First off to our host at FitDog Friday Blog Hop:
This past weekend we decided to use all our pheasants we had left in the pen. This time we didn’t let the dogs hunt’em up like they did all winter (which is what pheasant hunting is about). This time we set up a mock hunt test and used the pheasants as live flyers. Once again John was out in the field shooting a double with the pheasants, there was a blind set up also. I was handling the gang. All three dogs got to have some training.
Nellie was first:
Second was Glory:
Third was Gambler:
They all did very well. I was super happy with Gambler as he had his double then John shot a single which I let go as a poison bird (he was told no bird and wasn’t able to pick up that bird) and ran a blind, after the blind then he went back and picked up the mark.
Whatcha doing Gman?
You got a feather in your mouth.
We had a great training day. If the weather would just say nice and warm so we can continue getting some training in for the upcoming hunt tests.
Stop back tomorrow to find out what one of Norman’s daughters accomplished.

There are no rules!
And that’s the way we like it! Who needs rules at a party anyhow?
BUT it is always a good idea to link back to your hosts, and maybe even give them a follow!
Also, this hop consists mostly of kitties , there are a couple doggies that are involved, but the majority are kitties, so one of the reasons Melissa and are now co hosting is to let you all know that this hop is DOG FURIENDLY as well!
Hi gang! Looks like a very productive training run. Love that picture of Glory giving G’man a little smooch. Priceless. Thanks for joining the Hop and being such loyal FitDog Friday fans.
Great post!!! I love seeing your pups in action!!!
And thanks so much for linking up to the parade with us!!!!! We are doing our best to bring more dogs in, so I appreciate you coming!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Gambler is always so speedy and can smile even with a mouth full! Such a good, hard working crew.
What a great way to keep them fit, and love that they’ll drop the “poison” bird when you tell them to. They look quite proud of themselves in those last photos. 🙂
Gamblers tail says: Victory! :o) It’s a pleasure to see them in motion :o)
Have a super friday and a fabulous weekend
Pawsome to see that your hunt went well- and good luck for the future.
They look so good with the bird in the mouth…kind of like me with a wabbit but we don’t have any photos of that. Happy FitDog Friday!
Looks like they’re training up well and loving their work! Thanks for sharing on the Pet Parade
The pictures of them together are adorable! Looks like the training is working too!
Great training session! And thanks for the anniversary card 🙂
Diane and Rocco
Both a mental and a physical work out – so an extra great way to stay fit!
I’m so glad that you joined us on the Pet Parade. Your photos are just gorgeous. I love the close-ups and “the feather in your mouth” Hee hee!
Looks like you had a great day! So glad you won the Unbreakoball! Hope the doggies like it!
Looks like a great day for everyone, and some wonderful photos. I hope your good weather continues. Congratulations on your FitDog Friday award too!
WoW. Extremely active & very technical as well. I can see why you guys won the ‘In the Hunt Award’ from FitDog Friday 🙂
Very cool that you got to do a mock test with birds. 🙂 Sounds like the dogs did great and you sure got some nice pictures. All three brown dawgs know all about those poison birds because we have been working those a lot.
