There is no substitution for quiet well behaved dogs whether In the blind or around your 95 year old mother. This breeding has been the best I have ever had. I use a couple of studs from Circle B kennel. The studs compliment my females very well. I have females who carry the silver gene. When bred with a charcoal, a black with the silver gene, I get all 4 colors. Very quiet and easy to train. Wonderful pets as well as super great hunting dogs
