Dan,
Attached are a few shots of Gus and the big dog,Roxie. The two have become great friends. The
pup can sometimes be a little rough, but Roxie puts him in his place. Gus is bold, independent, smart, and somewhat headstrong. We are pretty much letting him be a puppy while exposing him to as much as possible. Everyone he meets loves his markings and says what a handsome dog he is. I have to agree. I think he's going to be a great dog. I'll keep you posted on his progress.
Thanks

We have a very excited home with the new puppy. My daughter who is home from college cried tears or joy and everyone is elated to have the new puppy. My 11 year old son Joe told me this morning he can not wait to get home from school because he has someone that will be excited to see him everyday besides his mother. My Boykin Spaniel is getting along with her also. I have attached a few pictures. She is a very smart dog and only has had a couple accidents in the house since we brought her home. She already goes to the door and scratches to go outside. My son and his friends along with my daughter took him to our local skeet shooting range and she just played and sat in my dauthters lap and seemed very calm while the range was very busy after Christmas.

It was nice meeting you and we look forward to our puppy growing and becoming part of our family. We have tried numerous names from Betsy, Bailey, Marsh, Sumter, Lily, Pawley, Cocoa and Ginger among others. We settled on Covey. I will stay in touch and if I have any questions that come up, I will let you know. Thanks again and have a great new year. I had trouble attaching the pictures so I will just forward a few.

I was taking pictures of our pup yesterday and was thinking of you. I will send some of them to you. She is doing terrific. I have to keep Zeke and her apart most of the time since she really loves to play with Zeke and she is not big enough yet to handle him. As soon as she grows a little they will have a wonderful time together. They love to be with one another. I have just started her on some feathers; she is going to be a great addition to the family.

True grit with his woodcock! Grit is a natural and loves to hunt. He has already pointed and retrieved 15 chukar, a covey of quail, and 2 pheasants at our club. He is so handsome and a fun dog. He loves the beach and retrieves his dummy in the surf. We just love him.
Love to all,
Jo and Bill

Hi, Dan,
Sorry for not responding sooner. It has been just real crazy the past 7 months. Riley is doing well. He started off a little slow almost like he was not interested in the birds at all. But has improved 100% the past few months. He had a good hour workout today by himself. He was on point and flushing plus we shot over him for the first time with no problem. Then he went an hour with the North East Jr. Field Chanp. (another French Britt Orvis) who taught him a few things. It's a beautiful sight seeing them both on point and Riley holding it. It's times like this you wish you had a camera. How's the granddaughter doing with her horse? Hope everyone is healthy and have a good new year. I'll call you in a few weeks after Riley's first hunt under his collar.

Dan,
We couldn't be happier with our pup. She has adjusted well with our other dog and is training well.

Dan,
Here are a few pictures from the Invitational. Ellie did real well. We started in the field where we ran an hour brace with a female short hair who wasn't exactly runnng clean. The short hair almost knocked Ellie over when she was breaking on a bird and Ellie was backing. Ellie backed real nice three times and found six or seven of her own birds. All her retieves were spot on; she really gave the judges something to talk about. Next we had our blind retrieve, where she had to cross about 100 yard channel of water, search the far shore for a scent trail, track the dead duck and retrieve it to hand. Ellie really nailed this. She took a great line across, hit shore directly at the scent trail, tracked beautifully, and made a real nice retrieve to hand. When we were leaving the event, the senior judge came over to me and said it was the nicest one he'd seen that day. From there we went to the Honor By Retrieve, which is an event where they set your dog at the water's edge, then throw a duck right in front of your dog, shoot, and then send another dog for the retrieve. Ellie sat through it all just fine. Finally we went to the Double Marked Retrieve. We had to heel off lead as we did for all the events, down to the water's edge. They threw two ducks. I fired a blank shot at each and then sent Ellie for the second bird first. Once she got to the duck and turned back they fired a distraction shot. These were the biggest ducks I've ever seen, and I was worried about the grip Ellie had on it. Twice on the swin back in I could see her trying to get a better grip, but each time she tried the duck would just move with her mouth and she couldn't, so when she got to shore where she could force her mouth around it better, she did. She then delivered the duck to hand, presenting it to me nicely. I then sent her for the memory bird and she made a clean retrieve. She did everything happily. I love that she is so happy to work for me. It's not just her doing as I ask, but loving each second as much as I do. It was a pleasure to train her, and I'm so looking forward to the memories we will make in the coming hunting season. I'm already looking at running a few other events, more for fun than anything. She is currently the only breedable female French Brit, and the third ever to pass. She received a 200 points Max score.
In NAVHDA she was tested NA 8 month old receiving a 106/112 Prize ll, at 2 years 10 months she was tested Utility level and received 204/204 for a max score prize and became a Versatile Champion on 9/15/2011 with a 200 point max score at 3 years 11 months.
Thanks again for the great dog.

Dan,
It was nice meeting Beth. Our puppy is wonderful; he is extremely smart with a great nose. We have had a few quick points and he is adjusting to his collar. We couldn't be happier with Pete.

Dan,
Zeke is doing terrific. I have had him out training on quail dummies, etc, and he loves to hunt. He does a wonderful job finding and staying on point. He sits, comes and is loving the run of the house with Judie making a little baby of him. Gus, my older FB, passed away a month ago with a blood problem that could not be corrected. I miss him a lot, but am pleased that Zeke is here to help. I was really hoping to have the two of them hunt this year, but that was not to be.
I will take some pictures of Zeke in the field and send them to you so you can see how much he has grown.
Over the next year or so I am hoping to buy another FB. I do like having two in the house and in the field with me.
Hope all is well with you, your family and your dogs.
As ever,
Charlie

Dan:This is Brandy at 8 months.She is a beauty,
very athletic,loving and fun spoiled.She gives us joy and companionship and is a great watch dog.
Her fine breeding as a bird dog is no doubt wasted
on us but I am sure she could be the best.
Be Well
Joy
