We’ve been busy the last couple weekends chasing birds at Docs, but I seem to either not have my phone or don’t take pictures. This morning I was able to grab a couple pictures. Had another good hunt with the Bowman’s, dogs worked well and most of the shots were straight until I tried to get a video. That’s just how those things work out.

Had the pleasure of guiding 3 generations of Bowman’s today at Docs. I like to think that everyone had a good time, I know the dogs and I enjoyed their company.

We did make it out for opening day with our friends at Broken Tine Sporting Dogs- Wirehaired Pointing Griffons just didn’t get any pictures. We did however get some pictures from our afternoon activities. We had to go get some hay for our Klassic Key Stables friends and just happened to have some fishing poles. My brother and nephew did okay.

Let’s meet another “mutt” shall we. Aux Lake HH Wyatt Earp(Aux Lake R Dukes Daisy x Glaciers Single shot mountain) Wyatt is our steady Eddy, Mr. Reliable. He has a heart of gold and a level of intensity thats hard to beat. He’s shy around people in day to day life but in the field we’re all friends. I waited almost 2 years for this little guy and it was well worth the wait. Wyatt is one that wants to please and succeed although we are still working through some retrieving issues on upland birds (slight feather aversion)he’ll bring back ducks all day long. Wyatt will always log the most miles for the day and he’s always steady on point. His confidence in the field has really improved these past couple of seasons, if says there’s a bird there, it’ll be there 98% of the time. I’m really excited to see what this wild bird season will bring. We tried a very short stent in the show ring and although the judges had nothing but good things to say about him we haven’t been back. We are hoping to get some X-rays and health clearances done so we can offer him at stud to the right girls. Wyatt has been the perfect example of “a good dog will basically train itself “. There’s not a day that goes by that he doesn’t make his grandma Belle proud.

We had the privilege of helping Dallas county Pheasants Forever get 9 lucky kids in the field at Docs today. Kids and dogs all did great. Shout out to our non griff friends that helped today too.

Meet the mutts!!! Well known in the Aux Lake family Belle/mama Belle is now known around the house as grandma Belle. After a long Devine chain of events we ended up with Belle as her retirement home thanks to Larry and Paula Woodward, the pioneers of the Aux Lake line of Griffs. Belle has often been described as naughty but not bad and she still fits the bill at 14. Although mostly blind and deaf (depending on whether or she feels like listening) she now spends the majority of her day sleeping and letting us know that she still runs the house.
