Steady, boy

This weekend is our first go for a Master Hunter leg.

The little dog has the pieces.  He has flashes where everything is there.  But it is not consistent.  He has not assembled the pieces into a coherent whole, and, as a result, he can explode at any time.  He'll sit on pigeon.   But, sitting to a flushed chukar is another bird altogether.  That difference may be because I've trained him for years on chukar while letting him have is head.  In contrast, he didn't like, and we didn't use, pigeon much at all when he was a pup.

The weekend looks to be bright, sunny, and cool in northeastern Alabama.  Perfect for spectators and participants.  Maybe a little warm for dogs, so we'll have a lot of water around.

Larsen and I look forward to stepping onto the field.
