Angel was named after her great grandma Grace (my foundation female that passed away 2 weeks shy of her 15th birthday in February 2022). Angel had many traits that reminded me of Grace, but also had even more that took after her dad Phoenix. Little did I know at the time, but this was our very last litter from Phoenix. Angel was and continues to be a daily reminder of how precious of a gift she is.

 

 Angel has grown into an absolutely gorgeous, big powerful female. She has the ultimate personality with a huge desire to please. Angel is so similar to how Phoenix was. In the field she is a true team player, a very quick learner and fabulous marker. Angel absolutely loves to work, but is not the kind of dog that needs to every day. She has a strong natural on/off to her. She is so chill in the house. Angel has many of her dad’s silly traits too! She does sneaky drive by gentle kisses. She also does what I called the “itchy butt dance” that Phoenix would do while swirling between my legs. She literally makes me laugh all the time. Angel was a very quick maturing dog and what I call a gentle soul. Because of how sweet and gentle she was with little puppies even at an early age, Angel quickly became one of my “puppy socializers.” This is a very special role that is only given to my most trusted dogs. My canine puppy socializers are part of our puppy development program. This is something that is completely unique to Bird Dog Labs.
