He is my 2nd pointing dog, son of Celtick, like is father
primarily for hunting, but as an everyday's companion.
He started his hunting career on September 21, 2005
at the age of 5 months and 1 week. I'll always remember
that during its first hunting outing, in the first quarter
hour, it found one ruffed grouse.

He has no evidence of hip dysplasia, he is x-rayed
« good » OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals)
the equivalent of A2 by the FCI
(Fédération Cynologique International)

He passed hes three FDJ (field dog junior) tests of the
Canadian Kennel Club with a score of 80% and 76%
in Ste-Croix-de-Lotbinière, and 85%
in Saint-Jean-de-Matha, all three in Quebec.
