Well, we are about into our 3rd full week of training. We have finished evaluating the dogs and have worked out a schedule so that each dog gets the type and frequency of work they need. Saturday and Yesterday we had heat indexes in the triple digits. This morning we had wanted to start horseback work but we had thunder and lightning all over the place and the last thing we want to be out on the prairie with lightning in the area - cows and haystacks get hit every storm.`
Preston - Having a great time - pointing birds and running around
Jewel - Running hard and pointing great
Red - Contacts with birds every day while free running of the ATV
Duc - Our best bird finder and mover of the puppies this year. Really fun to watch this dog.
Kona - Has had wild bird contacts and has pointed on a few occasions
Callie - Finding a few birds - have not seen her point yet
Taz - Finding birds and has pointed a few times
Buddy - Needs to be treated like a puppy - will not be broke this summer
Chance - He is doing well still has happy feet - we will work on this with wild birds
Stubby - Doing great - broke on pen raised birds - will work him more and more on wild birds
Charlie - Nice young female - She needs lots of work on steadiness
Sam - Will be trying to get him more steady on both wild and pen raised - flags alot which is sometimes a sign of pressure - will try making it fun for him again and see what happens
Kane - Getting in great shape
Dolly - pretty broke - need to reinforce it on wild birds
Jessie - Great little dog - still broke on pen raised birds - will continue to develop on wild birds
Dot - Beautiful female with great point and steadiness - we will have to work on wild birds
Primo - Nice dog - will work on steadiness as we go on both wild and pen raised birds
Annie - More pen and wild bird work - she still breaks hard - will work on that and think that being derby broke by the time the fall comes is very doable.
Trevor - Running better and we have seen some positive things from him - he is running better and he has pointed a few birds
Hondo - Runs big when he wants too - still not alot of bird work
Gus - Big running puppy - points level tail - but will be a fine hunting dog
Keith - Posting from Under the Rusty Windmill
