Playing Catch Up

It's incredible to think that these kids are heading to their new homes already!  I've gotten so far behind that I'm not even going to attempt to get it all.  Here are a few puppy pics to keep you all wanting more.







 
 
While incredibly adorable, these monsters are a handful.  We started with group walks up through the grouse woods, but would inevitably lose one that was feeling spry.  So they walk one or two at a time now.   They are heading to new homes all over the country this week and we can't wait to watch their potential unfold. 
 
Last week we started helping them along the way.  First thing in the morning while they are hungry and their senses heightened, we spread a couple cups of kibble through the grass.  This gets them using their noses and bumps the timeframe to a true scent point up.

 
 
Now we get to go from a lot of dogs creating work to one dog creating LOTS of work.  Shai has a NAVHDA Utility Test in August and two legs of her AKC Senior Hunter in September.  Since we gave up six weeks of training to the pups, it's go time now!  We'll be doing two-a-days, two to three times a week until we're perfect.  Well, nearly perfect will do!
 
 
We'll be introducing our puppies new families this weekend!  Congratulations!!!
