I knew this day would come soon but it's always too soon. It's been a few years since I've shot pheasants over her but we had a heck of a fun run together. Rip Maddy

How sad. So sorry to hear. Our dogs really become part of the family and the hurt is so strong when we lose them.
RIP Maddy, take care Ridgerunner!

So Sorry.
Having owned retrieving dogs for some 40+ years, I always expected letting them go would get easier over the years, it does not.
Every one has owned a special place in my heart.
I pray your grief is short and that ya get back on the horse (get a new pup) soon.

Sorry for your loss, bud...
RIP Maddy.
It's almost like she waited for you to get your pup before she passed.
