This past week I started doing some water work with Champ who will soon be 7 months old. It took a little time for him to get used to the water but by the second day he was doing well.

He has been doing well in the field and I was able to get a good picture of him last week working on some chukars.
His retrieving is coming around and he is getting better with finding dead birds and picking them up. Champ still needs to work on completing the retrieves but he is searching for and finding shot birds in heavy cover. He is coming along nicely in the field and in the house. I have him signed up for the local NAVHDA NA test in the fall and I think he will do well.
