Cheryl, Thought I would drop you a line about Cheyenne. We just got back from South Dakota Oct. 31, 2005 and wow did she do good but I’ll start from the beginning. From day 1 she has been the best dog money can buy. House breaking and crate training were a breeze. She is VERY smart and catches on to everything easily. In the past few months I’ve been taking her to a dog trainer off and on and have been working with her on the things she learned in between. Here’s a quote from my dog trainer. “I’m not sure where you got this puppy from but HOLY COW do they know how to breed them”. He is a full time trainer and always has 8-10 client dogs and says there’s not a dog that comes through his kennel like this and would put her up against 90% of all the dogs and she would show them up. When people around here talk about a steady dog they consider a 3 minute point rock solid. About a month ago we put a bird out for her and she pointed over 30 minutes without as much as even a creep. And when we flushed the bird and harvested it she retrieved like you wouldn’t believe. All of this at 9 MONTHS OLD!!. We have even as much as taken our training birds and dropped them at her feet and flew them between her nose and the pointed bird and she won’t break!!!! She also is very strong at backing/honoring another dogs point. All this came natural with no training at all. When we were in South Dakota we had 4 people hunting behind her and my other puppy and we had our limit every day (12 per day) in less than 4 hours per day. That’s hunting all public land too!!!! Cheyenne stuck probably 75% of all the birds we harvested and honored on all the points from the other puppy. Not to mention retrieving every bird the other puppy didn’t. She would go just wide open from the time you let her out into the field until you put her back in the box. To say the least she is bird crazy. Then when you go from the field to home you get a completely different dog. You get in the house and she’s super mellow and lays by your feet. If you seen her in the house you would probably think this lazy dog couldn’t hunt if she wanted to. I’ve had tons of compliments about how pretty she is too. I actually have people that want to reserve puppies out of her first litter. I tell them it will be a year and a few months and they say they will gladly wait. I tell a lot of people about your web site too. Thanks again for a puppy of this caliber
