We played a little different game today. The Northern Michigan Retriever club had a training day and we decided to attend.

The only GSPs here today and we had a blast. It was the perfect way to start Blaze back into training at short durations and the girls got extra retrieve practice at a new location, both land and water!

Hunt retrieve tests are always on my bucket list to do with the dogs whenever time (and money) allows, training today for it was a success!!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our Ellie bean!!!

UKC CH Superiorgundog Sweet Eloise CGC RI TKN NA1, GDT 2

This is the happiest little girl in the world, she's turning into a phenomenal little grouse dog, I've shot more birds over her than our others. Training has been easy, with a ton of point and cautiousness on scent. She loves everyone she meets.

Can't wait to see what another year unfolds for her!!!!

Duck search seminar with Kyle Hough, thanks to SEMI NAVHDA for hosting this valuable clinic!!

River has struggled to send on anything she can't visibly see, we overcame that this weekend! She got on a few duck chases, retrieved a few ducks and I watched her excitement level rise drastically for this new game, so much so that Sunday she dragged me down to the water and off she went, we quickly launched her a duck to build confidence and the chase was on!!!

Hoping for a good summer of duck search training and we will be in business next year for UT!!

Thanks .borden.photography for the pictures!

NAVHDA SEMI Duck search seminar by Kyle Hough.

Well worth braving the 90°+ heat wave!

We learned a few new training techniques that I'm sure will help the girls move forward in duck search.

With minimal duck exposure Ellie was able to be sent on her first blind entry and chased and retrieved a few live ducks!!

I love his approach to starting dogs, it's all very positive, and fun filled! Excited to continue this over the summer with hopes of testing UT next year as duck search was really my only concern holding us up.

I love this girl, and her super cooperative spirit, getting her confident in this new game I'm sure will open up a new world for her in the water!!!!

Rocking the laser goggles 😂

Fingers crossed our 2-3 times a week laser therapy at the vet is coming to an end! Rehab consultation next Wednesday!

Swimming seems to be going well, excited to hear their thoughts and get a plan together for the Blaze man so we can get back to training, and ultimately hunting in a few months!!!!

NAVHDA GDT Spring 2025

UKC CH Superiorgundog Sweet Eloise CGC, RI, TKN, NA1, GDT 2

Ellie completed her NAVHDA gun dog test a few weeks ago, and despite having a few hiccups during her test she came out earning a prize 2 score.

Ellie hasn't had near the amount of training as the others, her willingness to please, and bidability has made her easy to steady. She knocked it out of the park in the field portion of her test, steady through fall, I couldn't have asked anything more from her. She showed us why she continues to do well in the grouse woods, going on point on a few tree line birds, and very cautious on scent.

The parts of her test she could have done better, duck drag, and retrieve by blind are due to lack of exposure/training on my part, which will likely get worked out this summer.

Ellie is the happiest girl you will meet, excitable and lovable. Although she doesn't live in our home, I count her as one of "my" dogs :)

Our plans to test UT with her in the future remain, duck search training begins now!

Thank you .borden.photography for the pictures!

NAVHDA GDT Spring 2025

Superiorgundog Two Hearted River CGC, SH, RE, TKA, NA1, GDT1

River completed her GDT test a few weeks ago, thanks to .borden.photography for capturing a few pics during her test!!

We have some polishing work to do, and duck search to train this summer, but River came out with a prize 1 score and made me smile the whole way through her test.

If I were to pick one moment I remember and cherish the most it would be when she came back from her duck drag, duck in mouth, and stood in front of me, eyes big and bright looking at me, "here's my duck!"

I love this girl and her ability to make everything be filled with joy!

We did a thing today!

Ellie added a few more titles to her name, we drove up to Traverse City (our old home) and tested Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog Novice

I have to submit all the paperwork but pending AKC approval Ellie is now:

Interrupting our normal "bird dog" postings to remind everyone why we love these dogs.

After 4 years this never gets old, home from work and River ALWAYS greets me with a happy growl, teeth smile or something in her mouth, never failing to bring a smile to my face

Fresh restock!

Ellie received mail!!

UKC official Conformation Champion!

It was a fun few shows dabbling into the show dog world, thankful UKC is pretty welcoming and low stress for someone like myself that doesn't know much about it.

Saying goodbye to the past 3 months with our bearded lady, Gen, who opened our eyes and heart to the Drahthaar breed.

has produced a phenomenal tempered baby bird dog with a ton of natural ability, drive for birds, retrieving, and endless love to share.

We tried our hardest to send her home with some spots ;)

We definitely will miss her, but I look forward to watching her continue to develop and become an awesome versatile bird dog! Thanks Will for letting her stay with us for a few months getting her potty trained, socialized, and introduced to the bird dog world! I can't wait to watch her rock her German testing (I am curious to this side of things as I've only had experience with NAVHDA, AKC and American field trials)

Shes had a fun few months as we tried our hardest to get her in the woods before quiet season began on a few wild birds, attended most of our hunt test, NAVHDA, field trial, training days, and dog shows, as well as weekly agility nights. She hasn't met a person or dog she hasn't liked, was bold and adventurous from the day she came here, and will retrieve anything you toss in front of her. She's swimming, pointing, and tracking. Big future little girl!
