AKC Hunt Tests have started for 2010

In this past weekend, Bredon was entered into his first Master Hunter Hunt Test that was hosted by Down East Hunt Club and held at Kinston, NC.  We are so proud of our Bredon, first test he got a pass!!!!!

Bredon at the blind with a judge watching.....

Brian Hartfield owner of Webshire Kennels in WI is the trainer/handler who is with Bredon. As they say a picture speaks a thousand words this one speaks of one word....SIT. Again the judge watching !

I love this photo!  From left to right...Judge 1 watching...next Judge 2 giving the sign to release the birds...Bredon looking on with Brian Hartfield..bird boy in green and Judge 3 on the right watching closely! The competition is ON!

Bredon released by Brian Hartfield!  Bredon LOVES to retrieve and can see his drive in this picture.

GO BREDON!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job Bredon...bringing the bird back as fast as he can!

Not over yet....Bredon delivering to hand with the Judges watching!

Brian Hartfield lining Bredon up for the blind....with those Judges still watching closely....will Bredon successfully accept casts from the handler Brian?

He did it successfully!!!!!! Great job done by both Bredon and Brian!!!!!!

What do I do when the boys are away?

With the help from a gal in the local quilters guild, we are working on a raffle quilt.  With a realistic embroidered Golden head in the center and with embroidered blocks (agility,field, obedience and tracking) that include titles under them.It is off to be quilted now.

Another Day With Our Boys.....

As the weather has not been forgiving this winter, training has been limited to mainly land and not much water work.  Here is Bredon being lined up and ready to release for bird number two.

You go Bredon!  He loves to retrieve!

Here is our beautiful Darcy!  He was so intent in watching the dogs work in the field. He is doing great with obedience training!
