Farm chatter

That's what I've heard. I think our dog Sage would place at least pretty high in a field trial. I can't think of anything she can't do. She did a 400 yard blind retrieve on a decoy that had drifted out. You couldn't see it without binoculars. She couldn't see it either, but we kept sending her back until she finally got it. It was clear across a lake! She has excellent handling, and can be worked with hand commands only or whistle commands only.
She's been on hundreds of hunts and we never lose any birds with her either. She's an incredible dog, and has an amazingly high level of trust in us.
She's great with anything. I think she'd do awesome.
My dog would probably not be ready for any field trials, she's only two and doesn't have a ton of experience. Though her handling is very good. I'd love to try one of those too.

She sounds fabulous! Watching a dog work the field is a thing of beauty. I don't have the stomach for hunting, and probably never will get into it (unless I marry someone who hunts), but it's amazing to see dogs do what they were bred for.

The coops will get cleaned out, while my dad is out hunting. Dottles is gonna get a spa treatment. He has scaly leg mites.

Where were they before? Why?

The cows were in a field not too far away, same with the bulls. Because it snowed a bunch here and it's time to start feeding them hay, and we'll leave them in the corral so we can wean the calves soon.

But I did take a recent picture with daddy Maxwell. He was not amused

And I'm jealous of your aviary
do you keep a lot of your different bird species together?
