. Hawkeyes Westfork BB.. AKA "Belle".  We purchased Belle as a mature female. While this dog could do it all I constantly found myself saying No Belle No Belle. This is where the name Nobelle comes from.  Belle was a great dog once we got her to come around.  She was a staunch pointing dog an excellent grouse and woodcock dogThat  Once in a Lifetime dog, how often have we heard  

 Nobelles Double Trouble Dott..AKA Dotty
 That  Once in a Lifetime dog, how often have we heard that expression.  After losing Nobelles Double Trouble Dott I started to think how much Dotty was truly that once in a lifetime dog, to me that is. But what made her that dog was not only what she accomplished in the field doing what she was bred to do but more importantly how she impacted our lives just being Dotty.  Dotty was born and raised in my home.  Her mothers Hawkeyes Westfork BB.  Some 20 years ago I purchased her mother from Clyde and Marilynn Vetter, two of the nicest people one would hope to meet.  A few years later we bred to “Shooter”. Like Cher you only need to know one name to know who this fine dog was. 

 Nobelles Jenny 

​I think the only thing Jenny loved more than hunting was being with my two children. She was extremely cooperative, intelligent and biddable. Her easy going nature made her a pleasure to be with in the home . In the field Jenny was a pleasure to hunt behind. Jenny excelled in both the field and in the water.
