Will She or Won't She...That is the question

We took Jersey to the pond two days in a row to see if we could get her to swim so she can at least stand a chance at her Natural Ability test this weekend...after A LOT of work SHE SWAM on day 2!!!

Pointing the dead quail in the water...still not quite ready to go in.

If only her legs were a little longer she could reach it!

FINALLY!! She is so proud with her duck.

Jersey is in no way interested in retreiving the bumper from the water, but she will eventually go in for a dead bird. We are keeping our fingers crossed that she will do this on Saturday for the test :) If not, then we will try again in the spring and she will have one heck of a learning experience under her belt.

Next test: trying for her Junior Hunter in Kentucky October 24-25

Jersey's Outstanding Show Debut

Jersey had her first show in Murfreesboro, TN on September 26-27, 2009. She took Best of Breed both days, earning 2 points, and she just turned 6 months old! We are so proud of our Jersey Girl! Now the big question...which show to go to next :)

Practicing her stack...

Practicing some more...

On the move...

The unofficial Best of Breed picture...thanks to Eli :) This was the most stressful part of the entire day!! It's hard to stack a wiggly puppy who wants to sniff the scarecrows.

Training Days

We are getting Jersey ready for her first hunt test in October...she is trying for Natural Ability and we are keeping our fingers and toes crossed!! Below are some pictures from our latest NAVHDA training day. She did AWESOME!

Just let me catch that bird!!!
