Ashley,

Wanted to share a recent picture of Macon with you and let you know what has been going on with her this past year.
She is training with Jerry Day in Newnan, Georgia and she is doing really well.

She won her HRC Started title on 9/27/2009 at the Old South Hunt Test in Pine Mountain and this past weekend she received two ribbons toward her AKC Junior Title.

She has been training with Jerry since mid-March and he has her training with some of the seasoned and finished dogs. Pretty awesome for only 14 months! Jerry has nothing but good things to say about her and believes she may have what it takes to run in national field trials (wow!). We really miss her since we only see her on weekends, she’ll be home with us in mid-November for hunting season and possibly back with Jerry in Spring for field trial training.

She is beautiful and an awesome dog with the sweetest personality. She can retrieve a duck like no one’s business which really tickles Sandy
and snuggle with me at the end of the day which warms my heart.

We’ll keep you posted on her progress!

• Ashley,

Greetings from NC!!

Hope all is well down your way. Just wanted to let you know about Trooper (Buster and Sadie pup). He's doing great. We're getting ready for opening of dove season next weekend. Then he'll be going into hunt tests in Oct. We're very excited and know he'll do great. Also, he has rated an excellent on his OFA, and his CERF last Dec. was normal. Our kids love him to death, the neighborhood kids love playing with him. He's just an all around wonderful dog.

Just wanted to say thanks again!!

Ashley,

Just dropping a long overdue note and a photo of Eve (aka: Evening Tide). She was out of Dab's litter born in August. She is doing remarkable and was everything we hoped for. A sweet and wonderful house pet for my wife and kids, but all business in the field.
She absolutely loves birds, I shot our first pheasant over her at 12 weeks.

When she arrived in October, hunting over her this year wasn't even a consideration, but after she caught a pheasant at 11 weeks I just couldn't wait any longer! We are in the middle of a deep freeze in the northeast right now so birds are scarce, so we are concentrating on obedience right now. Not something either of us are crazy
about, but needs to get done. She seems more bored with it than anything. Can hardly wait to resume field work in the spring.
Thanks so much for producing such wonderful pups. I will keep you posted on Eve's progress.

Sincerely,

Kirk Enko

Ashley,

Thought I would drop you a line and give you an update. Duck Unlimited used Carmen in one of their online articles.

She is doing great and is an amazing hunting companion and member of the family. So, thanks for everything and Happy Holidays.

Ashley,

Hey Ashley! Here are the copies of Luke’s pictures from when he appeared in Delta Waterfowl Magazine. I know you have recently updated the website and didn’t know if you wanted to add this as well.

I hope to get scanned images of the article soon.

Talk to you soon!!

Ashley,

Elvis is a mercy/bull gater pup. He qualified all-age this spring with a first as a two year old. We're very proud of him. He has an outstanding work ethic and is a delight to have in the house.

Have a great day.

Best,

Ashley,

John and I bought Chopper from you in 2002. He is such an extremely smart dog. Chopper has the soul and spirit that can capture anyone’s heart; even people that do not like dogs (if you can imagine that) fall in love with him. So, I guess I just wanted to tell you thank you for Chopper, he is such a blessing in so many different ways; he brings a smile to my face and to John’s face on a daily basis.

Again, thank you!!!

Ashley,

How's it going, this is my Cody X Annie pup at 16 months on the last hunt of the year in oklahoma, he picked up 275 ducks this year (his first year).

Thanks,

Scott

Ashley,
I just can't believe we've only had her 3 1/2 wks!! Let me just tell you that she is the sweetest and smartest puppy ever!! We certainly picked the perfect baby for our family. She doesn't even cry at night...just a whimper and Alan takes her out to potty. She's now 10lbs and had her 2nd set of shots right on time (and the first appt of the day, just like you said) and she's big buddies w/ our other babies as well. We're playing alot of games w/ her introducing commands, etc. and she's really catching on. Alan got those books/DVD "water dog" and "family dog", so that's helping us to train her properly. She's getting lots of exercise. Also, she's only had 2 accidents in her bed and that was when we were away, however we've never left her for more than 3hrs at a time. She LOVES her bed!

Here are a few pictures and all but the one (of her and Tucker playing) were just taken. The white dog is my daughter's and they just met. I have a whole album devoted to her on my Facebook page, which of course you are welcome to "friend" me at. (Donna K Brown) I hate to think what it's going to be like when we have a grandchild!!

So, just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful addition to our family. We couldn't have asked for any more and appreciate all the time you invested in her. By the way, she's still such a snuggler. Sometimes I think she'd love it if I got one of those baby slings and could carry her around all day! I'm SO thankful that I can be home all day w/ her.

Thanks again and we hope all is well with your family. HAPPY EASTER!!

Donna and Alan Brown
