Gabriel is my best buddy. He is so loving and happy.
He loves to retrieve and swim. He is fast on his feet and is very athletic.
Gabe is one of Rosie's puppies and that makes him extra special. 
If Gabe and I had our way, Gabe would go everywhere with me.


Gabe and I train every year for upland hunting. We train with a fun group of people and dogs. 2014 we will be out in the field again and having fun.

2018 update - Gabe remains busy at the farm. We no longer train for hunting but he remains my best buddy. His daughter, Tiki, is now my upland dog. 

Here we are in 2020 and Gabe is 15 years young! He remains a busy fellow!
He continues to love to run and chase. He loves retrieving. He is a little slower but he continues to give it everything that he has and I don't think that he knows that he is any slower. We so love him! 
His main job is monitoring my whereabouts. A better buddy I could not have.
