Skeet, the five month old Brittany spaniel, was back late yesterday for his second visit. Of course
his owner Tim was in tow. I planted a couple of pigeons in launchers in a
neighboring big field and then we let Skeet go. He was off and hunting in a
flash.
It didn't take him long to find the first one, which he
barreled right in on. We picked him and to place him back a few feet, then
steadied him. On the bird’s release he took off like a bullet and we praised
him as he dashed about the field, looking up and following the pigeon.
After he settled down for a bit we led him toward the second
pigeon and when he got a nose full of scent he pointed, then moved in a step and
pointed again. We backed him up a bit and steadied him, then launched the bird.
Skeet took off chasing the bird and wearing the biggest grin I've ever seen on
a dog. Enthusiasm is building!
