Larsen is nonplussed at the news that he is heading back to Kamp Kimmy.
My schedule opens up the opportunity (as we like to say in the business world) for Larsen to head back to Kamp Kimmy for a few weeks. Kamp Kimmy, of course, is Pocotaligo Kennels, where Kim Parkman trains her champion hunting Boykin Spaniels. She decided that she had room for a big lumbering Welsh Springer Spaniel.
Aki and I met Kim at the Watkinsville, Ga dog show. A small, but very inviting show where Penny's Palmer won Best of Breed and Marta's Niklas won BOB the day before and picked up several points. Niklas is from the same litter as Spike, who spent some time at Kim's kennel, and has matured into a handsome pup, who himself is heading for a fast finish. Kim had some very nice things to say about Niklas's focus and concentration. I think she wanted to get her paws onto that sweet little bird dog and get him into the field where he belongs.
At the kennel, Larsen will learn some obedience and, of course, fetching & retrieving. Over and over. A perfect spring break for the little spaniel.
Marta and Niklas enjoy a break on Sunday.
(L to R) Aki, Mary, MaryAnne (hidden) and Kim give Chase a day at the spa.
