Went out to Busch Wildlife this past Saturday with Jessie, cousin Jeff and his dog Bogey. The weather was beautiful after a week of doom and gloom rain and clouds. Had bluebird skies with temps in the 50s or 60s.

We did some basic retrieving drills and worked on the 2 dogs honoring each other’s retrieves. Both dogs did a good job, and you could tell that they are ready to go for the season. I sent Jessie on her first double retrieve, and she somehow managed to pull it off after a little help from me on the first dummy bird. It was pretty cool to see, but I know that I need to work on it more with her. She’s 4 years old, but seems like she still has good potential to learn.
