Buddy is moving on up. He is making full bird retrieves now out in the field.  All it took was 1 day.  We left sunshine at home and worked him alone, that day he retrieved his first dove. Since then he has been on target. He is making  great progress.

Buddy is awesome.  and is really impressing us. He is hunting quail now.  He sits, stays ( we have him on stay now up to about 75 yards) comes, fully house trained, and is learning down.  He is fantastic in the field. He is almost flushing now, and he now follows the barrell for each shot and holds till sent to get the bird. He is fully covering me and thomas and hardly ever misses a bird.  We like to work buddy on his own so there is less competition and so he can have a chance to get a bird. Ha ha. I will be taking lots of pics the next few months and will keep you updated.   Hope all is well there.   Talk to ya later.  Jess and tom....  :)

We went out for duck opening day and I thought you would like some pictures of Buddy s first day.  He was awesome. It was definately worth the wait, although we would rather we got him sooner. We could not have gotten a better pup.

This last dove season I believe Buddy only missed like 3 birds.  He is fantastic.  And Sunshine is finally honoring Buddys rerieves. I limited out on one day and she only missed a few birds. Ha ha we can't go outside in camo or with a gun, they go nutts.  If we go target practicing we have to sneak the guns out without them noticing.

Dear Genia , My husband and I would like to thank you for providing such a wonderful dog in Gypsy our little chocolate lab.  To begin with she is very loving and extremely obient.  She began to retive with no training on our part.  With just a little work and patients she has developed into a great dog at 8 months old.  We knew Gypsy was smart when we noticed she like to retive two things a once and does this quite successfully.  We took her to Obients School and she graduted top of the class.  She has learned many commands like sit , stay , down, take it , leave it , and of course retieve.  She is also being trained to respond to hand commands for those same intial commands.  She has such a beautiful shinnig coat and we get compliments all the time.  I am sending you some pictures in a sort of croilogical order so you can see what a fine dog she has developed into.  Sincerely Lorraine & Larry Walden

I just wanted to let you know how wonderful Bucket is doing.  He is so SMART!!  I mean unbelievably SMART -  We only got him from you 6 weeks ago and I can count on one hand the accidents he has had in the house (He has never pooped in the house - not even once!!!) - he is fully trained, can sit/shake hands/lay down & completely rollover!! Amazing - most people who see it say they can only get their adults dogs to sit!!!  We are so attached to him, and yes he is definitely one of the family.

My father-in-law says Bucket is so smart that he thinks we can have him doing handstands soon!!  Anyways, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  THANK YOU for giving us the best dog in the world!   Bucket has made our lives complete and we absolutely love him with all our hearts.

One of these days, I will definitely bring him back to visit you guys!

Gus is starting to settle down a little bit and is much less toothy then when he was a little baby. I am impressed at his training progression since, admittedly, I don't have alot of time to spend with him every day. He now sits, stays, and comes by voice and whistle commands. I took him on his first Dove hunt last month and he had a great time. He even got to carry around his first dove! I can't seem to find the picture though. Here are two from New Years when we went up to our cabin in Forest Lakes. He had a spectacular time playing in the snow.

Gauge is one of Chesters pups, but not out of our females. He came to us due to his owners life unexpedly changing. We rehomed him for them into a hunting/family home and he is doing a great job.

Hi Genia,

Just wanted to tell you how great Gauge is doing.
 He is working blind retrieves already. Very gentle with real birds. Had a friend who works with Pointers watch us and he said he thinks Gauge is a natural. 
My husband loves him too.

 Gauge's only problem is he loves to work so much, it takes him a little while to settle. He just gets so excited. But I think that will come with maturity.

How much do you sell your puppy's for?  Maybe next year if I can sell some more horses I might like to get a pup to bring up and that way I will have a dog for each of us. 

Again thanks so much for Gauge, 
Yvonne
