W e picked up the dog.

Yes.

Is this your first pointing dog? If it is, is it what you expected? If not your first pointing dog, how does he/she compare to other experiences and dogs you have had?
No, great for only a couple hunts. She was young for most of the first season so I only took her 4-5 times late in the season. She was better that other breeds at paying attention to where I was and what I was doing.

One of the things we try to do is to match up our dogs/puppies with the person we feel best suits them. What is your situation as far as being a breeder, do you have a kennel of dogs, is your dog a family dog? How do you feel about your match up? Has your dog fit into your environment and situation? Any other comments?
Maggie is a family/house dog and is our only dog. We had hoped to let her run in the fenced yard while we are at work, but she chews on everything so we had to get a run. We are still optimistic she will out grow this. She loves to be with/around people.

We spend a lot of time with our puppies/dogs and try to get to know them so we can relay that information to you as the new owner. Were we “right on” with our evaluation of your puppy/dog and what might be his/her strengths or weaknesses, or were we “way out to lunch” regarding your pup/dog? Please give us details.
Strengths - likes people, easy to train

Weaknesses - digger & chewer

You gave us pick of the litter, but we had a difficult time choosing.
