Intro to duck search on new water with the two-headed, eight-legged, one-brained monster (at 9 months). In this case, they actually helped each other expand and keep the search active even when the duck dove and was out of sight. They learned a lot during this exposure, but as you can see, when permitted they will operate as a unit.

Happy second birthday to this amazing trio! They have grown into such well-tempered, beautiful, and well-trained versatile gun dogs.

Happy 5th birthday to this beautiful girl, Modelo vom Schlussstein, aka Melo, Melo Yellow, Stinker, Baby Girl…. She’s the foundation of Quill Feather Gun Dogs, and the best momma dog you could ever ask for to raise pups. Cheers to another year!

Quill Feather’s Sea Dog “Maryn” patiently waiting for her turn in the tracking field at the NAVHDA Natural Ability test last weekend. This was the only portion in which she struggled. The conditions weren’t great and she lacked focus. She ended the day with all 4’s, except for the 1 in tracking, which pulled her down to a prize 3. I’m exceptionally pleased with this girl and can’t wait to move forward with her training!

Our entire Modelo x Cam 2023 litter tested yesterday (5 pups) in the NAVHDA Natural Ability test and we are very pleased to announce the following:
Quill Feather’s Clean Slate 110 prize 1
Quill Feather’s Browning 83 prize 3
Quill Feather’s Sea Dog 106 prize 3
Quill Feather’s Maverick 69 NP
Quill Feather’s Last Drink with Stinkie Fink 97 prize 3

This litter was tested at just seven months, which is younger than we typically like to test as pups are still developing the ability to focus on the task at hand. We continue to be very proud and optimistic about this breeding. Looking forward to more consistent and structured training!

The two-headed eight-legged one-brained monster. Keeping and raising littermates is not recommended…ever. This was a decision we were forced to make in the best interest of one of the pups. However, they are both growing into amazing dogs and, despite the work, I have no regrets.

This little stinker loves to steal her momma’s blanket and drag it outside in the dirt. 🙄
