Frankie is a Large Munsterlander who was born and raised in Pennsylvania as a bird hunting dog.  Frankie's mom (a dog trainer) wanted a therapy dog.  Frankie's dad said the mom could have a therapy dog, as long as he got his hunting dog.  So we found a dog who we thought could do both.  Frankie's breeder had just found out she wasn't "perfect" for breeding and wanted to find a good home for her.  Voila!!!  So Frankie comes to Florida, and we soon realized why the breeder/hunting guide called her "soft."  She would rather have bows in her hair and roll over on her back to be pet than be bothered with hunting. After the groomer put bows in her hair, and at that point it was realized by all that she was no longer a hunting dog, she was called "The World's First Hunting Poodle" as well as Gussie Eskowitz, the hunting dog who retired in Florida.   So Frankie is a working therapy dog who also helps recruit and train other dogs to help her put smiles on people's faces who normally have nothing to smile about!!!  It doesn't get any better than that!
