Sadie's first litter, a report back from a new owner of a Sadie pup

This is Shelby daughter to Sadie owned by the Iversson Family of Big Lake, Mn. The report from them was Shelby has exceeded their expectations! No potty accidents in the house, would rather go outside. Picked her bed over the crate and sleeps through the night. Well behaved very social, very good on a leash and a  regal appearance high head tail up and confident. Shelby will be house pet hunting dog.
I've kept a litter mate I can confirm this report, my pup was walking off leash after her third training sessionso I have no doubt how sharp these puppies are.

Sadie Now!

Lady does it

My friend Julie and her dog Lady were able to compete in their first trial ever. Julie still healing from her tragic motorcycle accident brought her crutches and cane to this event. Lady now 7 years old that never was used properly according to her breeding.. Julie has taken the time to see that Lady got some of what well bred setters are supposed to have even if it meant she had to walk thru snow and cold while on crutches.

Saturday April 14th 2012 Julie was able to run Lady in her first ever field trial. Lady and Julie made it thru with out being disqualified which is a major deal all in it's self and found two birds to boot. Lady did not receive a placement but as I said, was not disqualified! Julie just proved you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Sadie 12/16/2011

Well my pup Sadie is begining to listen and work very nice. I caught this shot with my phone camera. I never seem to have the good camera for the good shots. Well the pheasant had slipped away from her but we did eventually get it.

Lady Claire

Claire, now known as Lady in the capable hands of my close friend Julie, is beginning to come around nicely. Saturday the 23rd we went out for a bit of training Lady showed enthusiasm for the hunt not only in the field but when she hears her bell on her hunting collar she now gets excited know she gets to go. Lady also is beginning to handle nice for Julie and works at a good hunting distance. She showed signs of hunting objectives this weekend something hadn't been doing in the past. She is beginning to respond to hand signals while afield and pay closer attention to what Julie is doing. Her listening skills still need a little work but she has come a long way in a short time already I have no doubt Julie is going to have

a great hunting season this coming fall.

In the photo Lady is pointing a planted quail and Sadie is honoring the point. Julie is kicking around looking for the quail and trying to tempt Lady off point so she can be corrected but both dogs remained steady to flush.

Profile: Sadie

Sadie now 1 year old is a very intense puppy with a big set of wheels. Her nose is excellent she's very well gaited and runs fast and effortlessly. She is still in the tweety bird stage so she likes to chase tweety birds. She is almost broke except when she can see the bird. I expect by this fall she'll get to do some productive hunting.

Clair gets a new home

Claire pictured here with Julie her new owner/master. Clair enjoys being part house dog part, hunting dog. Claire is 5yrs old and was basically neglected of her needs as a well bred high end hunting dog so she is under going training/retraining to get her out of some of the bad habits she's developed over the years. Now that Julie is in charge Clair will have at the least the life of a hunting dog.
