Winning Weekend for Marshall

Marshall (green collar) & CH Dylan

***
We couldn't be prouder of Laura and Marshall, Grayhart's In From the Storm, winning back to back shows this weekend for a total of two points, going Best of Winners and Best of Opposite. Marshall has always been owner handled by Laura and now only needs one point to finish his AKC Championship title. This gorgeous boy is only 13 1/2 months old!

Congratulations Laura & Marshall!

Sunday Hike at Black Rock Forest

Hard to believe that this beautiful waterfall located in the pristine Black Rock Forest, is only 50 miles from New York City.
The Forest features dramatic topography with over 1000 feet of relief, numerous lakes and streams, and high habitat and species diversity.
Of course, our dogs just think that it is a great place to run and swim. That's Wotan carrying his all-time favorite toy, a floating Kong on a rope, which he carried for the entire 4 hour hike and went crazy retrieving in the water! Jam loved running through the woods and took a short swim but was quite surprised with the lake when she ran after Wotan and ended up in the water! We'll be working on her swimming skills this summer. Trixie had to stay home as she is in season.

Bird Brain

Jersey had a fun day of field training with a group of Weims and loved the quail.

Puppy on Point!

Pigeon, did someone say pigeon?
Trudy's first exposure to birds was quite exciting

Love this point with the rear leg up!

Where ya going little birdy?

Trudy thought the pigeon was the coolest thing and showed lots of natural ability her first time out in the field. We look forward to seeing her develop in this area.

Trudy: 14 weeks old and getting so big!

What a long tongue you have!

Jersey - Fun in the Field

Jersey, Grayhart's Goin Someplace Special, did just that and spent a day in the field on Wednesday, learning how to retrieve, point birds and play in the water with her BFF, a GSP named Emma.

Awesome retrieve for a 3 month old puppy! Emma and Jersey
Jersey's not yet ready to swim but is quite willing to wait for Emma to get close enough for the big steal...

I know there's a bird in there!

Marshall's Awesome Major Weekend!
