This is shameless bragging and showing baby pictures! This litter was whelped 8 June 2017. Ruby did a great job with 11 pups! All lived and are thriving. We are at 5.5 weeks now, and they are close to being totally weaned. Personalities are developing rapidly as I watch closely to pick a male from the group. All these pups are sold, at this point. The potential is there for them to be excellent field trial and hunting dogs. There were a few times I shook my head and thought, "What were you thinking?", but, overall, these critters are worth the effort.
Many hunters and dog men from the past recommend getting a new pup when your youngest dog is 5 years old. It is sound advice. I'm only about 6 months early. This boy will take me well into my 70's. I'm already looking forward to putting into him everything I've learned about training bird dogs! Even better, I know, without a doubt, I've improved the breed with this letter, as well.
