Kaylee was our first German Longhair and will always
be our favorite. She is that once in a lifetime dog that
everyone dreams about which is why we named our kennel after
her. Kaylee is the smallest and fastest of
our longhairs. She flies through the field and always hunts
her heart out.
When Kaylee took her HZP test, she received
the highest score ever recorded by a German Longhair in America.
She was also one of the highest scoring of any breed
in the HZP that year. The German
judges at her test called her the "best longhair in
America". At the first-ever Deutsch Langhaar Zuchschau
(breed show) in America, Kaylee won first place out of the females
and received a silver medal overall (the gold medal went to her
brother). So Kaylee also has excellent conformation and looks
:-)
Kaylee is an incredibly talented gundog, but what
really sets her apart is her disposition. Kaylee is the
calmest, sweetest dog I have ever seen. She has been the
calmest dog at every test and training day we have ever
attended. She is also very
cooperative and very easy to train. When we started training
Kaylee for advanced tests, we only spent 2 days with her on a check cord
before she was completely steady to wing, shot, and
fall.
Kaylee's favorite thing in the world is duck
hunting. Although she can sit quietly in a duck blind for
hours, the moment she hits the water for a retrieve, she lets out
whimpers of anticipation. As she closes in on the duck, she bays
in excitement until the duck is safely secured in her mouth. Kaylee has also been hunted on
ruffed grouse, woodcock, and pheasants in Wisconsin, and pheasants, quail,
prairie chickens, and sharptail grouse in Nebraska. |
