Well, I went out to Santa Ynez and met the breeders. They are an older (well maybe not as old as AM or even me) couple and like all owners, love their breed.
Saw their sire and dam and one of last year's (April) pups. We put them out together in a local field of about 100 acres and took a stroll while we talked about the breed. He had a training dummy and the dogs worked it well. The pup hadn't been force fetched and would retrieve and drop it at his feet. Still not bad for a pointer that had not been trained to retrieve. We watched some video of the three dogs hunting a few weeks ago. They looked like they had good range and speed, not big E-pointer horseback stuff, just looked right for a foot hunter and they had great dicipline, even the pup. Although the male looked just like a E-pointer to me but for the docked tail. He was 60lbs of muscle. The female dam was 37 lbs and when not pregnant.
When I get home, I'll see about posting some pics I took today of them.
