Top quality liver roan female (spayed) that is ready for the fall 2025 season!
Aspen is a superbly bred girl whose temperament and quality reflect her pedigree. Shes been well loved, meticulously maintained/vetted and a ton of development opportunities. You couldnt make her for the price shes available for!
Aspen was field trialed as a juvenile with 10 placements - she had a very promising juvenile field trial career. She also was shown and has 7 points to her CH. She was sent with a professional to get broke and fell right into poor timing with covid so was never picked back up as a broke dog. She got her JH title as well during the period of time that trials werent really happening due to shutdowns.
We transitioned her to a hunting dog and raised two litters from her so she is fully health tested. She has PennHip as well as OFA for Hips (Good), elbows, heart, patella and eyes are normal as well. Shes been vetted with annual bloodwork, fecal, and urinalysis and kept on HeartGard/NexGard. She will be spayed with pre-operative bloodwork on 9/9/25. Shes, of course, UTD on all vaccinations.
She went back with a pro trainer here the past few months for a tune up and is ready to go this fall! She has a great nose, is forward working typically at 50-70 yards but she will adjust to terrain as well as horseback/foot handling. She can get 100+ easily on horseback. She handles kindly and will shorten up in bird fields if you preserve hunt or in thick cover. Aspen handles on foot, ATV, or horseback. Shes not afraid to bust brush - she will dig in no matter the cover. Shes steady to flush but can get a little sloppy and may need a reminder. She has been on quail and chukar as well as pheasant, sharptail, and woodcock. She isnt one to bump or knock birds but she can occasionally get little unsteady if the bird is moving. She does have a natural retrieve as well but since she was started as a field trial dog this skill is new - she does a great job locating the down bird and bringing it back but still a teeny possessive to bring to hand. She will get it within a few steps and loves to carry them. She just needs more experience to hand and we havent been making a big deal of it with her right now since shes getting them and getting them close to us.
Shes has an incredible personality and is a very sweet, affectionate dog. Shes great with kids and no issues with other dogs. Crate trained and a very easy traveling dog even cross country. She is mostly housebroken but likely needs a little refresher on house manners. Lower energy in the home, quiet and easy! Shes family friendly and the type dog who will go boating with you (she LOVES water), hiking, camping or just relaxing at home.
We are happy to share plenty of photos, video, and tons more information on her - health, training, and hunting! Shes truly a wonderful dog that someone can have a ton of fun with! Shes totally the dog who can go hunt with you, be a truck buddy, and snuggle up on the couch!
