     Jeannie O'Connor was a little girl with a big, feisty mare that behaved very badly on occasion. She came to me because she had heard that I could retrain her mare, but more importantly, that I would be kind in doing so. That defines Jeannie ! That was many years ago and the beginning of a lifelong friendship. The mare turned out to be a real lady - and little Jeannie grew up to be a real lady too. Ms O'Connor has many years of experience in the breeding and training of dogs. She is honest, very capable and, above all, she is kind to her "critters". I can recommend her highly and without reservation.

 A sad footnote:  My dear friend passed away 11/10/14 at the age of 95. We stayed in touch over the years and always talked "dog" and "horse".  He was a wonderful man and I adored him. 

JULIE AND FINN

Dear Jean
I don't know how many notes you get from people who have bought a puppy from you.  It has been 4 years since I did.  Finn is the best dog I have ever had.  He is the dog of my heart.  We are not hunters but I knew I wanted the smarts of a hunt dog.  It turns out Finn loves to dock jump.  Our very first competition was this past weekend and he won a Senior AKC dog diving title.  Best jump was 17' 11" and he loved every moment of it.  But more important than titles, he truly is the best dog I have ever had:  smart, loving, athletic and loyal. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, he never left my side through all my treatments.  Thank you for what you do.  Thank you for being a responsible breeder who loves dogs. 
Thank you for the dog of my heart.
Sincerely,  Julie McGarry
