Hi Bob and Laura,

 

I thought I would update you on Tiz, other than being spoiled, she is really doing well, adjusted and becoming my best friend.

 

Took her and we to a hunting preserve in Eastern South Dakota.  It was about a 1200 acre preserve and more wild birds than planted.  Tiz did real well as she rock solid pointed two wild birds, I shot them for her, and it is amazing the desire it put in her to hunt after being on the birds.  She didn't think she could pick up the down birds but she did try to drag them back to me---by the neck.  I am sure the retrieving will come with age.  But, the trip to put her way ahead for our hunting trips next year.  She also, for a young dog, listened and handled very well to me in the field.

 

I am enjoying her very much.  Take care and we will talk some time.
