Spring 2009

Finally, bare ground! After an extreme winter, spring looks like it's finally here. We have been finding woodcock as of about two weeks ago, with a decent amount of birds found last weekend. All of the dogs have been getting plenty of work, along with Slic, the tennessee walking horse which was added to the group in the fall. We also have a few puppies we are starting this spring which I am excited about. In the coming weeks we are just trying to get the dogs on as many birds as we can before the quiet season starts, and shuffle back and fourth between some of the trials at Gladwin along with some of the US Complete and Horseback trials.

Puppies, what a bunch of work! Pictured above is Bruno and Diesel with Erin, and below is Finley and the Diesel. In case you can't tell these two are half brother and sister, both sired by Rocko. Finley is out of RU CH Magic Climb's Kaytoo, and the Diesel is out of a nice female named Grace, who is out of Long Gone Agnes and Long Gone George. Bruno is by The Insider and Grouse Ridge Paris (Grid Iron x Grouse Ridge Maxima) So far they all seem to be good at eating, peeing, and poopin.

The Baby D as my wife calls him aka The Diesel scent pointing a pigeon (I threw a tethered bird in this clump after he already went through the area and ran out in the field) So what if it's only a pigeon, not to bad for the third bird he has ever encountered; gotta start somewhere with the babies!
