Brandy backing Tick. |
Brandy is still recovering from a procedure and is only allowed yard work at least for another week or so. So I went out and planted some pigeons for her and took her out on the checkcord. I was halfway down the yard when a big white dog streaked by and then pointed Brandy’s pigeon. It was Tick, one of the six and 1/2 month old Bud Bros. He had broken out of his Kennel even though I had put extra snaps on the door to keep him in (it wasn’t his first escape). I flushed the bird from its remote launcher and he stood for the flush and shot. He only released when I walked up behind him with Brandy. I took Brandy on for two finds on her own while Tick zigged when we zagged. He then went back and pointed the pigeon trap. I didn’t have a spare lead with me so I walked Brandy up to the kennel put her up grabbed a Wonder Lead and then went back to find Tick still standing pointing the empty pigeon trap. I slipped the lead over his head and then walked him back to his kennel which I secured with the extra snap and a couple of heavy duty zip ties. That seem to work as he did not make another appearance as I worked the other dogs. Here’s a bad video of our youngest puppy Dottie pointing a pigeon on her own.
