My Hunting Dog Training Blog

Last night we tested our new Brittany puppy's pointing and retrieving instincts using a frozen quail. Since it was well below freezing outside we opted to do the training session on the kitchen floor. We were quite pleased to see Annie get very interested in our little frozen quail immediately. We teased her a bit and then tossed the quail across the floor to see if Annie would retrieve it. She was a little tentative at first and picked it up by the legs. But, the next couple of throws she took it full in her mouth and brought it right back to us. It was fun to see such a young puppy get excited about a frozen quail. I can't wait to see what she will do with a live bird.
