Updates on how these pups are developing...
Since my goal is to produce puppies that equal or surpass the talents of their sire and dam, I'm keeping track of how the pups in Joy's first litter are doing. Several went to hunt test homes who also do waterfowl and upland hunting, and a couple went to non-competitive upland hunters.
As of 8 months of age, all show remarkable noses in the field, are excelling at marking, and many are pointing staunchly and have started working on advanced handling skills.

Many thanks to the owners for keeping me apprised of how their Joy Luck pups are doing!

How they're doing with retrieving...
"Martine has a heck of a nose. I have been hunting/training on a regular basis. What a good dog! She is 'hell' on crippled chukar. Some retrieves have been close to a hundred yards in rugged rocky steep terrain. Besides all that she has great attributes and pleasant to have around. My grandchildren love her, me too."
