It's that time of year again. Hair cuts for everyone. Rogue and Hawk got an all over hair cut as they both have heavy coats. Everyone one else got their feet trimmed up as well a their ears. I was surprised how much stuff there was between their toes. Cleaned out now tho

Maverick finally found his for ever home. This gentleman enjoys hunting as well as his two sons and grandson. Maverick will have an awesome life. Sonda and I are extremely picky about placing our dogs. Clyde checked all the boxes. He plans on coming back this fall for a couple of days and hunting. So we'll be seeing Mav again in the near future.

Thank you Saige, it is always great to get updates from our pup families. Little Birdy is from the last litter, living a pretty sweet puppy life from the sounds of it.

Day seven on the table with little Kenzie. First five days is conditioning hold on the stationary table and then learn to move up and down the table with no pressure.
The last two days have been working on how to shut pressure off. Half way thru today's session you could see she just figured out how to shut the pressure off. She's still a ways out from being finished but we're heading in the right direction. Kenzie is extremely soft which is a complete opposite of Riot. Having two different personalities on the table would be a challenge for a novice.

Riot started her table work as well. She has already been on the table last spring to work on hold. Seems like she didn't forget anything. We'll work on this for a couple of days before starting her force training.
I've have been doing this long enough i have a pretty good feeling how this is going to go with her. She should breeze right the this.

With all the rain we had this spring everything is greening up and growing. Lots of training cover for the fall.

Mowed a road down to this field yesterday. Not accessible with the truck but now that we have the side x side I can easily load dogs and birds up and get to this field.
The Umitilla river runs along side this field, should be some fun training in the fall.
