Courses set and chickens everywhere



We are finding birds on every course we have set for the field trial. All the dogs are progressing well.

Diva - Nice even forward race, leaning on the edges with one find. She was down for one hour.

Rhemy - Even, comfortable gun dog race with 2 broke pheasant finds and an honor.

Knikki - Nice shooting dog race, and did a fantastic job overall.

Kane - Nice shooting dog race, well applied and forward. Broke find on young brood of pheasants.

Cullen - Moderate, to big shooting dog race, took the edges nicely. Pointed some birds, and knocked a whole lot more (derby aged dog)

Jake - Forward, well applied shooting dog race, had a beautiful find on a large group of sharptail. He had a great day and judging by his happy tail a great time.

Tucker - Well paced, gun dog to shooting dog race, with multiple finds over the hour.

Kiwi- Well paced, gun dog race with nice forward moves to extreme range at times. One derby broke find.

Collin - Multiple derby broke finds on chickens and pheasants, well applied forward race with some big moves to excite the observers.

Hope - Well, applied forward race, in high heat and humidity. No finds.

Max - Forward, mostly even paced one hour race, but also had no finds. He has had multiple finds on different occasions.

Doc - Starting to move out from horseback more. Very encouraging to see this young pup work out there.

Tech - Hunting hard and finding birds, we still need to get him to hold long enough to flush in front of him, but his progression is very encouraging.

Dot - Extreme shooting dog race, she was the only dog that had any finds on a hot, miserable and frustrating day a couple days ago. Deep nose on her.

Chewy - Roading great off the horse, running a nice well paced all age or shooting dog derby race, with finds most days.

All in all it has been a wonderful 3 days of training.

  1. Sure sounds like Tech is doing much better. Thank you Keith for your persistence and patience. We look for new posts everyday to see how things are going. If you have time we would love to hear more about Tech's potential and progression offline.
