From day one, Nix has been a go-getter. He has always been a confident dog with a "look at me" attitude. He likes to prance around with his tail in the air and show off to anyone who might be watching him. Nix passes his bubbly, self-assured personality onto his puppies.
Nix continued his impressive start by running his NAVHDA NA test at five months old and receiving a Prize I perfect score. Even as a puppy, he had the retrieving drive and water love, making him a great versatile dog. He also tracks very naturally, which he throws into his puppies.
Nix loves to work, whether training, sitting in a blind, or hunting a field. He is constantly ready for the next new challenge. We finished his trained retrieve with ease at six months old in preparation for his utility training.
He has incredible prey drive and is an excellent retriever, whether we are on land or at the pond. His incredible drive and get up and go personality combined with his natural retrieving drive make him a great late season duck dog. He has no problem sitting in the blind with icicles on his whiskers waiting for the next retrieve. If a duck goes down, whether its dead or crippled Nix will go out, find it, and retrieve it to hand.
Nix has unbelievable stamina and likes to range between 70 and 100 yards. He doesn’t like to quit, even if its 6 degrees below and we are hunting late season in South Dakota. We will have to take a break to warm up long before Nix is ready to quit.
Even though Nix is a fast, hard charging dog that likes to range he doesn’t run over birds. He has an exceptional nose and will slam his points running full tilt through the field. His nose “knows”. Sometimes we stomp around in front of him looking for the bird and can’t find it, but we’ve learned if Nix says its there, its there. We may have to relocate him on a running bird but with his natural tracking ability he beelines for the running bird and pins it down. He always comes up with his bird!
Nix’s fun loving, vivacious personality always puts a smile on our face. He is definitely a popular dog at all of the outdoor expos, shows and hunting competitions we go to; everyone wants to stop by and say "hi" and love on him.
Nix’s impressive work ethic and eagerness to please make him an enjoyable dog to train and we look forward to finishing his blood tracking training this next year.
