I be fine. Have pups on the ground and I picked up a female last spring from Qubec that I hope to breed in the future. I need to get her wheels moving on search, but she tracked a wild rooster in fine fashion Sunday nite. Retrieves eagerly, jumping up and down for the next toss land or water. Had hoped to test her in NAVHDA this fall, but have not got her on enough birds for good Prize I SEARCH.
