Jerry, I too would like to send my dogs. I'll send some marking tape for the blinds, feel free to use it all. Here's a breakdown of the dogs and where they are at. I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience.
Trapper - 12 months - Young dog, just starting handling on T pattern, another week and moving to pattern field simple blinds. Working on doubles. Derby prospect.
Scoop - 3 years. Pheasant dog. If you could mix in some upland flush work that would be key. Running Master level setups
Peat - 2 years - Ready to run Qual. High energy type A dog. If you could teach him to sit that would be great.
Edge - 12 months - Same level as Trapper, doing ok but a bit soft. You might have to let him sleep in the trailer with you, and he likes steak.
Gracie - 4 years. Gracie is an English Pointer so don't worry about marks with her. If you manage to find her i'd like her back. Sweet personality
Oni - 2 year old BLM. Nice dog. Owner didn't do anything with her until she was 1.5 years old so she's a bit behind. Great drive for a stubby little blocky dog. You'll have to pick her up to get her in the truck. She likes peanut butter with her meal at night and don't lose the stuff toy or she'll howl all night.
Chipper - 10 months. House pet. Wifes dog. Good luck. We're not sure but we think she's a cross between a chiwawa (sp) and a long haired wiener dog. FF is going slow.
Bruin - 4 year old. Big time passive aggresive. (Show dog yellow) High bird drive but is quick to flip you the paw. Hates running marks uphills.
Now for the Goldens....
Darci - 2 years old. High drive and energy, good marking dog. Will piss on your boot in the holding blind. Midnight blue bandana
Kira - 3 years old. Running master level work. Owner does agility and OB competitions for her so you'll have to come up to speed on the whole hand movement hip shake thing to get her to swing finish and come in. Does pop because of the games she plays. She likes a lot of loving and some baby talk in the field. Dark pink bandana
Logan - My favorite golden. 7 years old. MH. Absulute lush on couch. Owner pheasant hunts him every other day 4 months out of the year so his line is a bit interesting. High bird drive, water launch to make you think he's a black dog. He does have a slight anger problem so you'll want to make sure you have an escape route if you burn on back. Oh and don't reach into the kennel for him if he doesn't want to come out, course you'll figure that out on your own. Purple bandana...
I'll keep the hard to train dogs home, wouldn't want to send the basket cases to you. Thanks and will this be a regular yearly thing cuz I'd like to have more time to plan for sending the dogs away during my vacation?
