More: Retta has an impressive pedigree, but has no desire to hunt. We “rescued” her from a local sporting club just before her 1st birthday. Now Retta is training to be a search and rescue dog. But now, her favorite thing to search out is our couch!! She is happy being a family dog who spends summer chasing birds off sandbars in the Intercoastal Waterway and Spring /Fall hiking in the NC mountains!
