Spring

Banjo, a Coco x Rocko male (littermate to Roxxy) on a pigeon today.
Maizey (Elvis x Springpond's Grace) has been coming along nice, she is a littermate to the male below.
Mo, above, is about 11 months old now, this was from January as you can tell it was a nice light winter here. He is currently for sale, a real nice pup but am looking for a male with a little more size. 616 438 1427
Roxxy above, is the Coco x Rocko Female and she is also about 11 months old. She is fun to watch, and loves birds. She was pointing grouse at about 4 months old.
Coco, above down in the hollar of Kentucky. Excited to get in some trials this spring with her, last spring she had pups rite in the heart of the spring and basically washed out the whole trial season, only running in the Region 13 Championship.

Spring is sort of here. The last weekend of February we got it started by heading down to the hollar in Kentucky to train at Kenny Purvis's farm. We headed down there with dogs all packed in, and had a good group of guys in Dave Terhaar, Harold Holmes, and Joe Wolfert. It was good to get some sunshine and sweatshirt weather, and also find some birds. We had some quail to work the pups on and found a good share of woodcock with the shooting dogs. As always, the hospitality was second to none, a big thanks to Kenny, Missy, and Sammy Purvis. Last night I went over to Dave's and we ran a shooting dog shift and Coco and Elvis each had woodcock. We then did another short shift around the house and hit some likely spots, Daisey had a grouse, and we didn't move any other woodcock. Going back Saturday, hoping a few more birds pile in. Hoping to update a little more this spring, hope everyone was able to get out this winter a bit more than normal.
