Ms Katie

Doin what she likes best….

_DSC0117 She needs a haircut – her Mohawk has come back :)

 

 

 

 

_DSC0120 That’s her with in the jumping leap. I’m not kidding when I say they run 5 miles to your walking every one They run back and forth constantly unless you bring them in close.

You do not shoot these, they are swans… but I had to take a picture.

You have to force them to take breaks every once in awhile. Here she is checking out what I’m doing.

This is her brother. They run through some pretty rough grass and reeds and I am surprised they aren’t more scratched up than what few they have at the end of the day.

I have no interest in hunting in itself but I do really like watching the dogs do what they love to do. Their tails wag the entire time they are out running. They love what they do and are good at it. I am impressed with how well behaved Katie was. Last year I felt like she was just following her brother but this year she was really working. She was hunting for birds.

_DSC0125These next few pictures are of a pointer who found a bird and what they do is stand there pointing until the Hunter comes and releases them.

 

Once signalled from the hunter, they flush out the bird and will retrieve it when it is down.

_DSC0127 Katie and her brother had to sit and watch and it was very hard for them to do but they are well trained and just cried (cause they wanted to run so bad)….

 

I hope you enjoyed the day with me….

Have a great week!

  1. wow, thanks for taking us along on your hunting trip. That's pretty cool. And love the dog's mohawk. You should leave it, the other dogs will think she is tough.
