BLUE
Blue is currently our oldest dog and is not part of our breeding program. Still, he has been a great bird dog. Over the years he and I have covered many miles looking for wild birds--grouse, woodcock, quail, and pheasants. He is so much fun to hunt with in that he has a knack for finding birds and never bumping them.
Blue is quite a bit slower now. However, he still plays an active role in training. As it turns out, he is the perfect speed for our young dogs when they first start working with a brace mate, and he will hold a point for backing drills through any interference. He likes it all.
