Background Story: We visited his litter of 10 when they were 4 weeks old. I held several including Argiano and when I put him back with the others, I took a photo of the whole litter. It wasn’t until I saw the photo later that I realized he was looking straight at me. How did a German Shorthaired Pointer get the name of an Italian winery? His sire was named Molto Bene, so we chose to give him the name of our favorite Brunello, Argiano.
