Delta is a spirited, athletic, and intelligent girl with a personality all her own. She is the leader of our pack, full of energy, and capable of impressive athletic feats catching balls midair! In the field, she is a proven dove/duck dog who responds well to directional and vocal cues and loves retrieving birds. At home, she is just as happy lounging beside her people or curling up in a lap. And when her internal clock says it is time to play or eat, she makes sure to remind us!
Delta combines natural hunting ability with a loving, engaging personality. Her previous puppies have even been featured in BSS Magazine. Her sire was the famous NHRC Just SGa Doc Holiday!
