Teal girl: Brittany Country’s Duchess Silver Pigeon (Beretta) North Utah is Beretta’s new home with Clint and Britanie and their teenage daughter. Clint owned a Brittany many years prior, and since moving and settling in Utah, on a land with property that borders public access that is full of upland birds, Britanie initiated the search…
Blue Boy: Brittany Country’s Scree Rayo (Scree) Scree is living with his new dad, Darrick, on a family farm in Eastern Washington and is already learning to be an awesome hunter (getting his first practice as soon as he got to his new home on wild pigeons and already demonstrating a great fetch!). Darrick says,…
This was our last change to give the puppies an exposure to something totally new before they start going home to their humans so we decided to introduce them to my horse, T-Bone. 🙂
We did the final evaluations on the pups today. The evaluation is really just a continuation from what we have already done. Rather than a chukar wing or a live chukar in a kick cage, I used a dead chukar I had in the freezer for training. Thawed him out for todays session. The objective…

In this session we took each of the pups out individually. We are looking for their desire to “look around” and how well they respond to the chukar wing on a string and toy on a string. If you dangle something on a string in front of a puppy, he/she will want to play with…
