The Barks:

Last week I went to Sandy’s house early to run blinds with G & G. After we were done we still had some time to kill before training started so I threw some fun bumpers. The sun was just right so when the dogs were swimming in I could see their legs paddling and thought I needed to get a picture of their feet under the water. Since I was aiming for their feet I got some nose pictures. Here are some of the pictures…..Beaks And Toes

Questions & Answers:

SlimDoggy (@MySlimDoggy) Asked in reference to Monday Mischief~Fallen Closet :

Loved the video….what happened in the end? Did he find it? You made three shots and he retrieved three birds, so what was the last one? Just an extra he was supposed to find at your direction?

Gambler had to retrieve 3 marks that he saw go down. He jumped in the water three times and went in different directions to go get the marks. The forth time he jumped in the water and when you hear whistle blows he is swimming towards his “blind” which happens to be next to the first bird he went and picked up. Before he dashes into the cat tails he is sitting and you can see a little orange ribbon to the left behind him and that is where the “blind” is. He took a wrong cast and got behind the cat tails and then starting hunting on his own and stopped listening to my whistle. 

easyweimaraner Asked:

Hope the mosquitos were not at home that time :o) btw: who has to remove the ducks in the water after the end of the test?

The mosquitos were not out this day, thank gosh. But we did learn this past weekend if you want to keep gnats away just wear vanilla. Vanilla body spray isn’t as sticky as pure cooking vanilla but hey when your in a bind and Walmart is sold out of the body spray you go for the cooking stuff. As for the ducks if a dog doesn’t pick up a duck and it is in a area that the person can’t reach without getting wet they get a “pick up dog” to go get the duck otherwise they have a canoe. The ducks in the water were decoys so they grab them also at the end of the test.
