Dog of The Month April 2014 |
Filson (Anderson's Wild Wing Citori Meet Filson! Why is he all dressed up in a costume? Well, Filson was asked to be a calendar dog for a photo shoot to benefit the Tri-cities Opera in Binghamton, NY. Proceeds from the calendar not only support the performing arts but also local pet rescue agencies. Filson is portraying the Russian Prince Orlofsky from Strauss's Opera, Die Fledermaus. More great pictures of local pets in opera roles and photographed by Randy Cummings of Bunn Hill Photography are available at: www.tricitiesopera.com The website also allows people to vote for their favorite calendar dog (or Filson!) until 4/15/14, with all proceeds supporting the local performing arts. Filson is currently 16 months old. At 9 months old, he earned his first AKC points in the show ring and 3 legs of his Junior Hunter were completed in the Fall of 2013. Many thanks to his breeders: Chet and Nancy Anderson (Anderson's Vizslas) for this beautiful birdie boy out of Summer and Cazador (Celtic Essence Vizslas). Filson is owned, handled and loved by Lynda Ruffini. |
