Hello Eric and Mardelle

I thought you might be interested in seeing the attached pictures of two of my puppies from The Patriot X Blackstairs Cindy. These pictures were taken recently in Scotland where we did a grouse count for one of the keepers on the Beccleuch Estate in the Scottish Borders. We named the lemon and white dog Blackstairs Duke. This dog had seven finds on pheasant in the space of fifteen minutes. I was really thrilled with him as this was his first time on game. I then ran him on heather on the mountain and he had four finds on grouse in very heavy cover in the space of ten minutes. He had numerous finds after that for the remainder of our trip - a real bird finder. A very intense and stylish dog on game. The bitch in the attached pictures is Blackstairs Sioux. This was also her first time being introduced to game. She had numerous finds on grouse also and is a very fast and wide running bitch. I also had another puppy with me on the trip - Blackstairs Jessie - who is a tri color dog. This puppy is also very promising and stylish and had a number of finds on grouse. Unfortunately I do not have a picture for you of this dog. I will send you some further pictures of all the puppies from our next trip to Scotland which will be in July.

My friend, Kieran Walsh, also has two dogs and one bitch from the litter who are very promising. Kieran is very happy with them also. Another friend of mine, Eamon O'Grady, has a bitch who is very promising.
