Ivy putting that nose to work last month in ND. It was warmer than normal, which can be hard on the dogs but they did well.

I had to deliver on my trip to the beach birthday promise to Lilly. Oh and Tetley wanted to tag along too.

Today is Sam’s 6th Birthday! She’s getting to spend it in her happy place. In classic Sam fashion as you can see she’ll bring you the bird but in her mind she has more important things then placing it in your hand. She thinks you need to put in some work too. Joking aside she’s such a special girl and we could never thank Lost Highway Kennels enough for trusting us with her 6 years ago. She’s in a class of her own and her zest for life brightens the mood of anyone around her. Her grit and determination could be a lesson to us all. Happy Birthday Sam! I’ve got you a new bed waiting for you in your favorite spot beside the wood stove when you get home. #yadkinriverpointersretrievers #birdhunting
I had to wake up the lab littles for their dinner last night and felt like a bit of a monster since they were so sound asleep. In typical lab fashion they perked right up and ate every bite! I don’t think that I’ve shared about these guys on here but they are our last lab litter of the year! It is a repeat breeding of Donna and Fred. We had great success from their first litter and their pups have gone onto be companion dogs, scent detection work for a police division, and of course bird dogs. We have a couple of these guys available if you’d like to reach out for more info. #yadkinriverpointersretrievers #labradorretriever
This was yesterday after the water had receded a good bit. You can see the waterline on the second pigeon house. The humans, the dogs and the farm animals are all good. We are extremely fortunate to have only had minor damages. Seeing the pictures and videos roll in from areas that were hit far worse are heartbreaking. The real reason for this post is to shout out and thank everyone who checked in yesterday. We were so touched that people would think of us to send a quick email or text. It means so much that these relationships have formed with our clients over the years.
A little video from the cocker’s walk over the weekend to brighten this foggy day. Watching them play, sniff and explore is the best part of my day. Just letting them be puppies and letting their natural instincts lead the way is a cool thing to be witness to. #yadkinriverpointersretrievers #englishcockerspaniel

Yesterday Josie got her favorite snack, today is Gus’s turn! 🍉
Josie’s second favorite time of the year! 🌽 She pulls a stalk out of the ground, takes it to the middle of the field, and then pulls off an ear. She then proceeds to “shuck” the ear and have herself a nice little treat. Probably wouldn’t let a youngster do this but Josie has more than earned the right to do whatever she pleases. #yadkinriverpointersretrievers
