New Pup!

[Bobby Bass]

Duncan Report- Last night the shop door was open and Duncan went in and got the dummy off the work bench and took it outside. He tossed it a few times in my direction till I finally went over and picked it up and tossed it for him. This morning I am scratching my head and wondering if I was throwing the dummy for him to retrieve or was he getting me off the deck to get some exercise...

A couple of shots of Duncan working out for this years grouse season, if you hum the theme to Rocky it will put you in the right mood!

LOL,now thats funny! My pup does the same thing,after we work out with the chuck-it he'll run with the ball to the back 40 and leave it,then come over and nose the thrower and give me the look like "lets go some more" and look where he left the ball like he wants me to get up and go get it...Dang dogs train us better than we train them.

So you have seen that look eh! if I am just chucking the dummy, then anything goes. If I get serious and put his collar on with the bell and take out the whistle then he knows we are all business. Of course when he plays hide the dummy then I get a wing out and play hide the wing, thing is his nose is so much better then my eyes that he wins every time!!

I don't have a bird picture but I do have a update with Duncan finding pumpkins!

Duncan report, Guess it has been awhile since I have written anything about the young lad, mostly because he has not gotten into any trouble! Has had a few run in's with a skunk but he learned his lesson well last summer and he keeps his distance now. He will however put on a barking exhibition and if he could pound his chest with his paws I think he would. This summer he has had a running battle with the chipmunks who raid the strawberry bed, he has not caught any but he has made them think about life a few times. He has blazing speed, especially when compared to the old dogs Bud and Barney. With a couple of new grand kids just starting to walk he has taken over Bud's place as the baby sitter. To my surprise he has learned how to point, nothing I have been working with him on but he will throw a point on a fly on the deck and hold it. I know that is not a big deal but now he has been doing it on the chipmunks and on rabbits in the garden. His biggest point to date was on a red fox just last week on the other side of the garden. I had a good vantage point to watch the stare down between the two of them, both were frozen watching the other. At least that is what I thought till I saw the bunny in the garden between them flick his ears, then it was the three of us watching and we were all on point.

Good luck with him. I just sent our litter packing except mine and one leaving with his owner on a plane to NC this weekend. Nice to see them get to new homes.
