Since my last post Nellie got her AKC Senior Title. Yesterday at 15 months she flushed and retrieved to hand her first woodcock. Opening day for ducks is this Saturday and she will experience her first of many waterfowl hunts.

This is fantastic!! What a great photo too! Good luck with the ducks!

Opening day ducks with Nellie. 15 months old and the start to a long career.

Hunted Howland island today with Nellie and Lucy.

Hunted Howland island today again. 3 hours of walking but my labs Lucy and Nellie found two pheasants.

Nellie turns 2 on June 26th 2020. She passed her first AKC Master Hunt Test this past weekend in Ohio. The master test is no walk in the park. Three triple retrieves, one land, one water and one land/water, an honor while another dogs runs, a walk up to one of the triples, a double blind, a single blind with a diversion shot. Marks in Master can not exceed 150 yards. Pretty proud of my little girl, she is hell on ducks and ready for another duck season. She is the dog on the left. She needs 4 more Master ribbons to title as a Master Hunter.

Little Miss Nellie finished up the summer hunt test season with 3 UKC Finished passes and 2 AKC Master Hunter passes. She's ready to go for her second hunting season. At just over 2 she is a talented dog and a joy to own.
