It's nice when puppies do this on their own. This was Grace's first time down with the big dogs on wild birds and Daisy found a hen pheasant to practice on.

Shot Grace's first bird for her this afternoon. This is her second time on pigeons in launchers at 4.5 months old. She's running entirely on natural ability at this point. Thanks again to our friend Kaj at Hunt'em Up Kennels for letting us use Sitka in this pairing. He throws a ton of point into his puppies. This might be the steadiest group of puppies I've ever seen at this age.

I'm super pleased with how this little girl is coming along. If things go to plan she'll get to see her first wild birds next week.

We had a mini reunion and training day at our place today with 5 of our puppies from the Tilli x Sitka litter in attendance.

Grace and Brie had their very first dog show experience at the ICKC Ugly Sweater Classic in Norman yesterday. Brie cleaned up nicely, snagging Best In Show Puppy under Judge Jim Fehring, and she even made a few new human friends to boot! Today, they are off to the field for some collar conditioning and 🐦training!

Quick little two hour hunt and found a coveted Oklahoma public land rooster. It even behaved and I shot it over Apollo's point with Daisy backing.

Apollo has been out of action for a couple weeks with staples so I thought I'd get him out for a little while and Daisy tagged along too. But Apollo found all of the birds and made Daisy the Wonderdog look bad.

This is a classic example of "If I fits, I sits." This is Rip from our Tilli x Sitka litter. Glad to see he's still hamming it up in his new home. 😆

We can't say enough good things about the first-aid kits Clairissa Maples puts out. Ours is used both in the field and at home on a regular basis.

Hey there!

I'm Dr. Clairissa Maples, but most call me Clair.

I'm a veterinarian from Oklahoma (Go Pokes!) with a passion for bird dogs and upland hunting. After struggling to find what I needed on a South Dakota hunting trip and having many friends request them, I created a complete first aid kit to allow any hunter to be fully prepared in the field.

I now offer two kits - a field kit to carry with you, and a truck kit that has EVERYTHING you may need for a dog injury or emergency. Both are packed with the tried-and-true items I keep in my own first aid kit and come in easy-to-store containers.

Whether you're a veteran hunter or new to the sport, I'm glad you're here and would love to hear your upland story!

Sleepy puppies! 😴

This little stud of a puppy is going to be so fun to watch develop. Kaiser is getting all kinds of exposure at such a young age.

Daisy and Cruse showed in Chickasha this morning. They were really thrilled to be there.

Select Bitch for Daisy and Reserve Winner for Cruse under Judge Anna Vaughn. (At least the hoomans were happy!)
