He is my first pointing dog, primarily for hunting, but as an everyday's
companion. He started his hunting
career on September 19, 1998 at the age of 7 months and a few days.
I'll always remember that during its
first hunting outing, in the first half hour, it found two ruffed
grouses.

and received the following prizes:
best puppie of the breed (once), best of breed (4 times) and reserve

All presentations took place at the Place Bonaventure in Montreal
and Parc Equestre of Blainville
where it got hes CKC conformation CHAMPION title.
He passed his three FDJ (field dog junior) tests of the Canadian
