Love running pups

There is nothing better than running young dogs and watching them start to really get it! I took Boo and KC out this morning here behind the house and they really did a nice job!! They ran 3 different rabbits and circled all of them. The 2nd one they really burned up, I stood in the middle of the field and watched them go around me a few times without many mistakes. I was very pleased with how they ran for 10 and 8 month old pups. They also do a nice job together so I'll probably run them this way quite a bit. Boo seems to do a better job getting the rabbits up and running but KC is a better check dog right now and is also more independent (even though she's younger). They both handled really well also, KC always listens very well but Boo can be hard headed-today she did a nice job. I'll try to get a video of these two running sometime soon and I also need to get Copper on tape. I know that Pete has been running him a good bit too and he's also coming along nicely-he's the wild child and is super hard-headed but in my experience those types tend to make tough hounds as they mature!

In other news, Amber should be expecting pups. We bred her to Dozer and should have a litter of Patch pups in mid-June. Time to get the whelping pen cleaned out and ready.
