Bird “work”

Hunt training was play for four month old Walter today.  He and his people came out to work with Biff in the field.  It was Walter’s first time on live birds and he did great.  They used bird launchers, a check cord, live pigeons, a starter pistol (just for the sound), yesterday’s grouse (so he could get a bird in his mouth) and Walter’s natural instincts. Note: No “e-collar” was used.  We don’t believe in them.

Walter’s delighting his family and he’s delighting us.  It was so good to see him again. As breeders, it’s gratifying to see the puppies from Chev and Reine’s litter so well-loved by their families and performing beautifully in the field.
