Bree's Fun Weekend, Part Two

The much awaited Part Two of Bree's Fun Weekend:

On Sunday May 17th, Bree, Rainey & I drove up to the
Ottawa Field Trial Grounds in Eagle, WI so we could 
hang out at the Central Wisconsin Vizsla Club hunt test.
I wanted to expose Bree to the sights, sounds and smells
of a hunt test. There was lots to be exposed to. She saw
her very first horse (and discovered that she REALLY likes 
horse poop), heard the pops of gunfire from the Master/Senior
field (didn't even notice) and was very curious about the
fluttering in the bird box.

And the other cool part was that Bree had a reunion with 
her brother Dante! They were happy to see each, though 
it's hard to say if they recognized each other. Both are 
such happy dogs!

After things wrapped up in the Junior field, John and I took
Bree and Dante for a run. I don't think there were many quail 
left in the field, but they sure had fun running together.



When all of the tests were done, Bree got her first real 
introduction to live quail. A club member planted a couple
for her and let her find them. While she had always had an 
interest in birds, this definitely turned something ON in her.
When she got crated while another dog took their turn, she
started to bark her head off. She wanted back in the field!!!

My friend Sue snapped these pictures of Bree with her new
"friend." We look forward to getting Bree back on birds 
real soon.
