First Pheasant Hunt

[welsh]

It was a lot of excitement for Jake and made me realize after a long hunting season we need to get back on track with training as his steadiness was an issue early on in the hunt.

Well, hunting season's always good for that. Tough to keep them steady when you're hunting given that you can't handle the dog and shoot at the same time.

Re the ears I find keeping them trimmed and using a wire curry comb works pretty good. I crush the burrs and then comb them out. The longer the ear hair is the harder it's going to be.

His ears are still awful. Been brushing and putting the mane and tail to it but not to much avail. He's never got them like this before

looks like a great day,
this was one of the deciding factors for me when picking a breed, the burrs in the long hair.
