Winterhelle's Cartouche

Cartouche was our second "versatile hunting dog". She was purchased at 8 weeks of age from well known Puldelpointer breeder and promoter "Bodo" Winterhelt. Cartouche was an extraordinary fast learner with solid instincts. By the time she was 16 months old she was already pointing upland game as solid as a rock and she never lost a bird on a retrieve. She had passed all NAVDA Natural Ability Tests with flying colours. Sort of too good to be true. At 18 months of age she had to be euthanized for major hip dysplasia. In the period of one month she went from a symptom free dog to a cripple. One can only wonder where her potential could have taken her.
