Pour toi mon p'tit Ranger chien de chasse bécassier grouse dog

He is born on Saturday April 16, 2005,
at Élevage des Perséides belonging to
Mrs Line Tremblay and late Mr. Gary Thompson.

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.
