Matotoland kennel GSP's - HPR Hunting dogs

The  Matotoland Kennel Training Day was a great success - we had birds everywhere. The big dogs had the most finds. Bullet and Dollar are so much older than Dixie - yet she already shows a lot of potential. Dixie was born the 3 January 2012 and arrived from breeder Charles Rose in Texas 4 weeks ago. She had some finds and her backing skills are great.

Every dog has his day .....

'Wildrose Dollar' did not have a choice but to honor Wildrose Dixie at just 4 months of age - and at only 2 weeks in South Africa! As the saying goes - Every Dog has his Day!

There Goes My Last Dollar - Dollar & Dixie

The day started slow with a slight breeze that carried the cool winter afternoon air. Dollar had a good find but struggled to actually corner the birds - the grass was short and the birds were running.

'There Goes My Last Dollar - Dixie' ran well. She has only been in SA for 2 weeks now. Starting to show her style - we had a point and now she shows she can back too.

Patrys working some birds. She has learnt to slow down and work carefully. This will be our first year with them in trials - our first one coming up 31 May.

There Goes My Last Dollar - Dixie

This morning we took the new pups from Texas out to do just what pups of 4 months do - run everywhere and sniff everything! We had a very good day and our big dogs and they did well - with some very good finds from Jesse - also a new member to our hunting squad. The biggest surprise of the day was little Dixie pointing what we thought was just scent and produced a bird! Both new Texan pups are looking like something special.
