Terry's Dove Hunt

[BASSIN]

Well Saturday Terry aka "old Marine" invited a few of us on a dove hunt his lovely wife bought at a silent auction. What a blast, the little grey rockets were moving well and Vader got to retieve his first birds. The fun thing was he was doing it in waist high grass and was getting better as the day was progressing. He found some lost birds mostly Dallas's. I want to thank Terry for inviting us. Oh they did feed us good too, ribs, chicken, beans and slaw.

He is looking good we have 12 more that just hit the ground last weekend. Sid said he did really well last weekend for not listening to you.

Looks like Vader has grown up to be a big boy. More pawprints on your heart Bassin

Vader did very well,he found the one these old eyes and his Daddy couldnt fine. he is looking better, I think its all the rib bones I fed him at the Bar-B-Q. THE DOG NEEDS A BISCUIT. lol thats for basSIN.

Yea Quaily he is hard headed, I hope you have some tips on how to handle this. I do not want to keep a check cord on him all the time so is there an alternative. He does get excited when the guns go off. At the end of the day he was actually watching where the doves were falling and going after them. He still needs a ton of work, any advice or excercises you can reccomend would be appreciated.
Also Terry might be looking for a new pup, I will mention it to him.
Yea Dallas he did seem extra heavy after lunch, now I know who was slipping him the ribs.

Yes Lostknife he is definitly putting paw prints in the household but his favorite thing to do is eat my daughters flip flops/sandals and my wifes slippers although she makes him retrieve them for her if she catches him early enough. She has had some soggy feet.
