EGSPC Walking Puppy.

Couldn't help myself. Had to post these after the running today. We had three junior handlers run puppies today. The first brace that went out were two young ladies that had some pretty big running puppies to keep up with. I don't know how much time was spent watching the pups because they were almost two cute to take your eyes off. They definitely seemed to run those little pups with ease. There scouts on the other hand seemed to have there hands full. Here is a pic of them.
In the second brace my lovely little princess broke the trial ice with our little girl. Bama turned six months on the 3rd and ran here first time today. It took Emily a few minutes to gain her confidence but she did a great job with the pup. I was impressed with both of them and the smile still seems to be somewhat glued to my face. The pup reached out further today than she has yet and I can't wait to set her off tomorrow in the open from the horse. I am in hopes that she spreads out a bit further yet. With a few minutes left in our brace Bama locked right up and held for a second then relocated and locked it up again. I couldn't get my phone out quick enough but had a young little hen held up in the bush right in front of her. Emily walked in and flushed and Bama gave a little chase but stopped and then came off the bird with the whistle. I have to say I am very proud of them both and the last words Emily said to me as we put the pup back on the stake, " Dad, you gotta get me into more of these. That was so cool and a lot of fun." I have created a little monster after my own heart.
