Well, Haddie finally started putting all of the training and hard work into use today...and made me very proud in the process. We went out this morning for a couple of hours and she ended up flushing two coveys of sharptail grouse and a rooster pheasant. The first covey I think was an accident, she was pretty sure on the second covey, and she actually trailed the pheasant for 25 yards before it flushed about 2 feet in front of her.
I managed to down two of the sharptails (pheasant isn't in season yet) but we only found one of them. Still have a little work to do on retrieving them once they're shot, but today was a great step. Here's a pic of our pup with her first bird.

Hey - what kind of beautiful dog is Haddie? Kaiti and Robert, well mostly Robert are the proud parents of a German short-haired something named Boodreaux - probably spelled that wrong - he is the sweetest thing!! BUT - he is in training as well. Sort of Boot Camp for Dogs I guess. Christina, you are in my constant prayers and thoughts - wondering just what God is up to out there with you!! Something big must be coming up for you!! love, Kathy
