Yard training is not too exciting but its about the only activity with bird dogs in the summer. But one item of activity; Bill Henke now co-owns Montera's Rock with Phil Gould of Bernardsville, NJ and Rock's name has been changed to Keystone's Red Rock.
Quite often we get asked the question, "where is that High Definition litter?" They are out there doing good in all kinds of conditions across the country. We know Rock and Ted for sure will be showing up at some trials next season. And attached above is a picture of 'Lu' owned by Dale Herndon in MI. 'Lu' is a littermate to Montera's Rock (Keystone's Red Rock) and Mike Spies's Wenaha's High Rider (Ted). Dale has not been field trialing 'Lu' but enjoys training her on birds in the back yard and working her on wild birds around his camp in the northern LP of Michigan and says she is doing great as his hunting dog and has contemplated a try at trialing. Combined, these three littermates have been 'wild' bird hunted on woodcock, grouse, chukar, sharptails, hungarian partridge, pheasant, valley quail, scaled quail and OK/TX bobwhite quail. All wild birds and all with great success in addition to their field trial wins.
