First day of summer pre-training

Well, our 3rd day working the pointers I have in for summer camp - the next 6 wks we will work them off an on until we get up to Timber Lake.

Scout - 4 month old daughter of Elhew Fibber McGee - awesome little orange and white female that has a beautiful point.



Jack - 10 month old male - grandson of Island Grove Brute and doing a wonderful job on birds right now

Vee- 10 month old female - littermate to Jack - impressive young dog

Saint - 10 month old female - Not as good as the previous three puppies but I have hope that she will get more intent and better with experience

  1. Well, we are almost a month into summer camp training - Monday we turn them loose for the first time on wild birds. I am super happy with most of the dogs - a few are lagging but overall it is a great group of dogs. I am expecting great things out of some of the dogs.

    Arrow and Havoc are awesome young dogs/pups both are hard driving and rough on my body when the birds flush but mostly standing broke to flush now.

    Parker is doing awesome marks and pattern blinds we are starting to straighten her lines out better.

    Maggie is doing well - I have some problems that I think were instilled in her by her previous trainer - mostly her lack of independence for a bird dog - but her previous trainers were retriever people and so that is something to straighten out

    Luka is by far the most advanced for what little training he had previously - but he comes from great championship lines and he is older and more mature.

    Pointers - All the pointers are coming along nicely - really happy with Scout and Vee and Arrow for their youth - been a great summer watching them grow and develop.

    The old guard - Ash, Finn, Reggie, Captain, Pearl are still awesome - gonna be a great time running them with some young dogs tomorrow.

    Brenna - Hoping she gets a bit more serious she has happy feet but attention span lacks sometimes - Her sister Dixie is doing much more refined work - but that could be because Dixie has been molded for months prior - in our program Brenna seems just as talented just need to get more focused with her.
