Its been awhile!

We have had a very busy summer with lots of training and only running a couple of trials so far.  I did have fun with my wheatfield photo shoot with the dogs.

 

 

Reed did finish is WC title in July           

and picked up a UKC started pass.  He is still not quite ready to run the next level yet.

 

Reed has also received some health clearances, his hips are rated good, his elbows normal, heart normal, eyes cerfed and he is PRA 1 & 2 clear.  It was very nice to get these all done finally.

Club training day

A few pics of Reed at our training day.  He did well, nice and steady stepped on two of the marks, a small hunt on one in cover and lined the short blind.

Junior Hunter Title

I'm a little slow in posting this but Reed finished his Junior Hunter title back in September :0)

                                                 

 

and later some fun in the waves at the beach.....

 

First hunt

Yesterday we got up at the early hour of 4:30am to go goose hunting.  Not something I do a lot of, lol but I did it for Reed. 

We got all set up before it started to get light and now we just sit and wait patiently for birds.

Look as his face, his eyes are popping out of his head, he was so excited to be out.  He knew something was up and this was not training....

Here he is trying to figure out how to pick the goose up, they are pretty heavy....

He figures it out.....

 

One happy dog!
