetable gardens, swimming in the Kankakee River, and just generally rolling in grass. He is regarded to as the king where he resides. One thing we know he can't wait for besides being the face of the company is to go on peasant hunts in the fall and winter.
