“Your 'EJ', who is now known as "Eli" for his informal name is doing wonderfully. He is a terrific pup; loving, eager to please, very friendly with strangers (people and pups), and a real athlete. He is keeping us healthy just making sure we get him enough exercise. While he is a family house dog for us, he has tremendous natural instincts, and so we are going to take him out to some hunting grounds just so he can enjoy getting the scents of the birds. Meanwhile, he is a natural hunter in the parks we let him run around here! Eli is everybody's favorite at the dog park and around town.”

 “Hi Jeremy, I just wanted to drop you a note with an update on Sophie. She is doing very well and we could not be happier. We have an off leash dog park a few miles from our house, we try and get the dogs to the park at least 3 times per week. Sophie is very well adjusted around other dogs she encounters at the park and is not aggressive towards our cats. We did send Sophie to a 2 week gun and bird introduction training course the Monday after Thanksgiving. The trainer stated Sophie was birdie and very focused on birds. When Kristen and I went to pickup Sophie after the 2 weeks, the trainers took us to a field to watch Sophie’s development. They released a bird in deep grass and then release Sophie, she pounced into the grass and pointed the bird, once the bird flew, the trainer shot the bird and Sophie went and retrieved the bird, it was cool to see. We will be taking her back to the same trainer the first week in February, for a 4 week course. She will be getting some obedience training, shock collar, gun and field work. I will also be going out there a few times and get trained by the trainers. We had Sophie spade in the middle of December, and she weighed 38 lbs., she got back to full speed around Christmas time. I will send you another email with a Sophie update the first part of March.”

“Thank you Amy!! We have enjoyed Oscar tremendously in our house. He has been such a great dog. It is funny to watch him develop more of a personality as he gets to know us and his surroundings better. We have all grown an attachment to him! Thanks again for this GREAT addition to our family!!”
“Our AGR English Setter is the ideal combination of a fantastic hunting companion and a superb family dog. His bird drive and incredible nose make for great pheasant hunts while his laid back and calm demeanor make him a joy to have around the house.”
