A Hunt/Train Day

Yesterday I was invited to a Private hunt at a Northern California Upland Bird Hunting Club by a Client.  I brought four dogs with me, three of hunting age, one just a babe in the field at 12 weeks.

 We had a great time and very much enjoyed the company of Ramon's 15 year old Daughter Ella who seemed to be doing very well and getting in some good shots!  I love getting youth out in the field and think the world of Parents and other adults who bring their kids into the world of dogs and birds.

Ella having fun - Great young Sportswoman!

 Having the opportunity to work dogs from a training standpoint in a Hunting setting is outstanding.  I didn't carry a gun all day, but got some great work and good lessons in on the dogs while still having a lot of fun and a good hunt.  It was a true win/win/win!

 Ramon Adopted Pressy from a Craigslist surrender Ad.  He is one lucky guy - she's got a fantastic loving personality and is a hard hunter already!  It was a very warm day and the dogs worked hard in the heat and tough scenting conditions.
