They are also both natural pointers and it was our hope that Glacier would carry the pointing trait, but as of yet I have not seen him point. His soft personality has made him a joy to train and you can see his intense desire to please in every session you work with him. Glacier is a strong marker, loves water, and has a willingness to work hard to please the hunter and produce birds. He also has two seasons of hunting under his belt and gets better each time he sits in the blind. Glacier has had limited upland work, but shows great promise as he quarters nicely and has a good natural range.
Glacier is also housebroken and good around young kids and other dogs.
The reason that we are selling Glacier is that we were looking for Glacier to be a stud dog and he fell short of our standards in two areas. First, he is a very slim dog and does not have a great head. In other words his conformation is not that of a classic lab. We will continue to look.
