Thanksgiving weekend and the first weekend in December Kira has been getting into the action. She's been backing Moxi without fail. Kira has even been finding her own birds and Moxi backing her. She also has been making retrieves. I have to say she's not very clear on objectives so she does a lot of extra running around. Kira's nose is outstanding and when on point she looks like a million bucks.
December 4th Kira and Moxi helped good friend of mine, Julie Crawford get her first pheasant. Having missed our share of wild pheasants we stopped by the preserve for some scratch birds. We were told a group of serious hunters worked with four dogs for a better part of the day shooting all of their birds and having seen a couple scratch birds fly off too far ahead to shoot at.
So Julie and I went to that field and indeed 5 mnutes into the field Moxi established point that produced out first bird we then proceeded to see 6 more but they were running and flying off before either of the dogs could get a point on them. On our way back to the truck as the sun was setting the dogs went on point Julie kicked out a rooster and missed about 50 paces and the dogs went on point again Julie kicked out another rooster and down it came, not even realizing the bird had been hit Julie was perplexed with her gun jamming after a bit of putsing with the gun here comes Kira with the rooster in her mouth delivering it to hand completely suprising Julie.
