Heidi began her life at Andy Leichleiter’s farmover 9 years ago. As a pup, she was sweet and loving but when it came time for training andhunting, she just wasn’t performing the way he was hoping she would. Andy had decided inhis mind, if she didn’t perform well at a hunt he was going on at PB, he would look into re-homing her.

To his surprise, Heidi out-performed all of the dogs she was hunting with that day and blew Andy away. Prior to that hunt, she wouldn’teven point. Heidi proved herself so Andy enrolled her into Pheasant Bonanza’sDog Training programs. Upon completion of her training, Heidi went back to the farm lifeand they soon realized she needed to be somewhere she could hunt 24/7. Heidi built up quite the reputation at PB and in her prime,she was a highly requested dog by the PB Guides.Her PB Guide Dog Bio says, “Andy Leichleiter’s Heidi Clown I AM doesn’t go 100mph… she goes 200 mph! She’s one of the biggest running dogson the Pheasant Bonanza Team. Although she goes so fast, she’s very attentive; one blow of the whistle and she’s quickly back into range. It’s incredible to see her dart through the field, then stop on a dime within a split second and hold a rock-solid point.” Heidi litteredexcellent pups as well, including fellow PB Guide Dog, Arrow (owner Jager Leichleiter).

Heidi is in the last few months of her PB Guide Dog career as she will be retiring soon. If you haven’t had the chance to hunt with her, get up to PB and request her soon! April 15th is the last day of the season!
