Minnesota Grouse

[Bruce Day]

Angel, yes.

Steve, yes. She came from Mel Pfeifle . To my understanding, Brian Hayes is transferring the Elhew name and line to Mel, and she in turn will work closely with Jerry Havel of Pineridge and his dog trainer Robert Hall to further and protect the Elhew line. My pup is out of Elhew Seaman, my previous ones have been out of Elhew Snakefoot and Elhew Agitator. There is some frozen semen left from the heart of the line. The Elhew line is in good care. There will be a breeding program at Pineridge. Some of the last few Hampshire/Pfeifle litters have gone entirely to Pineridge. Not a bad thing to have a pointer pup who learns on ruffed grouse and woodcock. My new pointer is cautious, covers ground, works without an e collar, and naturally retrieves. She will get immersed in a week and a half when we go to SoDak and bathes in wild pheasant scent for anywhere from several days to ten days.

Nice dog Bruce. Any dog who learns on grouse and woodcock are a step ahead. My friend and Registered Maine Guide Garrett Booth who owns Greys Outfitting in The Forks, Maine, is very close to Mel and breeds Elhews from the frozen semen you reference. I hunted with him last fall and his dogs are great. Almost as good as my Llewellen
