Just a few shenanigans in this nice cool evening

29/07/2024

Did some more summer training tonight. Lessons learned, I'll explain. So this evening I wanted to get Josie some water work. The first true water work. So I took her and Dixie to a pond not too far from home. Such a brilliant idea, until I forgot about the time of the evening that I did it... just as the sun was thinking of setting so the mosquitos were full fledge out. Which is why I didn't get any videos. Note to self, next time go when it is 85-90 and sunny not in the evening after a spotty rain all day!

Back to the important stuff. I haven't had Josie in the water with depth yet for retrieves. So I grabbed her and the old girl (Dixie) just in case Josie wasn't sure about retrieving in the water. I first had Dixie do a few retrieves then held her back and let Josie at it. Her lack of confidence in swimming was quickly forgotten with her drive to hunt and she didn't realize what she was doing... LOL She swam like a bobber slapping the water with her front paws but she managed to get to the dummy every time and bring it back. Although she didn't get "smooth" in leveling out she definitely got better but we wanted to end on a good note so after about 20-30 short to medium water retrieves, we called it a night.

Her and Dixie were ecstatic about going for a ride in the back of the truck, they thought they were pretty special.

Overall a productive night but we won't forget about the time of the day/evening we do it again!!!

We even worked on a few double retrieves with them both going out.

Josie is ALL go and ready to chase the next whatever. She’s been great so far. Still getting use to the pointy beak that’s in the field dogs so much but she’s a people pleasing princess.

For her and the others we just got more pheasants for training. Getting ready early this year!!!

Rare and never seen before footage of Josie laying down!

Josie “the barn swallow destroyer” is on the lookout. Really starting to get muscle structure. She’s been a good one so far. Working over live pigeons and any ball/dummy training seems to be elementary to her. I’ve been trying to work more complex blind retrieves lately.

When I see post like this, I see nothing but hunting dog. If you’re looking for something that’s going to hunt for you give this one a call, text or message.

UPDATE: no longer available ❣️❣️😂

This sweetheart came home yesterday. She is a liver tri roan. Definitely needs an active family with training skills. Would be an excellent hunter. She has lots of energy. 10 weeks old. Message me if interested. I won’t answer questions here.

Blind retrieval day 2

Josie has been doing great. Here’s a quick video of her struggling to pick up the scent on one of the blind retrieves. I seen a lot of great things here though. I liked her working, I like her circling and she’s clearly got a good nose as you’ll see towards the end when she picks it up. She’s gonna be a good one!

If I can tomorrow, I will try to get her on live birds, pigeons.

Josie has become obsessed with barn swallows. This is after a few laps of chasing the ATV. You can hear the others are drinking while she’s busy chasing!

Blind grass retrieves. After about 1/2 hour of fetch we did some complete blind retrieves. Before playing fetch I planted to balls with pheasant scent and told her to find it. Video 1. I’ll take feedback and will add some of my own in comments later.

Josie excited, humans annoyed

I have had a very specific plan with our kennel and it's hunting/family/breeding concept. It is now time for the next phase. I first starting hunting pheasants with my dad and his brother (Uncle Rick). Outside of my wife, kids and in general family, at the time it literally was some of the best days of my young life. The older I got the more I wanted to hunt... dad couldn't always be available to go and I was never as good without him as I was with him. So naturally, I got a dog! That dog was a field bred cocker spaniel. Dog drove me nuts but I LOVED hunting pheasants with him, man he was a tough old dog! Upon his passing and me getting older yet, I got my first springer. It changed my entire perspective on hunting. Every single breed of dog, even the mixed, will bring a certain amount of joy and can legit hunt, whether hunting or companionship but none has done as much for me as a springer spaniel. I had always wanted to start a breeding program but never to the magnitude that I wanted to not be able to hunt my dogs. I soon, like many of us, fell in love with the roan dogs. Love them in all the shades to be honest, especially in tri. I of course was enamored with the lemons a little later. With the help of others I was able to incorporate it all together. It is now time for the next "great visionary" step with our kennel. There are two things that I want to work on, while maintaining the work of our line as it is. By no means is my vision better than any other breeding kennel, this is what I want to do with my line. 1. Bring the size down some. So many springers that are of the "cosmopolitan" lines seem larger. I want to bring my line down to that 48-52 male size and 40-45 female size. Along with bring the legs down some as well, too many tall dogs out there. 2. I want to bring the intensity of a field springer to my line and yet keep it controlled. If you haven't ever see a 100% field bred dog work, you would be in awe. I truly encoura

The old lady still wants to get those darn birds!!! I picked up a few pheasants to mess around with and this is exactly what my wife said would not be very nice for these dogs!!! I’m like what’s not good the exercise????? Of course she thinks I’m tormenting them!

The “HUNT”!!!

We have a visitor this weekend, Maple (Scout x Marley) also Storms sister. This was Scouts last litter. This pair created some very skilled hunting dogs and incredible diversified family members as well. Maple, here on “business”, is being bred to Gronk this weekend. This pairing should throw a rainbow of colors in black and liver in tri, standard, roan and ticked. I would expect a good shot at some lemons as well. Both Maple and Gronk carry the lemon coat gene. Maybe even some sables in both black and liver. You all know I think the world of Scout so here’s your chance to pull some genetics from him. Gronk is from my superstar Dixie line (out of Rivers Edge Kennels). That line has thrown me some of the best hunting dogs. Gronk has his grandmas nose and desire to please his family. Upon confirmation of successful breeding there will be more info available. Storm is also in preheat and I will announce if we make the conscious decision to have her bred as well.
