DART, AT BIRD-DOG CAMP

Dart attended bird-dog-camp in Winnebago Illinois....at the home of Randy & Sue Boggs.

Randy broke Dart to wing and shot in 19 weeks. In less than a year after being broke, Dart

Earned a three point major in Amateur Gun Dog
Placed Fourth in the 2006 National Amateur Field Championships

Dart's training-mobile. Randy's ATV is set-up for getting into the fields and running with the dogs. Dart's kennel is the one on the back right.


	Randy and Dart at the break-a-way.
Dart (by the green machine), breaking away. Sue (other dog) ran the other way.
Randy, styling-up Dart on point.

I get to work with Dart too.....once she has the behavior down, I get to see if she will do it with me too.

Don't we both point well?

Dart, backing Sue (not Sue Boggs). This is the hardest part of her training. Honoring the other dog's point is difficult for many dogs.

Bird-Dog-Camp is tough work.

At the end of the day, Dart relaxs on the couch with her sister, Quinn.

Can you tell which one is Dart?

She's on the right.
