Essay came to us as a puppy from a pedigree we really loved, and we've been thrilled with how she's matured.   She absolutely excels at scent sports (nosework and tracking), and we're looking forward to seeing her compete in the upper levels of those sports in the near future. 

Essay is a complete sweetheart- always optimistic and happy, easy to live with, and takes everything in stride.  She's got plenty of go and loves to "do all the things", but is also a nice, balanced team player with a good clear head.
