Spring testing time is here and Last weekend was the VJP test. The first of three tests that test our patience and our dogs. We have been trying to prepare the pups as well as ourselves for this excursion but we were ill prepared.
Lola and Jager decided that they didn't really feel like tracking that day and Lola is somewhat of a bunny hater i guess. Could have been due to the few rabbits there were and some of them were those pesky Fast Black Rabbits that either leave no scent trail or are just to dang fast to tell which way they really ran!
We had hard time training for the Rabbit track as well due to low populations, and just didn't concentrate on it to much. Suppose we should have tried a little harder and used a few more hot dogs. Who knew.
Everything else was well, search and pointing was there. Cooperation was there. That was a big concern on Lola's end and she did great there. Jager pointed great, even pointed a runner which he eventually broke on gave chase through a barbed wire fence and caught the bird! Don't know how he couldn't have!
Sunday we sat back to watch Nik run his test, which went real good, qualified for Armbruster! Good job and Congrats Ron.
All in all it was a beautiful weekend, great weather, good friends and a little marinating went on with the "Harlem Crew". Thanks for the fun guys. Now we can move on to Force Fetch and prep work for the HZP. Congrats go out to the 20 dogs that also qualified for the Armbruster. Hopefully i see you there. Great Job
I myself am in serious thought about running the VGP this year so i need to get some work done.
Grab the double and some poppers it's going to be a long summer.!!!!
