The first time I ever had any contact with William, I had made a bad shot on a deer on Christmas Eve. I called him and to my surprise he said he was coming through where I was hunting and would come and track the deer. When he let Tank out of the box, I said something to the effect of, you're going to track my deer with a lab. Now mind you this was when tracking dogs were first starting to be used, as far as I know, so I was expecting some type of hound. Well evidently I came across kind of smart. He responded, yeah he was fetching ducks about 4 hours ago, he's about to find your deer, and in a little while he'll be curled up in front of the fire at my house, not many hounds can do all that. Well let me just say, Tank did exactly that. Since then William has trained several dogs for me and I have always been very pleased with the results. William is a good guy and Tank is a very good dog. Congrats on your puppy.
