RIPSNORTERS DOUBLE DOG DARE
"STELLA"

I finally got my Fin puppy!!!

​

While hanging out with our good friend and mentor, Jeff George at a NAVHDA training weekend we were discussing dogs, as usual, and I told him he should breed his girl Tulip to Fin and I wanted a pup from the litter.  You know what?!  He did!

​

Unfortunately, we were getting ready for another move in 2019 when  the litter was ready to go and I couldn't justify getting a 5th dog at the time, so I had to pass.  Luckily, Jeff liked the litter so much he did a re-breed and I finally flew out to pick up my Fin pup in September 2020.  She has been an absolute joy and everything I wanted/expected her to be.  She is smart, willing, vocal (in a good way), and just the super cute, silly girl I had envisioned.  

​

She is super fun to train and does everything with "flare".  She is always ready to learn something new and attacks everything with enthusiasm.  She has a stylish point and we are excited to finally get her on wild birds after a year of waaaay too much adulting.  I anticipate rock solid points and consistent retrieves to hand as Stella has proven to be one of the most naturally cooperative pups I've ever worked with.  

​

Stella has been DNA tested by Embark and shows FF for her furnishings genes, this means all of her pups should have furnishings.
