We have been busy working dogs and puppies on liberated chukar and bobwhite. We worked the puppies Hailey, Stubby, Mia, this morning along with the dogs. Max, Cullen, Jackson, Star, and Sally. These are the dogs that need the most work. Jackson although getting better lacks intensity on his bird work.

Max, has a bit too much intensity and is going to take a bit more time to get steady to wing and shot.

Sally - who had been with another trainer, when we first got her was blinking birds -she was worked to restore her love of the chase - and this fixed the bird blinking problem but will make it harder to get steady to wing and shot.

Star is doing great - she was a bit loose at first on her birds - but is getting steadier as the training progresses.

Cullen is doing well, he still loves to chase and his soft nature is making it a slow process in breaking steady to wing and shot.

Hailey - Seems to have the doggy version of A.D.D - she is more likely to point or watch cows than birds that are moving in front of her. She will get more time on the ground chasing pen birds in order to bring out her drive and intensity hopefully.

Stubby - He is pointing birds by scent and sight with intensity. We have seen him point the covey of huns that inhabits the horse corral picking up grain the horses have left.

Mia - Looks great on point, but runs relatively dead tailed and has me concerned - but so far that is her only hole we are seeing.

Until next time.
