We have had a great two days of training, with many dogs having contact with birds but very few points the first day.

Maggie and Chewy - Had two bird contacts with Maggie pointing the birds while Chewy ripped them out from under her. The ground application was fine.

Tucker and Rhemy- This was the first time I actually saw Tucker smell and try to point a bird. Billy had a find and Tucker honored. The race was to the front and well applied. Rhemy ran great but no bird work.

Diva and Kane - Diva had one broke find, although still lateral we are making progress and her application is getting more forward. Kane ran a hard race but ran over birds, and failed to stop.

Today was a much different story.

Cord and Alex - Cord had three broke finds and a honor. His race was well applied if a bit short. Alex did a nice job and pointed on a few occasions that produced birds or after relocation - in her inexperience knocked the birds.

Cullen and Pete - Had numerous finds and beautiful forward races. Both these dogs are derbies and handled their birds with fine derby manners.

Dot and Tech - Tech had a couple finds, and a nice race, he is coming along nicely. Dot had 3 finds with derby or broke manners.

Jackson and Star - Jackson continues to work short and as a result he is not getting into any birds. Star - Ran a nice race, forward and well applied - she had no birds however.

Lucy and Max - Max had four finds on pheasant, with derby manners. He is improving on his application and ground race. He stood broke, after a correction on his last group of pheasants. Lucy had one broke find and a honor with broke manners, her ground coverage and application is getting much better.
