To my freind Lloyd
I went hunting yesterday with my two dogs Gurt and Jack .i don t know if you remember me i picked up Jack from you 3 years ago and Gurt last year .
I just want you to know that your dogs are so good they have a exellent temper and very easy to train .
I ve been having so much fun with them and my kids love them.
The only sad part is that i had to cut my vacation short because i got my limit in a short time . I just want to share this with you and thank you for the great quality of setters you produce to hunters .
May God Bless you and your family.
