Bentley and I are doing great. He is the spitting image of his father (Storm and BoBo pup 10-22-04). Bentley will pick up his last leg of his Junior Hunt Test this spring and maybe go straight to Senior Hunt Test. His marking is incredible and his work ethic is amazing yet tiresome.

We bought a red lab from you and named him Charlie (Nick and Sandi pup (09/22/05). He has been a great dog. We are amazed at how calm he is. He gets along with my mom's daycare kids. He is also great with the other dogs. I think he is going to be a great hunting dog, he already retrieves. He also has an excellent nose when smelling our things. We just want to say how thankful we are for this amazing dog.

Just wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Gunner (our British lab we bought from you in 2000). He is a wonderful dog, has a great personality, loves to hunt, and has no medical problems. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful companion. When we are ready for another, we will differently be calling. Thank you again.

Hello and how are you ,
            The boys get along very well and spend a good deal of their time playing and
running each other down. I was concerned that Reilly , the pup that I got
from you would be at a disadvantage because of their difference in size ,
but he has proven that attitude can prevail . Reilly is an affectionate pup
with a huge heart and desire to have fun whatever we are doing. They have
traveled all over the U.S. and Canada and charm people wherever we go. While
we were in Wyoming in July , Reilly jumped and caught a killdeer that was a
little slow to take flight and made his first kill. I was very surprised ,
but Reilly has proven to have a intense desire to hunt and track anything
with a scent. I am working on their basic training every day and they are
coming along very well. I hope to get them into the field next month for
some workouts with a friend that has some trained dogs so they can get a
feel for pheasant hunting .
Take Care ,

I've been working with Tate (BoBo and Spud litter whelped 4/23/06) everyday and he is doing very well but he floored me last night. I've been working him on live pigeons, his commands both voice and whistle, and swimming in a small hallow creek(doing very well with his training I might add). I took him to the neighborhood pond, allowed Tate to enter at his own leisure as the pond is deep and does not trasition well. He would go in and swim a few feet and turn around and get out. My daughter and I were sitting next to the pond and a hen mallard landed in the middle of the pond and was quaking, this grabbed my dog's eye. He came up to me and sat in between my legs and would not take his eyes off the duck so I took his lead off and held his chest and asked him if he wanted to get her. He got more intense and his heart was pounding so I called his name and released him. He went right into the water and swam 30-40 yds to the duck, she actually let him get within a foot or two of her ( probably had babies in the area and was attempting to distract him from them) and she flew off fast and low. He continued swimming after her until I gave him a recall whistle. He turned on a dime and swam in a straight line back to me. He must have swum 60-80 yds. total. He has never swum in big water before and I did not know that he was as capable as he was. It was awesome. He's a great dog and I would highly recommend Diamond J.  to anyone. Love the dog!!! He is birdie, athletic, and full of vinegar. Additionally, he is eager to please and learn.

Rick ( Rick McConico, Pro Trainer) and you could not have picked a better dog to fit my wants and needs.

Thanks, Wen Gartman
