I have had Silas for a week as of today. It was 33 degrees and windy here in Erie today but we went to the game lands anyway. Silas has begun to quarter ahead of me fairly well given he is only 10 weeks old. I am able to relay on him returning to me with either my call or the whistle. He is also starting to move through a lot of cover on our walks. He checks back very often as well. We flushed another woodcock so I walked in to the flush point with him and he really worked over the scent. I believe I am going to introduce him to some birds while he is on the check cord, in the next week. I took a retriever dummy along today. I tossed it 20-30 yards and he went out, grabbed it and returned it to hand for me. I'll work on him releasing better in the future. Right now he is sleeping in a sunny spot on the kitchen floor.
