Years ago, a good friend came back from a trip to Maine with a bottle of this for me.
Apparently, black fly season there is so notorious that the Gritty MacDuff Brewing Co. needed to memorialize it.
Haven't experienced it, personally. Don't really want to.
Great stout, though.

I've trained with a few standard poodles and can confirm that they are capabile working dogs.
Coincidentally, a woman brouht a poodle pup in to one of our training groups last weekend. We got her retrieving in water for her first time! A great thing to see.

Jon only needed one more qualifying test to achieve his AKC JH hunt title. When I saw the Keystone Retriever Club was holding back-to-back tests this weekend I entered both. "Hey," I thought, "we've got two chances so if he blows one there's a backup".
He passed them both.
Jon is now a proud ( and very wet) Junior Hunter.
