"Babe was a truly great hunting dog. It has been estimated by her handlers that she had 20,000 birds shot over her in her career. Although

she never

competed in field trials or ran a hunt test, she was an accomplished hunting dog in the true sense of the term. She won the hearts of many seasoned hunters in her time at the pheasamry. Even today, they still talk about her and her abilities. I did not handle her during that period of her life, but I did hunt over her several times. It was not unusual to shoot 15-20 birds over her in a single afternoon.

She dug into heavy cover, tracked running birds

and retrieved like the pro that she was.
