Well we saw some antelope with young today on our way to our training pond. We had Otis and Beau out doing single marks in the water even the old man - Tanner got in the action some - great day training today.

2nd day - Starting training

Well, we started out before day break - roading 8 dogs to start getting them in shape - it was a cool morning a hint of a storm brewing over the horizon and occasional lightning flashes.

Dogs in the roading rig were:  Cordite, Knikki, Annie, Boss, Tina, Lucy, and Chance.  6 miles later we had 8 very tired dogs - Puppies were along - They were Sassy, Cindy, Sue, Bows, Liz and Sassy.  After the first mile they all went back except Cindy, Lizzy, and Sue.  Three bunches of birds were pointed.

After roading we worked our retrievers - Otis and Beau - We were working on heeling, sitting, and whistle work - after doing the yard work we loaded the dogs up and went to do water work.


Whoa post and chain gang work will be done this evening.

Price increases/change for 2014

Just giving you all a heads up - all prices for 2014 are gonna be standardized.  Prices and multiple dog discounts for 2013 will remain in effect through summer camp 2013

Effective in 2014 the price schedule will be as follows

Puppies/Conditioning dogs $900

All others - IE Field Trial/hunting dogs/derbies $1300

There will be no other discounts available - due to the rising cost of feed and fuel.

Thanks so much for your patronage through the years.

Heading back to camp again

Well, we are once again bound for South Dakota to our camp in Timber Lake - hope we have as good a year as we did last year.

Howdy Everyone;

Well, we are back in Texas now.  I am sure you are all as anxious to have your pets home as they are to go home.  You may come up and pick them up anytime - I am gonna be trialing this weekend coming up but I believe I will be home all next week.

If you live in DFW area - I can transport some up that way this week on either Tues or Weds as I have to go up that way to get some stuff anyway - just let me know if you would like that.
