More: Professionally gun broke and trained to hunt pheasant at the age of 8, the trainer said in all the years he’s been working in this industry, she was by far the oldest most successfully trained dog he has taken on. She’s a true companion, is said to “smile” by those who meet her and even accepted a new puppy into the family 3 years ago, like it was her own. Bella came to us from a farm at 16 weeks; the runt of the litter that no one wanted. We love her to no end and she will be missed terribly some day.
