Hi Chris, Thought you would enjoy an update. Libby is doing great,
settling in, eating good and enjoying life. We took her out this morning
and worked her with a couple of 7 week old hen pheasants. She does
point. She held several points for 4 to 5 seconds which is great for a
small puppy, followed scent with her nose, and would pivot when she
came into the scent cone. We are very happy with her. She also has
passed an inspection from my daughter in law who owns and shows,
hunts and does agility with her German Short hairs. Thanks again, Greg

Update- 5/10/2010
Chris, Belle is wonderful with our family. We have had the usual training
of don't jump, gotten past the puppy biting, nipping, etc. which is usual
puppy stuff, she is very good natured -the other day Michael was using
her as a pillow. She's got personality coming out her ears and is just
about as sweet as they come. She quickly found her way into our hearts.
Her training is going quite well. She is very quick to pick up on new
tasks, etc. She is in the process of being whistle trained and is picking it
up very quickly. She is the brightest dog we have worked with.
Her Drive is Phenomenal. She has such a desire to please. She has
pointed, she listens, and is excited about what she is doing. We have had
her out in the marsh, however, she was only about 7 months old, but she

Hello Chris,
Timber is growing up nicely. He is a mellow dog, loves to play with the
kids. His favorite game is keep away. You throw a ball, he fetches then
runs at us, by us and wants us to chase him. He's very fast! Not sure I've
ever seen a dog this fast. He has a beautiful coat with a nice tint of his
fathers red in the brown. As far as pointing, I've been working on that.
We haven't been out hunting yet but he has pointed a few times. I was
using a fishing pole with a pheasant wing, but had to stop that....because
it became a real problem on fishing trips...hahaha.
Even had to pull a couple of lures outta his mouth! He's been a joy, the kids love him, we love him
and we couldn't have asked for a better lab. On top of all that, he's a very good looking Lab.

and plenty of exercise with friends and family. Buck is a handsome pup.
Update-10/5/09,
Buck and Chad have their limit early with some great retrieves through
the ice. Great hunt with a young and upcoming Duckpup. Congrats Chad!
Very nice Chad, keep it up. "C. Sutch"

Update- November 24, 2009
Cuda is everything you advertise your dogs to be. Our work with him has
been more in the realm of obedience training to assure he would be a
good indoor pet (he was worth the money just to have him lick the kid's
faces and wake them for school. He gets them laughing where it was a
battle for us). Fortunately, he is so full of instinct that he's been great in
the marsh. We've hunted every weekend except one off for elk and one
for neutering. He doesn't have the luxury of hunting from a boat so he's
had to spend many hours wading. He's been so good to hold by us and
not race around.
Guns haven't bothered him from the first shot. I finally dropped 3 ducks last Saturday and he made
his first retrieves. At first he wasn't sure this was allowable as I've had to hold him back from
chasing the decoys when throwing them out.
He continues to become like his father with the fox red fur and solid musculature. At 7 months he's
60lbs. Paul Stout
jumped out of the boat, went swimming and was excited to be out there. I think this upcoming duck
season will be a great year with her. From the beginning she crate trained easily, picked up sit,
down, stay, heel, her name, etc. extremely quickly.
Thanks for everything! We are so glad that we have her. She's awesome!! Steph

Update- 12/14/2011
Hi Chris, I hope things are going good for you guys. I had a min so I
thought I'd give you an update on Tessa and how she is doing.
Its all good, she got her APLA Grand Master Title in Sept, I believe she is
the only Grand Master Titled dog in the state! All of the dogs I've had
have been very good but Tessa is the best, no question! She really put
on a show at the test, had excellent results both days on both the land
and water tests, and the only dog to stick all 5 points on both days on the
upland test! I got a lot of compliments on her from everyone attending
including the judges, they were really impressed with what they saw. On
the Grand Master test I let her hunt the field all by herself, the only
walking we did was after she would go on point. The judges and
everyone really thought that was awesome. There is a 20 min time limit
and Tessa was the only dog that didn't need all 20 min, she pointed and
we had all 5 birds in the bag in about 8 1/2 minutes. Any way I'm so
proud of her, we have become an awesome team, she is so obedient and
patient more so than any dog I have ever known. Its been a great year for
ducks this year, she has well over 100 retrieves, and she's the
designated go to dog on the tough or long retrieves.
Tess is so versatile, she absolutely loves Pheasants, she covers an
unbelievable amount of ground while hunting both Pheasants and
Chukars, and the good thing is, nothing gets away!! She goes under
water after ducks when they dive and I've watched her track a winged
Pheasant over a quarter mile to find it, hard to believe I know! Every
morning she fetches my socks, shoes (or boots) my watch, wallet and my
phone for me, she gets in the linen closet and gets a towel for me after I
get out of the shower, she knows how to open and close the doors in the
house and puts the garbage out for us. That’s just some of the things I
have taught her plus a few tricks and stuff.. and she loves to do them all.
I tell everyone that she is one of the top 10 best dogs in the world! well I
would like to think so anyway.
I'm making a video of her hunting and doing some of the stuff mentioned
above, it should be pretty good.
Anyway, here are a few recent photo's of her..
Gunner here on point is much bigger now and will start his hunting in the following weeks. He progressed as a young pup retrieving multiples at an early age. Up to 4 to 5 marks at just 4 months. Gunner started pointing young, a great point like his father and very focused and some birds to show off soon. Gunner will be a fine hunting dog. CS
