She was 3.5 yrs old, very loving, great with other animals, loved to swim, chase bears and flush grouse. We are going to miss her.
Hunter Dog, that sucks. Sorry to hear. I'm just reading this old thread and saw your post. Usually people start a new thread when they lose a dog because everyone knows how much it sucks.
