Bakers Farm Shoot
Still not feeling great so don't go again. Such a shame really, all the training I put into the dogs through out the rest of the year. But Risque needs a decent ride today, and I need to bring a haylage bale down into the yard as well as my normal chores.

Sorrel
Took her out into the field to do a few retrieves on her new dummy. I am letting her run in but she really is good, and always brings it back with a perfect present. I did manage to get her to stay in the sit while I threw the dummy behind me so that was good. I just need to get the balance right between training and fun. I certainly don't want her to get bored so I am hesitant about putting too much steadiness in at this age.
However, she still hasn't been on a lead and heelwork is non existent.


Out tonight for a drinks party.
