I was just reading the talk going around. But I had to pause at the picture of your dog. That is one beautiful chocolate! Enjoy all of the good times together!

I have been trying to hold my breath on this one. Gooser you have a wonder full looking pup butt four derby in a row at six months? You're response above would lead me to think you are the first person on earth with a talented six month old. I personaly think it is disrespect full to think this puppy is competive against the very talented derby dogs in the west coast circuit. With that said I think what Russell said above is true for all young dogs even the exceptions to the rule. I personaly watched this puppy run in Spokane this past month and was thinking the same thing why take a puppy with so much promise to a derby stake and let it back side guns cheat water and become trial wise @ six months. If it is for a Ada boy I will give you as many as you would like. I am sure that this dog will be all that you hope butt I don't think russell was saying any thing most of us were not thinking. I do wish you best of luck.

Well the pups are 7 months old. The weather has finally started to warm up quite nice here in Montana. This month we've had some nice days for water marks. This last weekend we had some Great training. Ammo's water work has continued to exceed all expectations. Her same marking ability on land is now carrying over to water. I do not believe that the early Derby's that she cheated the water have had any effect on her. We have been doing various water concepts and she is quick to learn. We are looking forward to the July and August Trials.

Good to hear Moose2goose! I am just wondering were all the other siblings are in their training. Gator is still working on his marking and is doing pile work in the yard. He is a thinker, I have to wait to correct because he will usually correct himself if given the chance.

Teka is through force to pile. Is running my three leg pattern blind field. I can sit her in the middle and cast all 3 piles with backs and overs. Have not started sit on the whistle yet. Her strength is in the water. She just loves to be in the water.

She ran her first water double the other day and had no problems. 50 yrd go bird with 80 yrd memory bird. Pretty straight up.

She did her hardest water mark I have run with her today. She had to think her way through it but she did it without help. 200 yrds with re-entry. High terrain with big up and down to the water makes this mark very tough and even my big dogs had some trouble.

Out of curiosity which trials will you be running?

SHR Wilson's God of Thunder (aka Thor) is so full of drive it is unbeliveable! We have been drilling and drilling wagon wheel. He is to 8 point with orange in the middle. Yesterday at lunch ( yes the boy goes to work with me and waits patently in a crate until lunch) the grass on the land I chose to use was alot higher than I had wanted. We chose the land because of the BEAUTIFUL pond they built in this new subdivision:D. All 8 bumpers sank in the grass:confused:. So now we had 8 blinds,,,, nailed all of them without hesitation! We have 2 - 3 more days on wagon wheel ( somewhere I read or was told when you think it's time to move on, give it 3 more days) and we are going to work on over. He has back down from a remote sit and MAN is he BAD left handed! I cann't get him to turn right, his right, for nothing. Don't think we'll worry too much about that roght now. Hope everyone is as pleased with the drive and trainability with these pups as I am!

Hi Laniee,
We will be running mostly in Montana and Washington. However, we will be traveling when possible. I know we will be running at least one in Utah. Bill is Judging the Amateur in August.

Yes we were. In the Senior they started off with the water marks. If the dogs did it, they were asked to do the land blind. She one whistled the land blind. :D Then they had to honor the next dog. She had a controlled break. She wasn't called back.

Controled break:rolleyes::rolleyes:? Let me see do I know someone who does that? Oh yah HER BROTHER!!! I'm having one hell of a time getting him to move with the gun on doubles and not go one bird 1. If you've ever seen their mama work I call it the "Tyra creep" and then off he goes!!!:D (no offense intended Deb) The only way I can get him not to break is with a lead on him. Guess he's telling me he isn't ready to work doubles off lead. I've really noticed the "teenager" coming out in him the last couple of weeks. Is anyone else seeing this. Wanting to do it their way, knowing their not suppose to.:D:D:D

The creeping and breaking is sure not going to get better by running them as young dogs, particularly often.

Ammo's not a creeper. Bill made a handler error. Ammo was dog number 5 and Bill saw several of the handlers in front of him kneel down beside their dog on the honor. For some reason he did this without trainining on it. We honor all the time in training but not kneeling by the dog.
