Doing Pick-up duty at Addieville last weekend

Here are an assortment of pictures from last weekend's pick-up duty at Addieville.  It was a 1,100 bird shoot.  To Argus, this must be like heaven - Dad brings me to a place where birds fall from the sky all day.

We shared a station with Nancy Wolston - friend from prior hunt tests.  She had her female dog - Layla? - retrieve in morning, then Yaeger - pictured below - in the afternoon.  Yaeger will be going to Westminster dog show next month - we'll be cheering for him.   Yeager is a wonderful 105 lbs of lab - "slab of lab" - a term new to me about describing a great large lab.

Yeager is a Master Hunter and tried to show Argus the ropes.  Argus was the young, excited dog - by the end of the day - Yeager did not want to have anything to do with this young upstart - as you can see from their picture.  Yeager is looking away and not happy.

Here's a link to Yeager's page.

Overall, great day for everyone - beautiful winter day, sunny and warm.  We retrieved over 70 birds.  Great training for his upcoming tests.
