William, We spoke some time back about Rhine (Atze);
I took your advice and purchased that dog from a pointer
trainer in R.I. I am so glad that I did! He is a
wonderful loving companion and an absolutely stellar
hunting dog. I have had him now for about one month. I
have 2 other dogs, a male Flat coat retriever and a
small female mixed lapdog. He adjusted to my family
situation very nicely. I am very impressed with his
disposition and manners around the other dogs. In the
field, we have set up several challenges for him and he
has accomplished every task with very little margin of
error. During this first month he has shown me that his
natural abilities are beyond my wildest expectations. He
has had some serious training in pointing and obedience,
other than that I figured we were working with a blank
page. So I set up a blood track coarse for him, you know
over the river and through the woods to find a deer head
and cape, he was on the scent trail before I even let
him out of the truck. I was amazed that when he found
the deer he was very calm and collected about it, it was
like he knew that he had done good. Another day we went
on a duck hunt, I couldn’t keep him out of the water! He
retrieved all the ducks and the decoys!!! We will be
working on the decoys a bit but the neatest thing was
his drive to find the downed birds in the water! Upland,
he is a master of search to point to retrieve! We were
dove hunting just yesterday and I was shooting birds
over a standing cornfield. So the birds were very
difficult to find, he never blanked at all and in fact
he was continuing to search after I had put my gun away.
He is tough as nails! The corn stalks were very hard and
abrasive on his face and by the end of the day he was
badly scratched and a lot of hair was rubbed away from
around his eyes, HE DIDN’T CARE AT ALL! HE ONLY WANTED
TO FIND MORE BIRDS! It was phenomenal! Thank you for
breeding such a wonder of a hunting dog! Next I will be
exposing him to pheasants and quail. I am sure he’ll do
great! I just wanted to let you know that my dogs in the
field, working his ass off, LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

William, Short note to update you on Roscoe. He’s 52 lbs., doing well on table work, just started forced retrieve training, We swim in the pond daily. Got into a grouse the other day, bird busted about twenty yards away. Great companion, follows me from room to room, then sits at my feet. Only chewed up one slipper so far! See photo......

Hi William, Roscoe is rapidly progressing with his training, we have been doing bird work for the past month, and I have introduced .22 gunfire this past week. He is very birdy and has an excellent nose. Some of his points are 15 to 20 ft. from the birds. Attached is a pic of him pointing, with the quail in the pic. We have worked some grouse on the property and he has pointed two so far. He is 72 lbs. now and I think he will probably top off at 75 lbs. Hope all is well with you, will talk soon......

I just wanted to let you know how well the puppies from the "B"
Litter are doing. I have been fortunate to have three buyers
from this litter live within an hour's drive of me. These
fellows have been coming to my Club, to train with me throughout
the year. One other gentleman drove up from Maryland to train
with me this summer as well. I have been continually impressed
with the natural ability and drive of these puppies. They are
showing strength in all aspects of "Versatility". The puppies
are searching, finding and pointing birds, tracking blood trails
(two have completed actual tracks) and they are tremendous in
the water. All of the puppies have nice coats, pretty eyes and
good bites - they look fantastic. The owner's are extremely
pleased and I am just as enthusiastic about their turnout. It
looks like these guys are hooked on training and hunting with
dogs! I am certain that at least three of these four puppies
will be tested in 2009, through the VJP and the HZP. I have
also heard some interest from them about joining NAVHDA as
well.
As for now, I have just been getting reports via email and phone
calls that the puppies are doing great! Their first hunting
season is proving to be a promising future for some great Gun
Dogs. This summer they were training, and now they are:
Finding birds, retrieving on land and out of water, and finding
arrowed deer. I am absolutely thrilled with their continued
progress and train ability.
Keep up the good work William, and thank you for giving my Stud
Dog Duke an opportunity to produce a great litter of Verin
Deutsch Drahthaar.
Sincerely,
Donny Zarra
