Faithe was the only survivor in a litter of five puppies - it appears that her mom got an infection of some kind  - hence Faithe! Faithe is Bruce's favorite personal gun dog - she does it all. She has only had "on the job" training, but has a great nose, staunch point and fairly decent retrieve. She earned her VC on August 1, 2009 with almost no training because she is such a natural (well, we had to do just a little of that obedience work, but she loves working - and caught on really quickly)!   She was never bred because she did not pass her hip clearance. She is such a wonderful addition to our family,  and we are so happy to have her!! Whenever we need a dog to do a public "Meet and Greet" or a therapy dog, Faithe is the go to girl! she is a fabulous breed ambassador.
