I just wanted to write to you to tell you how pleased I am with the results you achieved with my Chocolate Lab, Hunter.

As you may recall, Hunter was a little skiddish when he arrived at Stonehearth. Your efforts and those of your staff have resulted in a gun dog that is confident and obedient. I'm amazed at how well he has retained all the skills you instilled in the short time he was with you. Handling him is a delight. I'm still amazed that this dog can and will follow all the hand and whistle and verbal signals I give him.

On top of the skill is the desire that you somehow engrained into him. Hunter started out with what I estimated to be a low level of desire, but now this dog senses when it is time to hunt and you can see the excitement in him every time I take him out. I think he enjoys the quartering more than retrieving. I am so glad you worked him on quartering skills. He really loves getting on birds. Being that I am in South Georgia, upland birds are about all I'm going to get until we move further north.

The time, money and distance have all been worth it. Hunter loves the sport and it is truly a joy to take him out into the field. Thanks again for all you've done.
