Duchess
comes from a rarer breed variation called "pointing labs." Since
the pointing gene is recessive, the numbers of these dogs are still pretty
small (although growing yearly). Although she hasn't been field trained
yet, she shows some remarkable skill (she already takes hand signals from
land and water, and she points without any formal training). I have high
aspirations for Duchess: She will take her canine good citizen next year,
and we're still in obedience. Ultimately, I will try and train her to be a
therapy animal. She's one busy puppy.
Of course, I love Duchess whether she is just sleeping in front of the fire
or avidly in pursuit of a tennis ball. She has the sweetest temperament
and has enriched my life so much. I can't imagine what I would do without her.
