Still looking for addresses in my in box for where to send supplies see 
private post marked Stuff...

But great to hear from Hunter as well.  Some of you may know Carol and 
Hunter some may not, Hunter is from the Moon litter and is our local "field 
dog" from a real SHOW breeding:  Scarlette to Triple.  Hunter is one of the 
very best examples of a multipurpose dog there is.  Not only can he chew up 
a great Barbie he also flushes ground nesting birds!  This is not an easy 
feat [flushing ground nesting birds that is] since ground nesting birds do 
not have a very heavy sent, part of their defence..

   Chuckers used at hunt tests always bring a worry to the handlers, as not 
only do they not have a very heavy sent they are very small, one gulp and 
they are gone, and that means no leg on your title... Lab people really 
frown when they see the chucker come out.
