Hayden

Hayden is 14 years old and still doing the one thing she was born to do. In this week's photo she is locked up on a pheasant, tail high and nose full, as steady on point as she was a decade ago. A German shorthaired pointer's drive does not retire on a schedule, and Hayden is proof that the best old dogs never lose a step where it counts. Fourteen seasons in, she has earned every soft bed and every slow walk back to the truck.
