Thor started swimming today...which led to developing into a baby dock diver when he followed River off the dock!
Fearless 5 month old!
Ellie has always had a ton of point, even as a puppy. We haven't done much work except for getting her to understand the word "whoa" outside of bird work.
She kind of stumbled into this bird on the wrong side of the wind, but we worked it anyways, her previous bird she pointed a mile away so this was far more tempting to move and she held it together beautifully!!!
What I mean by this is we trained her to stop moving on command, tossed bumpers and asked her to remain standing, and worked at stopping her forward movement while running, before ever asking her to do this on birds.
Transitioning to bird work this spring, in the woods on wild birds earlier and now in the field, we are seeing she is grasping the concept!
Exciting things for the girl who hasn't even turned 2 years old yet!!!

Ellie got out in the woods today, for her 1st hunting season last fall she is coming along nicely this spring! Fall season should be awesome!!
