the pigeon coop. I have a new 4 x 8 walk-in loft with 35+ birds in it, and if I don't sneak in backwards or have my husband hold her back when I enter, she's inside in a heartbeat. She can't catch 'em, but she sure dreams about it. Going to have to start doing pigeon chores when she's sleeping in the crate.Roxi did her first bloodtrack last weekend, is coming along with the pigeon pole/walking birds, and we are heading towards steady to shot soon. Took some video of all that and Brandi's first swimming at training day, but wouldn't you know it, new camera is off for warranty work--as it wouldn't transfer to computer. Hoping it comes back intact with my footage, but not holding my breath.
And congrats to Walnut Hill on Gamble's Odessey Fritz being the Spotlight Dog in this month's Versatile Hunting Dog magazine. I was tickled pink
, when I flipped the page, and spotted him. DeniseMy favorite photo. Happiness x 10.

She looks alot like her Mom, but I see Fritz there too. Fritz had such a natural desire in the water and seems to throw it. I have a yr and 1/2 old male, Sammy that is a carbon of Fritz doing a duck search, and has done it once last summer and once this summer. It is amazing. I am glad NAVHDA put that in, he is very deserving as a Versatile, many dogs have done more in NAVHDA, but not more in field titles. TeE pic in the flowers could win a photo contest...
Husband was having Brandi retrieve a left behind swim floatie, while Roxi went and decided to retrieve a domestic mallard out of the shallow water. 
No one was around but us, Roxi retrieved to hand, and we threw the quacking evidence (unharmed) back into the pond. :roll: It'll be double the trouble with these two!
