Well Tito and I took "Donald" out of the fridge this afternoon and took the smelly, rancid mess out to play for a little while.
I was so impressed with him yesterday that I decided to challenge him a little bit. So I had my daughter park him on a stay about 50 yards from me, and then I whipped the floppy bird about 20 feet out into the soybean field.
I'd consider it "moderate" cover, it was heavier than where they were running the master hunter tests yesterday (labs) but I could still see him pretty well in it.
So, he came flying over to find the duck, and bounded thru the field, doing that bouncing that's just so darned cute.
Now here's the thing....he got the duck every time. We did it 4 times, my throwing it a bit further into the field each time. But I'm certain that he was LOOKING for it, not smelling for it.
Is this something that I need to address, and if so, how?
