Cinder is a homegrown standout who has shattered our highest expectations. Highly biddable and easily controlled, she is a true partner in the field who works entirely for her handler. Cinder possesses an incredibly versatile, adjustable range. While she typically maintains a practical 40-to-70-yard range for tight cover, she can effortlessly stretch out to 200 yards with beautiful, sweeping casts when hunting sharp-tail grouse in wide-open country. 

An exceptional swimmer with an innate love for the water, her duck search training was an absolute breeze. Cinder has a more sensitive, intuitive disposition, requiring very little correction during training. She is incredibly fast to learn; once she understands the expectation, she executes it flawlessly without ever testing her handler. Beyond her masterclass field and show talents, her wonderful temperament makes her a certified therapy dog with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs.
