August Dog of Month:

This month we would like to recognize Bella.

Whether she was hunting hard in the field or curled up for a long nap with her favorite person, Bella was a true champion.

She loved kids and loved to hunt, which made her the perfect dog for our chapter's youth pheasant hunts.

Bella always believed her real job was to retrieve every bird, every single time, no matter who shot it. If you ever with her, you know exactly what I mean!

Her favorite days in the field were spent hunting alongside her siblings, Hunter and Luna. They just understood each other in away that only they could.

Bella will be forever loved and deeply missed by her companion, Ed Moss.

Chapter # 728 is pleased to announce that the July Dog of the Month is Carlee!

Carlee is a 9-year-old yellow lab owned by Davie Leight (Chapter #728 Treasurer). She is very dedicated to her master but still loves to be independent in the field. While Carlee works slowly, she is incredibly focused and doesn't mess around when she's on the job. She is a great supplement to a pointing dog, as her pace allows her to flush birds close.

At home, Carlee enjoys her afternoon walks in the woods, sniffing around and seeing what has been out there. She is already looking forward to pheasant hunting again this season.

Please join me in recognizing Carlee as our Dog of the Month.

June Dog of the Month: Lucy.

Lucy is a three year-year-old Hungarian Vizsla who belongs to Chapter Core Member Mike Ashley. She is a true "tale of two dogs". While she is a tornado with incredible endurance and tenacity in the field, she is a complete contrast at home, where she prefers to curl up like a ball and sleep on top of you.

As a Vizsla, Lucy requires at least one hour of vigorous exercise every day. As Mike can attest, the rewards are well worth the work. Lucy has already been out west hunting several times and has many more trips planned for the future.

Lucy is our featured dog this month.

This month we are proud to recognize the late Max, an English Springer Spaniel, and his owner, Chapter Core Member Kevin Gathers.

Max began flushing Pheasants for our chapter's youth hunts back in 2013. At a solid 65 pounds, Max was a true brush-busting machine, though he never met a mud puddle he didn't want to jump into. Whether on land or in the water, he enjoyed hunting and retrieving birds, and he was an excellent house dog as well.

Max made a significant impact on all he hunted with. One youth hunter he worked with in 2013 is now grown and has an English Springer Spaniel of his own.

Max passed away on 9/15/2025. Thank you Max, for all the effort and hard work you gave to the chapter's youth hunts over the years. We miss you. May you rest in peace.
