Well, we are giving the older dogs the day off, today. We ran puppies. We have several trial prospects - that may be available for purchase (we can't trial them all) Mia is standing broke to the flush along with her sister Dolly. One of these pups is gonna be a serious trial dog. Dolly is a client dog that has made tremendous progress.
Mystra, Tymora, Diana and Xena - All pointed birds today and did a great job they are conditioned to gun fire now and are doing great - Diana and Tymora - Had numerous points and flushes on wild birds. Xena is holding point very well.
Molly and Haley - Had numerous finds - holding to the flush - they had a great run for over one hour.
Tucker - Ran today because he is really starting to make a turn - it is very probable that if I had 10-20 more days here on wild birds he would be broke with style and class. He had a semi-broke find today - he was making game and I saw birds running through the grass - a gentle whup and he stopped and pointed - he stood through the flush of 15 birds and through the shot - holding until I collared him away. He had a stop to flush - that I whoaed him on - and handled it fine too - then on a third contact he stopped to flush on his own and held with manners through the shot. I am so happy to see this from him. Should we be able to get him broke - he will be a very nice trial dog.
Knikki - Had a broke find on a pheasant. We then moved into a wheat field that holds sharptail - this was just what Knikki needed - he had numerous wild flushes that he mishandled and was corrected and after about is 3rd stop to flush correction was stopping promptly on the wild flushes.
