My Weimarner passed away a few months ago and I told my wife we would get another dog. I was looking for a Vizsla, but there were few and far breeders in Colorado (those that did wanted $$$$$$$ or no litters for another 6-12 months). Vizsla's are a birddog, so I pushed my search into Kansas (Weim came from there) and Nebraska. I found a couple in KS but it was the other side of the State. My chance I found a new litter in NE, but again it was in Lincoln..I bit the bullet and made the 6.5 hour drive.
He was the biggest of the litter (should get up to 60lbs) but i bit more "laid back" for being a high energy dog.
Now the fun part names...I wanted NAKEEB which is Arabic for Captain (i'm a CPT in the military and went to Iraq twice as a CPT) or KAPOS for a town in Hungary(near a base I was stationed at). My wife was not thrilled with those names...Next list of names were Boston, Fenway, and Schilling (I'm a die hard Red Sox fan). The other name was Remus...untill I told my wife about Remus exhausts...My son wanted to call him WATER...uhmm NO. Those were the top ten names...
We decided on Schilling, for Curt Schilling and for 90 Shilling Ale (pronounced the same).
