These two crack me up. I’m so impressed with Lovec, seriously he has to be the best uncle a puppy could ask for. 🤎🤍
Small Munsterlander stud dogs. My dogs are approved by the SMCA and are listed on the SMCA website.

We are not really friends right now. The 90 mile drive home with a dog that decided to take on the striped cat (skunk) 🦨. Put me in a grumpy mood. He’s smelling much better now.
On a positive note he rocked his UT training today.
Bea’s big evening adventure.@
Took the boys out for a cardio swim this evening and Bea cheered them on from the kayak.
Once we returned to shore Bea took a little swim herself. Building her confidence of the water.
Meet Bea. She’s 15 weeks old. Her and Lovec have become really good buddies. Lovec is actually a little protective of her. Bea is a full niece to both my boys. She’s staying with us for approximately 2 months. I’ve been asked to train her on the basic requirements to being a nice young puppy. Potty trained, kennel trained, no jumping, sit/down command, wait command, gun introduction, swimming, recall, and lots of socializing. She’s a sweetheart, but I had forgotten how much work a puppy is. 🤎🤍
Lovec’s successful duck search 8/9/2024. I apologize for the wind affecting the audio aspect. Extremely happy with this evening’s work
The boys and I are on our way to Wisconsin to do some training Friday evening and most of the day Saturday. Kayak, guns, shells, birds, food, water, and a positive attitude.
Field work went well this evening. 🤎🤍. Lovec
Two VC Jager puppies tested NAVHDA NA over the weekend one in Wisconsin and the other in Alaska. Both puppies put together rock solid NA Prize 1 scores of 112 and 110. Pups are from two different litters.
Congratulations to these two breeders.

Look at the point on this 9 week old Lovec puppy from Buckwood Kennel’s Denver. I see a future hunting machine. I’m excited I’ll get to see this boy on occasion.
Started the cardio swimming this evening. Being it was the first time out swimming this summer, the boys went right around 20 minutes. 🤎🤍
A couple of great looking Lovec puppies that will be going to their forever homes within the next week. 🤎🤍
There will be a future repeat breeding of this pair.

Took the big boat out this evening for the first time in a couple of years. This boat is primarily used on our Canadian fishing trips. Taking my 84 year old dad, leaving Friday for a week of fishing in far northern Manitoba. He started going to this area in 1969.
The boys are confused, no camo, no decoys, and no ducks.
The boys cooling down from the heat and humidity.
Received these pictures this evening. VC Jager puppy that a friend of a friend picked up a week ago (so 9 weeks). His name is Chuck and he had quite the adventurous day today. 😂😂. He has not quite figured out he’s to sleep on top of the bed and not under it. May have been too tired to crawl into. 😂😂

Always a fun day when puppies are involved. Daddy VC Jager and Uncle Lovec went and visited the puppies at https://www.facebook.com/muddypawsgarfield?mibextid=LQQJ4d today. Puppies start heading home on 7/4/24, so the boys and I made the drive to Alexandria. 3 of the puppies are going to owners I’ve met, so excited to be able watch them develop into hunting machines.

Lovec showing a little style today at the SMCA regional event at Mead Dog Training Grounds in Wisconsin. It was a fun day. More pictures to come.
The boys and I are on our way to a SMCA Regional Event. Should be a great time. Heard upwards of 30-35 dogs and owners attending.
Big shout out to Boone and Kade Short. Kade first time handler and Boone had a great NA test day and put together a solid Prize 2
Congratulations to Saige and Joe today. NAVHDA NA Prize 1 112! Making dad (VC Jager proud). 🤎🤍
Starting to ramp up Lovec’s brace work (backing situations) with the plan of testing him in AKC Master Hunter later summer/early fall. Lovec has his Senior Hunter title, but it’s time to take him to the next level. Having him back his older brother VC Jager, always puts a little more pressure on him. These two like to compete with each other, just like the two legged brothers.
The boys enjoying the evening as it starts to cool down.
Apparently it was an exhausting weekend! 🤎🤍
Had a fantastic weekend at Brush Dale’s Kennel (Small Munsterlander Breeder) attending the annual Small Munsterlander Club of America Conference. 🤎🤍. Both VC Jager and Lovec were able too see a couple of their off-spring at the conference. Shame on me for not getting daddy/daughter photos. Ended the conference playing with 14 puppies. 😁

Very happy with tonight’s steadiness work with Lovec. Have 3 weeks until test weekend.
Happy with where Lovec is in his steadiness portion at this time. He did take a very slight step at the shot, but caught himself and stopped without me needing to say anything. I’m confident we will have that cleaned up prior to the test. Lovec is an extremely cooperative dog and aims to please. 🤎🤍
Ran Lovec on his first UT duck search Saturday morning with the Cyclone NAVHDA chapter. I was only able to video the end 25 seconds. Being it was his first this year I was focused on watching. Extremely pleased, it was a 12 minute search and at one point he swam 160 yards from the north shoreline to the south shoreline.
Gradually working the boys into training mode this spring. It’s only March, so no reason to get to crazy. Today we did hold/carry with their Dokken's and completed a couple of 125yd+ line retrieves.
This video is on the way back to the boat landing. We are still figuring out this canoe thing, but today was better then the maiden voyage last week. We took a nice 90 minute ride today on the Mississippi north of Sartell up to the bridge at Rice. Boys took a couple of little swims and enjoyed the ride. Do need to work on not having both trying to climb in on the same side at the same time. 😳.

New (used) motor for my duck hunting boat. Spending Saturday getting the duck boat ready and my new flat stern canoe ready for this fall hunting season. 😁
