I would like to give you a short update on the mini
trackers (Ollie and Cabela). The weather here in North Carolina is starting to
warm up pretty quickly. We are running practice tracks every few weeks to keep
Ollie and Cabela in shape and in good practice for the up and coming hunting
season. They both are doing very well with their training lines and they both
have decided since the warm weather has hit that creek crossings are the best
things ever now.
Cabela has been a little cautious of water since I got her in
November but now that it is consistently around 85 degrees she quickly changed
her opinion on getting wet. She does swim more like an otter than a dog and
sometimes she worries me a little because she will actually twist and go under
water. I am not sure if she is just a poor swimmer or this is her swimming
method. I am pretty sure Ollie has fins on her somewhere! If there is a puddle
Ollie is going to get in it. I find this very interesting seeing how they are
both from the same litter but have such different personalities. I enjoy
watching them and at some times find it funny how they react differently to the
same situation.
In between tracking I decided to teach the girls a little about
retrieving. I have purchased a few books and educated myself on retriever
training. It is going pretty well and they really enjoy it. Just maybe I will
have me some mini retrievers for dove season in September! We still have a lot
of training if we are going to get to that point. Well I better get back to
work!
