Alhlive vom Abendlander or Livie came to us from Utah in late 2013. She is an absolute gem of a girl. Just a wonderful dog to be around. My wife has said that she has a home for life and that’s the first dog she’s said that of. Livie is a foot hunters dream, if you are a quail or woodcock hunter, she is the dog for you. She is methodical and thorough in her search, ranging out as terrain permits but is usually not far out of shotgun range. She is a serviceable retriever in the water, doesn’t set the world on fire but knows her business, like in the field she is determined searcher. She amazes me in that should would just assume lay at my feet than run around in the yard, but put game in front of her, particularly fur, and it’s game on. I always ask myself “just how could she have done that better?”.
