Arwen is a wonderful competitor and started off by passing the Canine Good Citizen test at 10 months of age, then began running hunt tests and added obedience and Rally competition.

She is also an awesome producer. Watch for her kids and grand kids in all the various venues!

Check out Arwen earning her first Upland Hunter pass at the Central Rockies Hunting Retriever Club test.

Still dove hunting at 10-1/2 years old

Dove hunting at 10-1/2 years old. She’s still an awesome hunting partner!

In the off-season she shows her hunting prowess – hunting rats! It’s fitting that she earned her 12th title at 12 years old, a Barnhunt RATN.

The next time I meet you will be at Heaven’s door
You’ll be there to meet me and I will cry no more.
I’ll put my arms around you and kiss your lovely face
and then this broken heart of mine will fall back into place.

Mon coeur, mon bijou
