Will post more later, but here are few pictures. We saw a corded poodle at the hunt test - very fun to see one up close. Argus didn't know what to make of this gal!

PCA 2014
Total success at PCA 2014. Argus went 4 for 4 - adding another leg to his Senior Hunter goal.

Addieville
Hunted at Addieville on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful day - warm - in high 50's/60's.
Windy for first stocking where they put 8 birds out. Argus got 7 to flush. Some flushed "wild" when Argus was running near them. I think the wind made them spooky.
The second stocking of 7 was fantastic. Argus got all 7 on great points. He trapped several - some I think were too dizzied - so did not flush - even after I picked them up and threw them. They were basically dead - either from Argus trapping them or the bird boys spinning them too much.
Whatever - Argus did great in the hunting.
We also did about 5 "hunt dead" birds. He was a little wild on one, but definitely hunted up the dead birds. He "winded" them mostly - just got downwind and followed into the bird.
Great retrieving too - and he's holding it better. The work on "hold" has paid off. Will continue though before the test.
