Working the dog on pigeons 1-2x a week. It’s fun. He’s got a ways to go but my friend who has trained lots of setters really likes my pup and says he’ll be pretty good by fall as long as I keep coming to train
They got shrimp pellets that look like sog food just dried herring stuff soaked in herring oil. Also put in some Fisker's salmon pate and a salmon egg skein
The wife trims the back corners of the beard to cut down on the water bowl mess but he’s not a real fuzzball anyway. Just enough to not look like a shorthair but not so much to look high maintenance.
She has an uncle out by Minot so I think that’s where we’re headed this year. My buddy in Montana moved so that’s a bummer.
