Yesterday I made the trip to Green Ranch in Everett PA and met up with Jeff Green.  Emma is now 4 weeks away from giving birth to some of the finest hunting dogs on the planet.  She proved this again yesterday when Jeff and I took her out on his game farm.  Emma’s points were picturesque as usual.  There is nothing like watching the excitement in a dog working a scent followed by a rock solid point, and being steady to flush and shot.  Emma was bred to Aragorn vom Grimm Haus from western PA.  Emma is a close working dog which I prefer to long ranging ultra hyper dogs.  She ran perfectly for Jeff and I on our short walk, possibly since she’s finally showing a dip in her belly.  After a poor showing last month on my behalf I decided to hang up the Beretta 686 28 ga. and pull out the Ruger Red Label 12 ga and put some birds in the game bag.  After knocking the rusts off(aka missing the first shot) I ended up 7 for 6 on birds.

It was a great time for everyone involved.  I believe it’s so important to have a great relationship with the breeder you choose to get your puppy from.  Jeff and I have known each other for several years since he had Django for training.  I knew my next puppy would come from his kennel and have always recommended him as a breeder and trainer to friends and family.  He truly loves his dogs, and this breed.

 

I hope you enjoy the pictures from the hunt as much as we had taking them!
