A Good Day Out On My Retriever Training Day in Norfolk...  September 28th, 2017 Bacon roll in hand and we were off to Hargham Shoot Retriever Training. It was a slightly wet start, however by the end of the day the sun was shining and Snipe and I had had a fantastic day. We started with walked up partridge in the sugar beet. Never easy, with the noise of the beet whistling in Snipe's ears, however I was confident he would get his head down and I am pleased to say he did. I was chuffed. His first 3 retrieves were clean and for a 14 month old dog and only his 2nd time out on game, for me, he was going well. Then we had a slight wobble on his 4th retrieve when I had to call him back as he took the wrong line (or I sent him on the wrong path, I am never afraid to say its the handler and the dog on the training day, remember). So We realigned and off we went again, this time, mission accomplished! The retrieve was a success and it was time for lunch. Happy Days! After
