More: I rescued Boone when he was 6 months old. He had no obedience, no training, didn't even know his name. He had been locked in a crate 10 hours a day. Once he came to live on our farm with my other 4 pointers, he picked up quick all the basics, loves life, and is very birdie! He is one of the most affectionate, energetic dogs, and loves hunting birds.
