Working the pup.
Working the pup.
Got some more quail and the pup I have did a great job. Shot 4 over her, she never flinched, found every one, she even tore across the field, hit the bank, flipped over 4 feet up, came up quail in mouth. Wow, what a great dog.

Re: Working the pup.
Wasnt my choice. He stuck and wouldnt budge. So I nailed him there in a head shot she got him on the fall. First was one released in a soft toss like bowling by my son bird flew and went up I shot it she found it but wouldonly point it I had to pick up that bird. Next one was planted 70 yards out, let her go, she worked it went on point, I flushed it and shot it. She did pick it up but by the legs. My wife was with us and she was impressed at her nose. She worked towards the bird and locked up on a point till I kicked it up. Let 4 fly andshot 4 down. I got my eye lenses replaced andcan see like I did at 25. Used a 410 double that is Oscars. 
Guy owns Pheasant Haven wantsme to do some guides next year and somewildbird hunts with some of the landowners around Elk City I lived there as a kid just a mile from there. We used to swim in the lake theere andstay over nite etc. Sure was a fun day. Pup sure is a good one. I couldnt be happier. Guy get the quail from invited me to hunt his land next year too. Everyonesees this pup loves her. She sleeps in thebed with the wife... Never hadher like any of my dogsbefore. She sure spends time with her. Hope I dont ruin her for the FT stuff doing thistype of bird work and shooting over her, the shot doesnt even bother her. It is as if she knows it brings the bird down. These birds are flying like 200 yards too.

Re: Working the pup.
Nice! I don't think shooting birds hurts for field trials. I probably let my dog break on the shot for over 400 birds before she was broke out SWSF.. As long as they don't catch them until you shoot you should be good. If your guiding have the people walk forward, watch your dog, correct the dog if needed and only let it retrieve on command. Will make trials a lot easier.
