Bertha is a once in a lifetime dog. She's the rare combination of everything were looking for. From the time she was 3-4 weeks old she's given us her entire focus and attention. In the whelping box her littermates would be playing with each other and Bertha would be sitting by herself looking up at you just wanting your attention. Her desire to please is off the charts.  She has a very sweet personality and loves everyone she meets! Her manners in the house are great and she's rarely not by my side. Weighing in at about 22 lbs, she is a perfect size for inside the house, but has all the drive of a dog triple her size. She loves the water,  has a really soft mouth, and great natural retrieve to hand.  Bertha has a great search and aggressive flush on game. Her drive to retrieve is second to none but she's rock solid steady on her game. It's rare that you find the perfect combination of desire and teamwork in a dog but Bertha has it all.
