Howdy friends!  Just thought I'd let you know that everything is going great at training camp.  I'm doing good and eating a bunch!  Man!, this bird work is hard work!  It seems I may have a little problem with chasing birds.  I used to point them and hold, but chasing them is soooo much more fun!  Stay tuned for updates.

Training Daze

Well, the time has finally come for me to grow up a bit and learn more about birds.  On Thursday, we woke up and I thought it would just be another day at home.  Boy was I wrong!  After breakfast we went on a quick run and I noticed Mom loading up my travel kennel.  She went into the house, so I jumped into my kennel ready to go!  Had I known what my day was about to become, I probably wouldn't have jumped in!  Next thing I know we are at the airport and some guy is checking me and my kennel out.  My Mom talked to him for a couple of minutes and then let me out.  I gave her a big hug cuz Mom didn't look to happy!  She told me she loved me, to be careful and that she'll miss me.  After a loooong hug, I got back in my kennel and they secured my door.  I think things went a little too fast for Mom :(  Before I knew it she was leaving, and a large man picked my kennel up and put me on a cart.  Two plane rides later and a long day, I arrived in Florida to meet up with my trainers.  So here I am in Florida for now, living out the next chapter in my life.  I hope it's a short chapter so I can go home soon ;)

So here is my question of the day!!!!!  Drum roll please!  If you are a new, inexperienced owner of an AKC registered dog, do you know of all the events that are held that you could participate in?
