Herb

"Herbie" as he is known by those who hunt over him is a tremendously classy hunter. He is incredibly bird savvy and works well within range, holding points confidently while we plan our approach, pick shooting lanes, and flush our birds. He is four years old now, and has approximately (at last count) one thousand birds to his credit. Herbie has been raised and trained over both pen raised and wild birds which include Hungarian Partridge, Chukar Partridge, Bobwhite Quail, Ringneck Pheasant, Ruffed Grouse, Spruce Grouse, and Woodcock. He has hunted every season, day in, day out, with a committed and professional mind and heart. He has figured out the intricacies of wild birds, and enjoys his job.

Herbie has recently recovered from a very in depth medical procedure as a result of being diagnosed with Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy. This is a disease that is directly related to his auto-immune system, and resulted in the removal of all of his nails through one surgical procedure. He has done a tremendous job of recovering from this somewhat baffling condition, and we look forward to a fantastic season as he continues to recover and re-grow his nails. We're helping him along with vitamin supplements, antibiotics and natural food additives. With an ever watchful eye, consistent medicinal treatment, and lots of birds (as usual) Herbie will be roaring to go come October 1st, his favorite day.
