Looking forward to Saturday
I am really excited about Saturday’s hunt. You see, over the summer I had this crazy, wide open, yellow dog show up with an owner that wanted a duck dog. The day we met, I threw that dog a bumper and it took me 20 minutes to corral her up and get my bumper back. I was a little concerned considering the dog was a year and a half old and had really no training at all. Well it took about a week to get her calmed down to where we could actually do some training. We got through odedience, made it through Force Fetch and collar conditioning, and she was starting to turn into something. Her owner called about once a week to check progress and one day I mentioned maybe running her in a hunt test. So he decided he wanted to do it, and I ran her in her first HRC Started test. She nailed the test, and earned a ribbon. Her owner took her home that day, and has hunted her this season with success. The reason I am excited about this weekend is that she and her owner will be heading down to hunt with me Saturday. I am looking forward to watching her work after not having seen her for a couple of months. Hopefully we will put some birds in front of her and I can sit back, watch and enjoy. Can’t wait to see you Lucy.
