    Allie Mae - update

    Aye Mates,
    Just an update on ALLIE MAE, a now 17 month old yellow British Labrador Retriever out of the breeding of HRCH UH TTF CRAIGHORN KIFFIN TRAD SH and BIRCH BRANCH MAGGIE. BOTH sire TRAD and dam MAGGIE are of selectively bred British bloodlines. ALLIE MAE was one of seven fine pups whelped from that litter.

    ALLIE MAE was personally trained by meself with her owner specifying he wanted her trained with a focus on upland bird hunting. This past Saturday was the field debut for ALLIE MAE and her first hunting season. ALLIE MAE distinguished herself whilst afield by quartering nicely through heavy bird cover, hunting closely within range o' the guns for more efficient potential of connecting with birds flushed for the gunners, and she was highly responsive to verbal commands, gestural cues, and whistle signals making her a true joy to work with whilst afield. ALLIE MAE is a strong marker, show exhibits lots of bird drive, and is doing nice single and double marked retrieves on both land and water.

    During Saturday's hunt, ALLIE MAE flushed a total of four pheasants and one chukar partridge. ALLIE MAE made fine retrieves of the chukar, and three of the four pheasant she flushed, a classic presentation to the hand of her owner Bill on each as pictured below. The fourth pheasant took a bad hit and flew out toward a roadway making it too dangerous to send ALLIE MAE to make recovery of that bird. A search by one member of the gunning party recovered that bird.

    ALLIE MAE'S first actual hunt was a total joy to watch for all parties involved and especially so for her owner Bill as well as meself as her trainer. It is clear that ALLIE MAE was well prepared former first real hunt and that all of the many hours of working training set up's had prepared her well for the practical application of those skill sets developed.

    It is me hope that ALLIE MAE and her owner / handler Bill enjoy many wonderful years together as a team whilst hunting upland birds.
