I owe a lot of folks thanks for the help along the way. Bruce Shaffer from Almost Heaven GSP's bred a great litter, helped convince me to explore FTs and has helped any time I needed it. He has trained Mae and campaigned her for me last winter and spring and after she broke his heart a few times last year he might have been just as happy as I was Sunday. Thanks again Bruce for all your help.
This dog spent a summer on the prairies in Montana with Justin Wiseman and fully believe that helped her develop her ability to go find birds when others struggle. She is a true bird dog and I enjoyed killing sharpies and huns over her in September this year. Not only that but Quintin and Justin have both helped me a great deal with handling and helped me completely change how I handle a dog and approach a FT.
Last but not least Maurice Lindley has become a good friend and helped Mae and I a ton over the past 4 years. I'm lucky he is just down the road and get to spend a lot of time working dogs with him. These guys have proven even a village can raise and idiot with a nice dog!!
Hopefully I will get to post her pic again sometime this spring.
