Haven’t been able to get on many hunts this year, but was able to slip away last night for an evening hunt, just me and the pup. Got set up around 4 o’clock without much flying, then was able to pick up a single ruddy, sails half way across the pond crippled. She chased this bird for almost 3 minutes before finally catching up to it and never gave up. Throughout training we have hit some road bumps along the way, but I think the lightbulb if finally switching over. Though it’s just one bird these are the retrieves that’s make it memorable.

That's awesome!

Birds make a bird dog!

And they TOTALLY change drive in my opinion

Congrats! We'll always remember the first bird!

It's like you can see it click in their mind! love it

Keep birds in their mouth and you will make a dog. Forrest
