Beginnings
  From the first day I saw "the little yellow
  pup", she was special. At less than seven 
  weeks of age, she displayed a trembling,
  excited, natural ten second point and was
  retrieving to hand. Joe McKone's accurate
  description was, "She looks like a very good
  pick." At twenty- six months Taffey had
  progressed from a special pup to an
  experienced hunting and test dog with five
  titles plus two Upland Hunt passes and one
  Finished pass in HRC.  This was  with a
  relatively inexperienced owner who had
  never trained a dog to hunt test standards. 
  Each acquired skill and subsequent titles
  were milestones for both of us. Taffey was
 a first time hunt test handler/trainer's
 dream pup.
