Rookie was a breeder's dream come true. Up until 7 weeks of age he was just another puppy in the puppy pile, when all of a sudden he grew enough leg to show his movement on the ground and he was screaming I'm your keeper. Rookie had an impressive headpiece with a soft expression, a lovely neck blend, and a personality to melt your heart. He exemplified the breed standard without being overdone. He was 23 1/4 inches and weighed about 67 pounds. He was the ideal companion dog being laid back in the house, but enjoyed a good day doing field work.

Rookie finished his American Championship with three majors all under breeder judges and then acquired his International Championship. Rookie was tick born disease influenced (as well as me) while living in Texas. He went sterile at an early age and I never pushed doing additional venues with him after that, allowing him to be my heart dog for his full time job. While he passing away at close to eight years old, his daughter Cheddar lived to a few months shy of 16 yrs. old. In limited breeding due to his sterility, he produced dogs of notable temperament who excelled in their chosen venues.
