A lot of you don't know Max but if you have a shorthair in North Dakota there is a good chance he is in your pedigree. I put him down today after fifteen years, thats a long time for man or dog. He became an NSTRA Champion in a very short time and before he was injured scored points over fifty percent of the time in the toughest competition. He was set in his ways but handled super in the field and produced some good pups with who ever he bred. His grandmother on both sides Heidi Ho Pinehurst is a hall of fame dog as well as his mothers littermate Heide's Mighty City Slicker. Max's sire Bluemax Spitfire Von Gref was a legend himself. I can only hope I see another dog of this calibur before my time comes.
