Sarah and I drove from Erie to Frederick, Maryland to pick up Silas (jazz de Cache d'Or) on Saturday, March 29. Silas was born on January 23, 2014. We met the breeder, Bill Kelley, at his gun shop in Frederick, Maryland, to get Si. Bill was very helpful over the past few weeks as we waited for Si to be old enough to come home. Bill has some fantastic dogs that perform in both the field and the show ring. Silas was friendly and curious from the start. As he will be my first attempt at training a pointing dog, I hope he has ample natural talent. My primary interest will be in hunting American Woodcock and Ruffed Grouse with Si and my 16 gauge L.C. Smith shotgun. This blog will follow the progress of Silas and me as we learn together. Every now and then we may be side tracked by fly fishing or dragonflies too. I hope you enjoy reading about Silas's progress as much as I will in training him. God bless.
