Teaching kids, raising babies, teaching dogs… it’s a balancing act that I am blessed to do. I don’t take it for granted! This did trip me out though!

Jet was being hard headed during force fetch so I had to bring him inside for some loving! And Smoke just wants to snuggle all the time! Alex Smith Lisa Clark Smith

Hunt test weekend RECAP.

Stopped at FreshAir BBQ, watched my girls, Kristie and Daylin get their first passes, had 3 kids that stayed at the Quality Inn but were as excited as going to Disney, got locked out of the room because I couldn’t prove that I knew Scot Norman and he was at the store (with all 3 kids), hosted an excellent youth event that the kiddos loved, got filthy, and watched hard work pay off in the end!

Excited to announce my first HR Title on an English Cocker Spaniel… and one of few in the nation:
Cagle’s Darlin Darla! So proud! and thanks for the opportunity and trust!

Brad Meadows has a very talented yellow female that isn’t even two yet who passed finished this weekend!

Benjamin Brand has a handsome and smart black male that passed Seasoned and is becoming an excellent hunter!

Have some up and comers building back home, too! Eli Waits

English Cocker, Darla, running a down the shore blind… I chose to give her a few casts off line towards more water for training purposes… if I would’ve settled for letting her “do good” she wouldn’t have learned a thing… I love teaching. ❤️
