Sadie - (GCH** Irish's Master Jake x Irish's No Backin' Down).  She is 6 months old.  Owned by Mark & Meredithe Hyjek. 

The second photo is Sadies second day hunting doves.  Her owner Mark says - "This dog I believe is smarter than I am so far and that worries me!
She is still a puppy and it is hard to make her sit for a long time. More than like 10 -15 mins. That is. Then she will meander, eat grass, smell old feathers and when she hears a bird she is looking up at it waiting for a shot. Even if it is 100 yards off. Then no shot and she will look at me as if to say “what’s a matter with that one!” I like watching her more than shooting!"

Sadie, on her first dove hunt in Tennessee. This photo is of her first retrieve. She retrieved 20 birds that day. There was also a year and a half old Lab there, but he didn't bring any of the birds back.

Molly - (CH Irish's Gallant Sailor x GCH** Irish's She's The One). Molly is owned by Dean Durik.
