Diane and I took a walk on the property yesterday with Farli and Ritka, our Vizslas.

Ritka is my second Vizsla the links below tell of some of her adventures in life.

This afternoon, I decided to try Ritka on chuckar without using the launchers. I’ve slowly been working to teach Ritka to be steady on her birds. Usually we use bird launchers which lets me control when the birds flush. But someday we need to graduate to loose birds. I put out 3 chucker. I put […]

About 1pm on the Sunday after Thanksgiving we went out to train. We had a nice breeze today from the SW. It is sunny and about 40 F. I had put out two chukar in launchers. We are back to launchers with harness and check cord today. Wesley is going to shoot for me today. […]

The Dachshund, Ritka and I went to agility tonight. Ritka worked on weaves. Our mini-doxie learned to go through a straight tunnel for the first time. Cary helped me do recalls through the tunnel. We started with the tunnel squished very short than gradually lengthened it. We put her up for a bit. Later in […]
