Agassiz’s Samantha, a female WPG from Arizona, has been with us this month.  She and Chev were bred this past week and a litter of puppies is likely in late October.  They’ll be whelped in Arizona and available for families around late December.

Samantha is a sweetheart in the house – affectionate, snuggly and good with our three dogs.  She fit right in from the moment she arrived.  She has an N.A. Prize 1 and her Penn hip score is in the top 20%  She loves water and works close when hunting.  She flips into hunting mode the minute we step outside and she’s easy to recall.  Samantha is that great combination of terrific companion at home and avid hunter in the field.

Folks interested in a puppy from this litter can contact Jim Carpenter at jcarpen323@wildblue.net or by phone at 928 213-1642.

Here’s Barley at 9 months.  His people (from New York) recently shared this photo of him.  Biff and I see a lot of Finley in him!

Biff and Xupe took an overnight trip up to Four Brooks, one of the testing grounds for the NAVHDA Natural Ability test, to have a little fun in the water and with birds.  The good thing is that you go right past Oakwood Pheasant Farm on the way there and can pick up chuckers and pheasants.  Call Biff if you’re interested as you’ll need to get a permit to use Four Brooks.  He can provide you the contact information.

Xupe was pooped afterwards!
