Xena's 1st Dove hunt---CAUTION: dead bird in pic (we don't eat live ones)
Sept. 1st is the dove hunting opener around here. This is my yellow lab, Xena, on one of her retrieves. This is her first season and I was VERY pleased with her performance. Her very first retrieve was out in the pond about 20 feet away and she leaped into the pond, swam to the bird and brought it right back and dropped it in my hand. She retrieved 9 of the 10 that I got. It was her sister's first hunt also and she did just as good. Gonna have a lot of good years with these dogs.
