Teal (update)

Hi Don,

I am very pleased with this girl. She shows a great deal of potential in the field - good nose, lots of drive, and a willingness to work in close. I shot a grouse that she flushed for me on opening day much to her delight and amazement.

We still have lots to work on, of course. Teal is remarkably confident that she knows better and that commands really only amount to suggestions. It's good thing that I've got some experience with this sort of thing because I'll bet that she would run circles around someone new to the game.

By the way, I never did ask you how big you expect her to be when mature. How tall and how heavy are Bella and Storm?

Hope you see lots of birds this season,

Greg
