Moving Forward

Well, we are making good progress all around. Puppies are running well and are having liberated bird contacts on a daily basis.

Buster - Graduated to big dog string - he has been standing steady to wing and shot for the last 3 work outs - so he will be getting run off horseback the first time we start turning loose to work wild birds.

Tucker - He is doing great too - but needs another week or so on liberated birds. He is well on his way to being broke and should be amongst the first dogs that will get wild bird work.

Tech - We are using liberated birds - to help increase prey drive and hopefully get him bird crazy so that issues with noise will be lessened.

Max - Still intense and bird crazy working slowly through - not steady to wing and shot. Trying to keep him in shape and build him up physically.

Trevor - Working better and showing more point and intensity.

Dot - She is doing great - standing almost broke - Pretty nice young dog - think in another week or two she will be ready to turn loose on wild birds.

Kiwi - Doing really well - a bit young yet but we are making great progress with her. She is pointing well and her birds are well located.

Star - Doing well, standing birds mannerly now. Looking forward to seeing her on wild birds next week.

Jackson - Needs much more bird work - hopefully wild birds will light him up more.

Collin - Big running - still not making contact with many birds.

Jake - Super young dog - outing on released birds - produced 3 pretty points

Maggie - Hard running stylish dog - finds birds too.

Dolly - See video at bottom of page

Ty, Mia, Di, Loki, Stubby, and Chester go on daily search and destroy missions on our liberated chukar and quail - wonderful to see them point, bump, chase birds across the pasture where we work liberated birds - they will do very well when we start to run them from horseback on puppy runs on wild birds in a week.

  2. I was able to click on the thumbnail and it started a video player. Alternatively, if you go to the Our Llewellins forum Keith has it posted there with a direct link to Youtube.
