Marias

The most people-focused pup in the litter — she follows Hannah's boots around the yard and turns to a voice before any of her siblings. Weeks 5–6: a watcher first and a doer second — sits at the edge of the scrum, then does the thing better than the others. Week 7 evaluation: 4 of 5 retrieves, carried the wing with a soft mouth, recovered from the opening umbrella at once, and turned to a voice faster than any of her siblings. Our read: soft, biddable, an ideal first hunting dog in a family that will train. Reserved.
