“It was great to see how Maddie’s learned on each of our hunts. This time she was outstanding! My brother-in-law with whom I’ve hunted for 30+ years said she’s far and away the best dog I’ve ever had. As much as we love Cassie, we have to agree. Her nose is excellent and, as you know, she’s relentless and seemingly untiring. “Exuberant” is the word that comes to mind when describing her.

She also got some experience retrieving. My brother-in-law shot a high-flyer which landed about 2 feet from Maddie and kind of startled her since she hadn’t seen the bird getting up. She picked it up and delivered it to hand to him. She continued to retrieve although, after the first time, she hesitated and was a bit reluctant to give it up although she didn’t run away with it. You could just see her getting a bit wilder about retrieving the more she did it. Irene almost cried when she saw her bringing a bird to my brother-in-law the last day. It is a beautiful sight.

Although I have the e-collar on her just in case, I seldom if ever use my whistle because she checks back so regularly. If I want her back I just catch her eye, stand still, and she comes running. It’s nice not to have to worry about her running away.

So, if you need an honest and authentic testimonial, I’m your man. I think anyone who saw her work would be calling you to order a pup.”
