I got a quite wonderful puppy application from Joe from a few towns over.  I'm really quite pleased.  He was quite thorough in answering my concerns, and is really thinking and planning for his next hunting dog.  Joe came over to meet Dove, Brutus and Portia with his father. 

I don't know if he'll buy a pup from me, but I hope to keep in touch with him.  I'm quite certain he will find a good hunting dog because he's going about his search very well.  I would be happy to sell him a pup, and I'd be happy to count him among my friends with my pup or any other at his side.

I spend so much time bitching and whining about the losers, but I do get good folks who get in touch with me and I'm going to attempt to mention some of the good folks I meet.
