Hi Karen,
Just wanted to share what Abby is up to for the warmer weather. We started
training earlier this spring for hunt tests. She is doing very well and marking
great. We have some water training to do with a boat yet and refine some things
before we will be ready to run junior hunt test. However we will be running a specialty event to see if we can get a
Working Certificate in September.
I have also entered Abby in Certificate of Conformation Assessment in July. I am very interested in how she will do and the event be a learning experince
for me if nothing else.
We are so proud and happy with Abby. She shows up some of the other HOT
hunters since she seems to be so focused and smart. Different drive but she
loves the field work and we love the game!!! Her obedience is coming along nice
too. We take lessons from a retired obedience judge and we might be ready for a
title by winter?!!
Her health is great, she is getting 50% raw or barf diet and has come along
really nice. Her coat is just thick and beautiful. There is not one item of
food she will not eat. Even brussel spouts...We found a pet food
deli and he grinds all the meat and bones and organs and them sells them. It is
so nice and we just make patties and freeze them. All this diet stuff has been a
learning experience for us. I continue to research what might be best for her
and I love the information on her health and life.
Have a great summer and please email back if you could.
Peggy, David, and Abby
