I liked in your mission statement when you said some of the pups you’ve raised have gone on to do well at field trials but all of the puppies you’ve raised have gone on to be good citizens. She’s off to a good start.

Howard, I don’t think there is anything we can do to instill the most important gift a dog can have for the Field Trial Game. That, of course, is the ability to mark. That is something that is revealed between 6 -12 months of age.
What we can do is teach a dog to be self confident, to trust humans, to enjoy learning, and to be well mannered family members. I think all of my puppies have grown to accomplish that mission. I constantly have friends calling and asking for my next reject – because they are great dogs.
At Mesa Veterinary Hospital, where I have been going with my dogs for 25 years, all of the employees know me, and can recall the names of all of the puppies that have passed through their doors. Because the puppies were all very bright, bouncy, affectionate – but, well behaved. They all knew that “sit means sit.”
