Peter -

My Abby is from your 1997 breeding of Nick with a daughter. Your boy called her Nicole. She was the runt and is still less than 30 lbs. Abby was wonderful hunter -- as good as my Charlie -- and a joy to work with too. I think a campaigner could have won with her. I phoned you a few years ago after she lost her sight suddenly at age 8 to a rare but named retinal syndrome of unknown cause.
