Pedigree
She is my 4th generation girl (Katmai>Tazlina>Nizina>Ivishak).
The purpose of the breeding that produced her is discussed in the COI section (please read). The goal was to keep the things that I value: marking skill, temperament, passion for the hunt, birdiness, quality of coat etc., and to diversify the genetic basis of my lines.
This was not a breeding to try to produce all-age type competitive dogs. It was a genetic diversification breeding (outcross) in that it produced dogs that have a 10gen COI of 0.4%.

As a huge bonus, I also got sedge; although, initially, she was not sedge, but gradually turned red as she got older.
Sedge, which is a reddish brown, used to be more common. Now, it is very rare to find especially in the field lines. Sedge is a very unique and beautiful color.
Ivishak is a very birdy girl who already has become an accomplished pheasant hunter at a young age. When comparing her to her mother at the same age, Ivishak, is ahead of her mother, and her mother is an excellent pheasant dog.

She passed her first hunt test when she was 6 months old and you can see in the following pics, her jumping in the water at that hunt test.
