Kate is the most laid back dog I have ever had..she has a super soft personality.. have to be really careful with her as to training or handling.. she gets along with anyone or anything.. we have a cat that stays in the garage or outside in the summer..in the winter she comes in when it gets really cold and stays in the same area as Kate.. the cat sleeps on top of Kate..

I do however always pet Kate first and give me my attention when I first come home.. I went elk hunting Sunday morning helping some friends get a few tags filled.. took Kate along.. had her stay in my truck when I hiked..had her with me if I was posting the end of a draw while a drive was being made.. she loves to be outside..

One final item about Kate..she is now 10.. I hunt pheasants with her every year.. I have never lost a bird since I starting huntning with her.. she always finds them..always.. doesn't matter if they fall in 6 foot cattails or 1/4 mile away in a brush filled river ... have never had a dog with a 100% record before.. she actually went on point one morning while retrieving a rooster I had just shot and in her mouth..how in the hell did that happen??

Sorry, going on a rant about Kate.. but she really is a good dog and member of our family..goes with us everywhere.. up town, road trips, vacations, camping.. always with... IS protective of the kids.. which is way cool...
