The Photo Challenge this month over at I Heart Faces is “Pet Faces”. This is my awesome dog, Xander. He’s a German Shorthair, a breed often sought by pheasant hunters because of their ability to “point” out a bird and then retrieve it. When Xander was only a few days old he was scratched in the eye by one of his litter mates and the breeder didn’t seek treatment for him. By the time we got him at 8 weeks he was already blind from the infection that took over and his eye was a cloudy blue color. Since this breeder sells to people who want a “perfect” dog with a great blood line, no one wanted him. We were thrilled to take home our “discount dog” and couldn’t be happier with him. He’s a loyal, loving and gentle animal who is truly part of our family. It’s amazing how expressive his eyes are considering he only has the use of one.

Xander is beautiful! What a gorgeous shot. Love the lighting!
Its sad how people can miss out on the most incredible dogs because they aren’t
“perfect”. He’s a darling dog!
