John – Brie finished the season well – we shot 25 quail, 9 chukars, and 5 pheasants over her yesterday .  She was hunting with 3 English Setters and still retrieved all but 4 quail!  When the setters were ready to lie down and quit , Brie kept going back out to the fields , turning around and barking at me as if to say “hey – there’s still birds out there!”

She only has one speed in the field – 100% all out.  She remains a retrieving machine .  Note that in the photo where she is pointing with the setters she has a bird In her mouth!

I think she might drive me nuts in the off season – I hope I can keep up with her.
