Elhew Swami "Bama"
As Gigi progresses with her training I continue to be impressed with her intelligence and bird finding desire. Now in her second season she is about to be considered a "finished" gun dog, holding point to wing and shot. She is an unbelievable bird hunting machine, owing this to her breeding of some of the most successful pointers to have ever been bred.
I was saddened today to learn that Gigi's grandmother, Elhew Swami or "Bama" as she was called, passed away on May 11, and Swami's sister Elhew Sunflower "Jill" passed away a week later. I always wanted a dog with close lineage to Swami and Sunflower, as they were some of the best shooting dogs to ever compete. It was a rare find to have the opportunity to purchase Gigi, a decendent of both Bama and Jill. It is a good feeling to know that those genetics are alive and well in their offspring.
