	July 2007 Grouse Rouster's Avanti was a terrific hunting dog, field companion, and family pet. She gave her hunting buddies, German Wirehairs, some tough competition! She was the dam of our 4th litter. Avanti had a great fall season last year. Jim even entered her in a relay-type competition in spring; she had the best dog scores for the tournament. She hardly ever missed a bird, giving those wirehairs a run for their money. A great dog, who will be greatly missed.
