"So yesterday I was able to take Pooh, Elton and Thelmalou (my training ROCK) out for a good romp in the woods and then over to the hunt test grounds in search of left over quail. WE HAD A BLAST!!! Pooh is a horseback ranging dog- he made a few casts at least ½ a mile away and I even saw him chasing a herd of deer from a distance. The kewl thing is he always comes back to check in. He tightens up his range beautifully in the woods and if he can’t find me- he lets out a bark or a whine so that I can call him to me.
After the woods romp we went over to the Hunt test grounds. Pooh was tired at that point and didn’t run as big. Thelmalou was a maniac and found the first few birds. Pooh’s first point was on a very visible quail that Thelmalou had already found. Then after a little more time, we found a bird that Lou and I had worked on earlier. She was back on point, and I had Pooh on leash backing her. Then I brought him in closer and as it was dark I knew he was scent pointing this bird."
