John's comments:

• Started on track in my puppy pen at 8 weeks old - the earliest of any dog I've had.
• Extremely fast, even for a Patch.  My fastest dog for sure.  She thinks she is running to catch the rabbit; in fact she's done it four times (cottontails) in three hunting seasons so far.
• Almost always the leader of the pack.
• Squeaky chop mouth.
• Still seems to be improving - nearly every time I take her out I see something new.  She's a pleasure to hunt with, never goes after anything but rabbits.
• I'm really looking forward to seeing Blanche's pups, as I think they'll be a big step forward in my breeding program.
