Frank,
  Thanks for your video, I have always liked that dog,but after seeing the total package
I'm really impressed. I just got home from a NSTRA trial in Kansas,Gator could certainly
compete. However none of our dogs could retrieve with him.Great dog work, great training.
...(referring to breeding) I'm looking for a show stopper, Gator is a show stopper.

All the guys commented on what a pleasure it was to hunt (at Ric's) over Gator, we will
definitely request you guys again.

Frank,

I have a dog out of Veraspoof and Gator from Jim Springer, and may I say it is outstanding.
He is 11 months old right now. We were at a hunting preserve Sunday morning and he pointed
5 birds. He also retrieved every bird shot, just a natural to him. Just want to give a great
thanks for having such a great dog.

Frank,
 Everything down here has been great with Drake and I, he is everything I have wanted in a
dog and then some. This duck season was short but outstanding with him up on front of boat.
It took him a little bit to figure out his butt needed to sit and chill, but once he got
that boy what an animal. This last weekend we went bird hunting and boy did he wow me
there also, after all of duck season and working on the casting and no whoa.
Once he figured it out that he could run and have some fun he went 4 for 4 on point WOW!!!!!
He broke on the first one after it was running then in air, but after that stayed forever 
and looked outstanding. Thanks Paco

Frank,
Thanks for all the help with my dogs. Your help is more appreciated than you know.
These dogs certainly take us on some kind of journeys and I am glad to be a part of
that. Without you I would never have gotten ZZ , or met Dale. 
Whenever I feel like I am spinning my wheels with my dogs, a phone call to you seems
to put everything in perspective, and seems to get me back on track.  Oh the 
adventures the future hold for us all. 
 
Thanks,
Catherine and the dogs

Hi Frank,
The Gator/Nena pup my son has named Elvis is really doing good. His puppy tail has
completely straightened out except for a small curve at the tip. He holds it this 
way when he points.  He has developed long legs,runs like the wind and has the hour
glass figure you like and looks really good.  He is very intelligent and already 
sits,heals,comes,points and retrieves. He looks exactly like photos of Gator when he
points,with head and tail up. He is definitely Alpha and holds his own with Star and
Ranger. He has the on-off switch and is a true family friendly dog that has bonded with dad.
We all love him and could never let him go. 
Call anytime if you want to talk.

Take care,
Doc
