Alan - Tripp is looking amazing. I can't believe he is as young as he is. Great job behind that camera - whatever rig you are using is really keeping it steady and just makes for a very pleasurable viewing experience. I will be returning to watch this video often. Are you running any AFTCA trials this fall?
You need to decide if it is ethical to train on wild birds, disturb nesting birds and habitat. Other adjacent states are passing legislation against this. Do the ends justify the means? Are there ways to accomplish your objectives?
Steve: Thanks for your comment. As bird hunters we are very aware of, and supportive of, bird conservation efforts. Summer camp is held in late summer which is outside of the spring nesting season for this very reason.
Was the trainer using the flank collar on any of those points? It's amazing how fast he was holding point and no longer chasing.
Hi Lisa - Thanks for your questions. Yes, Tripp had a flank collar on. He was in the breaking process at the time.
Nice! Incredible scenery and great dogs!
Great series. It's a treat to follow Tripp as he grows into a great dog...
