I really liked his older siblings a lot, and have enjoyed seeing them mature into beautiful adults. When this breeding happened, I found myself immediately interested in adding one of them to my family. I've known his parents for years, and have enjoyed showing, coursing and racing with them.
Dean stood out to me at birth. His little split face markings caught my eye initially, due to his resemblance to his cousin Aiden, and as he's gotten older he's proven himself to be an extremely sweet boy and a very quick learner, as well as having strong prey and hunt drive. He is arguably my best hunting dog. He loves everyone and is very people-oriented and confident; he is a blast to have in my family and has a large fan club. It's hard to resist his exuberant personality and the gifts he likes to bring to his new friends (whatever is on hand that he is able to lift)! Dean was the first almost entirely emotional choice I've made in picking an Ibizan; it was love at first sight. Dean loves all running sports, but really found his niche in racing. Although he's a soft boy, and will often give way if another dog pushes, he generally starts off in the lead and maintains it by a significant margin in most company. He's a fantastic hunting dog, with a lot of hunting drive but enough brains and calmness to think while his senses are engaged. He's my only dog I can reliably call off prey, and yet he's also my most successful hunter. As fellow fans of Supernatural may have guessed, Dean's name is from one of my very favorite shows! |
