Yes, she is really into it ! Cooperative little pup isn't he.
Makes me want one even though I'm a duck hunter.

Re: Youngsters
Good, calm and positive handling, to be admired in such a young person, could teach lots of adults!
Re: Youngsters
Love it! They have certainly formed a bond with one another. Does your daughter ask you for advice, or are you simply letting her do her own thing?

She asks, usually wanting to progress faster than they should! most times I ask her what shes going to do in a session and watch from a distance.

Re: Youngsters
Fantastic seeing the next generation coming through, her mentor is supposed to be a reasonable trainer too!
Re: Youngsters
Personally I should like to see some more keenness on finding the rabbits and less stopping and then apply more breaks but not everyone will see it that way. Your daughter certainly has its attention though well done for sure on that

Re: Youngsters
Thanks for all the positive comments, im sure speed and intensity will increase over time, but for the moment im happy with their progress. Her goal is to make him a FTCH! but if she ends up with a reliable shooting dog that she can take beating ill be happy.
