I'm from the midwest and own two ESS. They both show and train in obedience, agility, rally, and Jrs/conformation. We also do a little hunt training and we're starting to get into tracking.

Buzz: B/W 8 year old ESS from a BYB

And I show/train a labby for some family friends...

Welcome to Chaz!!
Beautiful dogs! Do you hunt often? Upland and waterfowl is awsome over in the midwest. My SO is from Nebraska.

Hello Neighbor! I use to love it when the springer came in for grooming. He looked just like a little boy on his first day of school after his trim.

16 years on the lab is amazing. I hope i have my Mary that long.Your dogs are magnificant, Look forward to your posts and pics.

Hi your dogs gorgeous. Never had a springer but had a beagle/springer spaniel mix named ben .He's gone now but your dog reminds me Of Ben's daddy Buddy.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

And thanks for the compliments on the dogs! I've been meaning to get new pix of Cassie for a LONG time now... but haven't had the chance... so I only have a few decent one's of her but I'll share more pix soon!

They are the best! Couldn't ask for more from any of them!

I haven't hunted ever but my brother used to take Buzz hunting...

I'd like to try out AKC hunt tests at some point with Bailey (Buzz, off our land, with no fences... scary!) but... I'd like to try a lot of things! Time and $$ are my limits!
