Spent the day at a local hunt test to watch some friends run and to watch 'Seasoned', our next step. Anyway, had a good laugh and wanted to share it with you.
A young man we had met at other tests was running his Boykin in Started. The little dog is a brown bullet on land but hates the water. Anyway, the entry for the water retrieve was on about a 3 foot high bank, with thick weeds etc. He sent the dog and it kinda slithered in the water,
retrieved his duck and got back to the bottom of the bank. The Boykin got the duck to the edge of the land, hopped out and then pulled the duck up the bank, inch by inch to the top and then picked it up to deliver to hand.
I have never seen a dog drag a duck up a bank before!! It was so funny and cute. Guess wet ducks are really heavy for little dogs and mouths!
