Thanks Men -

Yes Emma is a DD out of 3 Devils in Nampa, Idaho - 8 years old this month. I am lucky to have her. Not field trial champion caliber like some of the dogs in our club, but I would not trade her for the world! She is a solid 8.5 /10 retriever and has a big nose on upland birds. Her manners are spectacular - and she has been a great friend to my daughter. I believe she will be my "once in a lifetime" dog.

Here's a pick from what seems like yesterday but is 7 years ago!

Yes Buddy -

It was a big hunt on the Vanderbilt Marsh - I was in my favorite pothole with my good friend and hunting partner Doug W. - That is my 16 Gauge PHE -28 inch steel barrel I/M Full in the picture. We needed one more Mallard for a full bag. The picture next my my name on the site is from the ride in on the same day. One of the days I remember quite clearly..... just before I nod off..

I have known Emma since Mark brought her home. She is a sweet girl, a great duck dog and has had a great life that few dogs will experience. She is a good looking pup considering she is not a Black Lab!!

OK; how come I still have the old pic? I've logged out and back in, etc.
