Rothievale Gundogs
Sage - FTAW Countryways Sage of Rothievale
Sage is Speckle's daughter from the first litter we bred from her. And what a contrast in personalities! From the start Sage was a show off, very exhuberant with alot of natural hunting ability, drive and style. An exciting dog to watch she always had me on her toes, even at 7 years old! I am told she is very much like her grandmother, FTW Robinsmoor Cherry of Edgecombe.
In some ways Sage was easy to train due to her brains and hard nature you could not upset her, she thrived on work and was a doddle to teach to handle. An excellent water dog the more difficult the retrieve the better! She is however a handful, always on the edge and she has taught me alot, mostly always to be alert!
Her best attributes are her low to the ground hunting style and drive, making her exciting to watch in both heavy cover or white grass, with or without scent! A long bodied, strong stamp of a bitch I only wish I had her as a puppy now. Alas we managed 2nds 3rd and 4th in Novice trials but never the elusive win. She has been a good producer with a FTCh, 3 Field Trial Winners and 2 Working test award winners in 2 litters, only 6 pups went to trialling homes. Sage is now retired and living on a croft with a friend living a life of riley!
