I caught Ranger on the laptop this morning scrolling through all of those pics. I asked him what the deal was, and he told me he wants to be John’s dog! Man, what a dog he might be with that much experience;) |

| Only 4 Ducks today but I will never forget it. Deke never ceases to amaze me. A lone Drake Bufflehead comes in and I kncock it down..It is swimming away...I send Deke..As Deke is chasing this Drake down..3 more Buffies head in. I knock 2 of them down of which it looked like Deke saw one of them.... Deke sticks his head under water on the Drakes 3rd dive and comes up with it by it's rear tail feathers and heads for the boat. We have a good wind and tide going although we are in the lee..He gets to the boat, he hands me the drake spins around and dives off the ladder and heads straight for number 2. No problem and heads back. This time he drops the duck on command spins around and scans the water. This duck is WAY OUT THERE now as you will see in the photo's. I give him a line and a Back command off he goes straight to the bird..Man did I have a big smile on my face. Here are the 4 ducks from today as well as a few sequence photo's of the triple retrieve... |

John, I hope your wife is in to Scrapbooking! You have a lot of memories in those pictures. Did you have any doubt that Deke could do it? He is a great dog, and lucky to have you as his owner. I cant wait to get out there and join you next year!!
I have a couple of pictures from my preserve hunt this past weekend I have been meaning to post. I will get them up soon. My son killed his first Chukar and pheasant.

Yeah and he couldn't have done it without you...if it would have been Joe shooting, Deke would have never been able to retrieve it!!  |
