Client Quote:

Hi Richard,

Just wanted to let you know that Tank did good at the dove hunt yesterday. At first he wanted to go after every bird, but he calmed down and did real well afterwards. Had a small problem at first because he wouldn't use his nose. But by the end, he was finding every one of them. And your right, they were all in the back and we had to keep taking the feathers out of his mouth, but he really enjoyed hunting with us. Others saw him and said how well behaved and well trained he was.

Mary and I are real happy with him. Now we have someone to go hunting with besides each other. Just wanted to let you know how he did.
