“By 15 months, D’Artagnan (aka Dax) pointed and retrieved ruffed grouse, pheasant and chucker – in sun, rain and snow. John, we are very pleased with the job you and your family did in refining Dax’s obedience and instilling the basics of hunt training – he is a mischievous angel in the home (no surprise as Karen spoils him), who is a vigorous, biddable field companion. Dax is intelligent, energetic and assertive, with a handsome conformation that consistently draws compliments – he is a joy to watch move since he, as you said, runs like a gazelle with grace and power. Dax has boundless enthusiasm in the field with a great nose and intense point. He adjust his range to field conditions, checks on us, honors other dogs, hunts dead with determination and is learning to manage running pheasants and to not press the always nervous grouse. Dax is still quite young, but we are getting to know each other in the field and, as he will temper with age and experience, we have great expectations for our future together.
Dax is our second dog from L’Escarbot Kennel and will not be the last as he will need a hunting mate in a couple years. We are extremely pleased with him and your consideration in aiding our selection. Like his semi-retired predecessor out of Ivee, Dax possesses a warm expressive personality, classic conformation and great prey drive – whether released from our truck or out the front door, your dogs are hunting. My wife and I have hunted over other breeds, but are converts to the French Brittany Spaniel as the holistic home/field dog for us – and especially from L’Escarbot Kennel as we believe in your program as evidenced by its results. Thank you for Dax.
