Bob Garner, the former host of the TV show Michigan Outdoors, is giving the last of Jazzy’s puppies, Lex, a great new home. We’ve loved having the fun-loving, friendly Lex around, but we know he’ll love his new family.

I just talked to Jim, the head of the hunting group. He was as happy as a lark and said the guys loved every minute of the hunts…. I want to thank both of you for always doing a great job and I do honestly thank you because when you’re there I do not have to think about how the hunt is going.

One of Our Dogs: Jazzy

Jazzy is a Certified Pointing Retriever: A 65-pound-package of intelligence, high drive, and tremendous instincts.

She is a tireless bird finder who loves to please. She is at home finding birds, as well as making explosive, long-jumping water retrieves.

After a long day of work, Jazzy loves to come in the house to spend family time and get her “pets” for a job well done.

She is a fun dog to be around and is often a clown who loves to entertain. She is a great hunter and a special part of the family.

Here’s a great video of the APLA Test this fall. It includes several pics of my dog Dancer and her brother Boogie that I sold. Both passed their tests. They had to find and point birds, retrieve them on land and then do water retrieves.  There also are several pics of my Dancer dog’s 1/2 brothers and 1/2 sisters. All related dogs passed their tests all the way up to Master’s passes. It was a good day.
