[Sprig Kennels]

It is with deep sadness of his loss that i report that i lost my old dog sprig this week. he passed away at 16 1/2 years old. he was an amazing animal and most likely one of the oldest living master hunter retrievers in the country. he was more than a gun dog as my whole dog training business was built around him and the desire i had to train dogs as a pro came from the success I had with him. he would hunt waterfowl one day, chuckars the next. he was a superb grouse hunter but was most known for his legendary skills at hunting pheasants. he was certainly one in a million for more reasons than just hunting however. i wrote a short story about him on my website http://www.sprigkennels.net/sprig/

thanks

thanks...he was an amazing animal. the cool thing is his last hunt a few years ago was on the waterfowl opener and we shot 11 geese for him. that is one of the pics i have on his story page.
