Chris, I know how it is to lose a great pup. You have met my outstanding Wirehair, Eva, at the Northeast Shoot at Ernie's, and at the Southern Side by Side. My lovely Linda is always on the other end of the lead at these shoots. We lost Eva a couple of years ago and I am heartbroken that the search for a non allergenic combo dog has resulted in an unsuccessful result of money hungry breeders. I remember when my dad offered a litter of champion bred Irish Setters in 1952, when I was seven years old, and accepted a casting rod and reel as payment for one of the pups when the buyer couldn't come up with $45.00 for the last bitch in the litter.
