We've decided our next Search and Rescue dog will be a French Spaniel.
The Breeder, Elvage Der'io Grande,
http://www.deriogrande.ca/,
 is
in Pointe-Verdi Canada and has sent photos and videos which
are posted here.
The French Spaniel is an intelligent dog that looks to
please its owner. It responds well to positive treatment and repetitive
lessons. It is a calm loving hunting companion and makes a wonderful
house dog. They are very versatile hunting dogs that will pursue,
point, track and retrieve game on land or water, but as will most of the
pointing breeds, the French Spaniel's true strength is hunting in fields
and forests. They are tough, determined dogs that can adapt to all types
of terrain.
We have 4 females to choose from. Our choice is?
Puppy #3

Female Puppy #3
We took a vacation and went to Canada to pick her up.
We got her at 10 1/2 weeks and named her Élan Chercher (Willful
Searcher). She is definitely a bundle of energy, but is smart and
quick to learn.
Here's a
short video of her training.
Here's another
one of her training around our house.

Élan got hold of something. Her nose and eyes were swollen about twice their normal size.
