“I am more than pleased with Echo [born 1/23/09]. I’ve had dogs all my life (including 2 French Brittanies from du Calumbor), and she’s the best I’ve seen. Luckily, I’m retired now, and with her pretty much 24/7. She’s a house dog, and loves her comforts, but has never chewed a thing, or sniffed at food on the table. We can give her the run of the house when away without worrying, and she took to the “invisible fence” at 3 months.
I live in a pretty rural area in Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay, and walk and/or swim her at least twice a day. Off leash, she follows hand signals and comes to the whistle, and constantly checks and adjusts her range and direction. She is extremely birdy, and holds a beautiful point. We will work with her on retrieving quail late summer, as during her initial exposure she was a bit reluctant to give up the birds (Her only fault so far).
I’m working her with a trainer, and he claims she’s the best dog at her age that he’s ever seen, and proudly shows her off to all of his friends.
Enclosed are a couple of pictures, including one of her on the beach at about 4 months, which kind of captures her energy and enthusiasm.
John, as I think you know, I spent the bulk of my career in the outdoor sports, and handled Remington’s advertising for some 15 years. I’ve had the opportunity to hunt birds all over the country, as well as Mexico and Europe. Right now, nothing makes me happier than the expectations of shooting with Echo over wild quail here in Virginia, and preserve birds in the surrounding area.
You produce a wonderful dog, and I sure am happy to be lucky enough to own one.”
