More: Deacon is a Ruggerheim German Shorthair from a 97 percent champion pedigree going back to top producer of Dual Champions, Ruggerheim Bit of Bourbon. He was pointing quail at 3 months old with my other adult dogs honoring his work. He loves to hunt, play with anyone that has a toy, cuddle with my grand daughter laying directly on top of him, or do ANYTHING active with the family, all with his sweet disposition.
