Training is really getting good

We have had a great couple days training. We are making great progress. The dogs are coming along great with a few exceptions.

Lucy - Ran well with several broke finds on pheasant and a couple times she honored well on other dogs points. Her range is comfortable foot hunting range, great nose and impeccable manners.

Squirt - Nice going, comfortable foot hunting range, she had 5 broke finds and 3 stop to flights as we rode up birds that sailed over her head.

Max - Worked well in heavy cover and stuck a sharptail several times . He broke at the shot but progress continues.

Tech - Ran very well, working the cover, intelligently and wind appropriately. He pointed birds twice and I was able to flush in front of him on one occasion. Progress continues.

Sallie - Ran well, worked the cover well still maturing on application. No birds were pointed.

Hope - Worked the cover well, at moderate foot hunting range, she had 4 finds and 2 honors. She is getting tighter on her birds.

Trevor - Ran well, had 3 bird contacts but mishandled them. He is a moderate working hunting dog, that shows progress in every outing.

Dot - Ran a forward, hard going shooting dog race, she pointed birds on 4 occasions, all handled with derby manners and a stop to flush near the end of her hour with broke dog manners.
