SWC All Breed Fun Day – LunaBelle in the Field

March 9, 2014

SWC All Breed Fun Day – LunaBelle in the Field

www.barrettweimaraners.com - March 2014 206Just a few hours after returning from a trip to Kingman, Arizona, I hauled the puppies out to the high desert again.

Location: Rosamond.

Start time: Crack of dawn.

Purpose: Let the dogs play around with birds for a little bit… test their drive, gauge their focus… assess their run.

Here’s a photo-journal of Miss Luna’s morning. Note: This was less than 48 hours after she was introduced to her very first bird (in Kingman, Arizona, on Friday night).

Am I pleased with her bird skills? VERY!!!

Shortly after arriving. She’s not a morning girl.

Actually, she was prancing around with the bird in her mouth.

Luna: 1. Bird: 0.

Deciding where to go next.

We purposefully let Miss Luna walk around with the bird in her mouth for a bit. But eventually, we had to get it back so we could start another round.
