Fletcher retrieving a Pukeko

The only shot I managed to take with the camera of the brids we got this morning (the rest were taken with the 20gauge) Fletch proved his eyes work, on a blind retrieve, he really showed his trust in me when I sent him back. He hadn't seen or been near me when I shot this bird, but headed out on his back command, and came back with a mouthful of feathers. Happy Happy owner. We hope all the rest of the Cesky Fousek Families had as sucessful morning as we did.

Fletcher has a thing for water. Unfortunately there were no birds in the water to search for, but still had a great time snoofing around looking for some.

Here we are, our first week under our belt, the dog didn't wander off, the owner didn't get lost. Who looks happier?

Navigating the swing bridge, Fletch proved it to be no obstical, and didn't flinch once at the uneven motion, including the weight of his pack.

Seriously looking for an interesting smell
