Bella's first SD Pheasant
Bella at 20 weeks


"Point to Point's Foremost Cabela" aka "Bella"
Bella is out of some great Pointing Labs in Indiana.
Her Sire and Dam are out of the same Kennel. Final
Approach Retrievers. Bella's Sire is "3X GMPR
Ford's Full Bore Diesel MH". and her Dam is
"GMPR Jipsey's Black Magic MH"  Keep an eye for
the World Retriever Series on TV as you may very
well see Diesel. He is one of the best all around
Labrador's in the Country. Bella is a High Drive dog
with a lot of heart and desire. The positive side is
she is very controllable. Bella arrived at my home
after a 4 hour round trip took 18hrs because of an
ice storm that hit the North east. I was meeting
another puppy buyer in PA that also picked up a
Final Approach pup in Indiana and offered to bring
the pup back for me. After a very Long day and
night Bella became part of our family. We started
training at 12 weeks old and she was doing 100yd
marks with ease at 17 weeks old. We made it
through basic obedience without too many problems
but we had a little trouble when we got to Force
Fetch. We worked our way through it and after what
seemed like forever we moved on to more difficult
marks and Live Bird training. When we stopped
training for the time being it was late October and
time to get ready for the long drive out West to meet
the "Final Approach Gang" in South Dakota. After a
great first trip for her we came back east and
focused on Ducks. Bella made her favorite spot the
Motor Well of My Bankes Freedom 17 Duck boat.
She made that her perch and would sit there and
scan the skies for ducks no matter what the weather,
or how many ducks were around. Bella went after
her very first cripple her third time out and her
tenacity was unmatched. She circled every time she
lost site of the Bluebill and continued until it popped
up and she could continue her pursuit. Well the 4th
time the Bill dove so did Bella and they both popped
up with Bella holding the Bill by his tail feathers. I
knew I had a keeper. Please enjoy her pictures and
information on our future plans for her.
"Point to Point's
Foremost Cabela"
aka
"Bella"
Bella has become a big part of my outfitting business. She does just as well in the field as she does
on the duck boats. She chases cripples as good if not better than any dog I have ever hunted with.
Her desire and tenacity is unmatched. She is a joy to hunt over. I love to watch her work.
