When I first learned about Millie in Georgia, I knew I would drop anything to drive down from Massachusetts to pick her up myself, and every minute and hour in the car with my new pup was more than worth it. My fiancé and I have wanted a dog since we have been together, but we were never sure which dog would be the right fit. It was after the Springer Spaniel, Bella, that I had grown up with, passed at just 10, that I knew I needed to have another bird dog. I got my start hunting as a young kid with some family friends’ English Setters, and the beauty of watching a pointer hunt has always stuck with me. So when my Bella passed away, I knew that I wanted to make training a pointer a part of my life. When I contacted Pat from Gundogz about finding a rescue dog, he mentioned this GSP named Millie. I was of course interested, but what was really interesting is that Millie was not only destined for a life of bird hunting, but she was also a service dog. This unique bit about Millie was not just interesting but fit perfectly into our lives as my fiancé is a social worker and would be able to bring Millie into the school where she works with students with special needs. After the 30+ hour journey to Georgia and back with my brother and meeting the prettiest pup I’d ever seen, I knew we made the right choice to bring Millie home. Our experience with Pat and Gundogz was exceptional. We not only found a companion but the absolute perfect fit for us and our future. Pat’s care for dogs is testified by the diligence that he puts towards making sure the pups have not only a good life but a life where they are successful and aided to reach their full potential. Today she is a hard worker, learning both the rules of the field and the rules of the house. As the fall quickly approaches Millie will be pointing birds and meeting kids, and taking an important seat by our sides at our wedding.
