I feel remiss for not having
written previously to report how fabulous Skip is and how much my family and I enjoy having him. He has been a wonderful addition to our
family and is an outstanding hunting companion for me, both for pheasant and
in the duck blind. I recently
returned from an annual duck and goose hunting trip down on the John J.

Greetings from Dulce has really acclimated herself to
hunting the briar patches which are plentiful here. She has been doing a
beautiful job of retrieving and hunting down wounded birds. I am sure glad I made that trip out
to Brainerd two years ago and ended up bringing Dulce back to I hope all is well with your family
and wish you all a blessed Christmas. Bill Liber |

Hello Pine
Shadows crew, Just
thought I'd drop you a quick note and picture on my first birthday. My
hunting partner's daughter (Nicole) cleaned her garage the other day and
brought me a gift, my first grouse. I like it a lot and my partner
likes it because it forces me to grab the body and not a head or tail!
I'm enjoying quality time with my partner, he says I'm becoming much more
attentive and following directives better. I can't wait for hunting
season! Enjoy my
photo, Storm |

Hi guys... I went to McCollum’s Hunting
Preserve this last week-end and had a wonderful time hunting pheasants...as
you can see in the photo we had pretty good luck. The weather was kind of
rainy but we had a great time...36 out of 50 birds so that was pretty good
for my first official hunt. I really like to retrieve the
pheasants after they go down - I even take them from Lars’ dog and bring them
back to Ron....that's good right? I will let you know how the Oh yeah, Mom says I really do have an
on and off switch - I go to work with them every day and just lay on my
pillow in the office. Hope to see you
soon. Willy |

The Waxbergs are really
enjoying the raising of Bailey. They are learning to handle Bailey
in the field. They especially like the camaraderie of fun trials and group training sessions. |

2004 ESS National
Field Trials J.P. and Ali
finished the National Amateur and earned a Certificate of Merit. This is a
very special accomplishment for this team of JP and Ali because of the
quality of the dogs and because of what it takes to finish the
National. Ali has so much trust in J.P. and they work well as a
team. Both Atlas
and Fisher competed in the National Open for 2004. These two young
dogs are products of our selective breeding process and will be solid
breeding dogs for us for the next few years. |

Mark, Morgan and Sophie, Hi friends at PINE SHADOWS.
I'm writing to tell you about my first Duck hunt and retrieve on opening day.
My Dad ( Jim Cleary) was very proud of me. I did my first duck retrieves
from the shore, and out of my new duck boat that Dad bought for me. I even
did a double retrieve on two Teal. See my
attached photos. My dad tells me I'm a good dog, and we had a very
nice hunting weekend. See you soon, Abby Cleary |

Hi Mark and Sophie, As I have mentioned in other emails, Ice
is doing great. Last Friday she flushed ten hens and two roosters. I’ll
send some pictures to you this week. I wanted to let you know that Ann and I
would be very happy to be used as a referral for Pine Shadows if you would
like. Your entire operation is A+. Rick Zweig |

When our oldest son, Travis, got back from London we scheduled a pheasant hunt with Tom Thompson at Traxler's Hunting Preserve. It was a snowy day but a great hunt. It is always a pleasure to be able to hunt with my boys. We thank Tom Thompson with setting up the opportunity to hunt at Traxler's. Here is Tom and his son, Blake, with Gus, Cook, and Kedra. |

Stacy Avery and Caliber have had a great year. Caliber developed into a good trial dog in the puppy stakes and a great companion for Stacy. It was very rewarding for Sophie and I to watch the development of Caliber under the direction of Stacy. |

Duke, a black lab, started coming out for training at about 8 weeks
old. Duke would bring his owner out for weekly sessions on land, in
the water, and with real birds. Homework was assigned for Duke, and
Denver Kverstad, his owner, would carry out the assignments. Training
progressed Duke to become a very powerful, stable hunting dog.
