It's certainly starting to feel like fall and a little too early for me. Silas and I have continued to train daily. He is growing and around 30 pounds now at 7 1/2 months old. I use the e-stim collar and am able to run him off lead now. We work on obedience almost daily in the yard. There have been scant few encounters with birds this summer. I joined Oak Ridge Pointers for a training ground. I also have shot the .410 over him while he retrieves. He is quite successful finding the dummies with scent I have placed across the fields. Saturday we are going to visit a farm loaded with pheasants. I can't wait to see how he does. A post will follow.
