Wet day

With the rain no training was done. Took the pups out on Sat and they had a good run but no birds at the farm.  Did some blank shot work and the old dog was creeping worse then Zoe. Go figure....

Spring training

Well it's that time of year again.  The dogs have gotten fat from all the winter weather we've had and it's time to get them in shape for the fall.  Heard the first woodcock by the house late last week.  He had a few of his friends around and I though there I could here  at least 3 different males singing.  One was kind enough to do his little sky dance near the house and I caught a glimpse of him before he disappeared behind the roof line.  The AHDC (American Hunting Dog Club) has started their training clinics up as well.  There was one on the 17th but with all the ice and snow there was not much that we could do.  This coming weekend there is another clinic and the weather looks to be better for that.  Will probably get a couple of quail and see what Zoe has remembered from last fall. Hopefully the weather will be good for Sunday and the snow that we are supposed to get Tues into Wed passes us by.
