Spring hasn't really sprung as the weather has stayed pretty cool, cloudy, and rainy. The quiet season starts up again this week, and we made the most of the wild birds this spring. For a puppy, Coco had really good month and a half or so. I tried to run her in the woods 3-4 days a week since the snow has been gone and she has pointed birds I think every time but once. I was hoping to do a little more trialing this spring, but about the first week of March, Freddy, my derby, had a tail injury and has basically sat in the kennel for a month and a half, but it looks to be pretty much heeled this week so we will hopefully catch some of the later spring trials. I have only went to the Michigan Amateur Club's trial, where I only ran Coco; she got 2nd in a field of 16 pups. I am hoping to ride some of the Michigan Shooting Dog Championship this week at Ionia, and am also hoping to go to the Empire Championship in New York in May. Other than that, we might catch a few other weekend trials, and just keep working the pups. Below is a picture of Coco on point at 13 months old.
