Lady Claire

Claire, now known as Lady in the capable hands of my close friend Julie, is beginning to come around nicely. Saturday the 23rd we went out for a bit of training Lady showed enthusiasm for the hunt not only in the field but when she hears her bell on her hunting collar she now gets excited know she gets to go. Lady also is beginning to handle nice for Julie and works at a good hunting distance. She showed signs of hunting objectives this weekend something hadn't been doing in the past. She is beginning to respond to hand signals while afield and pay closer attention to what Julie is doing. Her listening skills still need a little work but she has come a long way in a short time already I have no doubt Julie is going to have

a great hunting season this coming fall.

In the photo Lady is pointing a planted quail and Sadie is honoring the point. Julie is kicking around looking for the quail and trying to tempt Lady off point so she can be corrected but both dogs remained steady to flush.

Profile: Sadie

Sadie now 1 year old is a very intense puppy with a big set of wheels. Her nose is excellent she's very well gaited and runs fast and effortlessly. She is still in the tweety bird stage so she likes to chase tweety birds. She is almost broke except when she can see the bird. I expect by this fall she'll get to do some productive hunting.
