My new pup

[zoli 16ga.]

First pics of my PP at the trainer in Idaho, 8wks old. He's out of Cedarwoods in Idaho. He already retrieves, and appears to be an 'out going' pup. He'll be ready for opening day grouse season!

Congrats. Enjoy.

Name went from kaiser, to hunter, to finally ....... Chase. I'll pick him up in Idaho last week in July as a well started dog, ready to shoot over.

Nice pup and its great you have a trainer. Will he or she be mentoring you as well ?

[zoli 16ga.]

Thanks. Regarding mentoring, the trainer is in constant contact with me and will be sending vids every week on progress etc. Appearently he has one of the best 'puppy' programs. I will spend a day or so with him when I pick him up to review his program with my pup. My grouse mentor, also is well versed in raising and training a good upland dog, and has all the gear. He has a vizsla that he's turned into a pretty good grouse machine. He will be giving me constant tips and assistance...I'm sure. I will be at the May NAVHDA training session to see the goings on, and maybe get set up to test him in the fall. I have had black labs, and trained them for field trial tests a couple decades ago, so I'm familiar with the basics. OH.....hello youtube!

But of course, with the pup comming out of Cedarwoods, and the cash I'm spending....he will be naturally broke, steady to the flush and shot, find me new covets while sitting on the front seat of my car, do 200yard blind retrieves, and let me know when ducks are overhead! He will be six months old by then, what more can a guy expect
