Dog Training Seminar with Michael Stewart of Wildrose Kennels
Seminar I, July 30 - August 1, 2010
Blixt & Co. is proud to present the opportunity for an exclusive dog training seminar with Michael Stewart from Wildrose Kennels at Lazy Triple Creek.
As I feel that the Dog Handlers at Lazy Triple Creek, have one of the most important jobs, in order to fulfill and meet our guests expectations, as well as make a mark of what a great shoot is all about.
GREAT FLYING BIRDS - WELL SHOOTING GUNS - EXTRAORDINARY DOG WORK
We would therefore would like to invite all our dog handlers from past years, as well as new dog handlers that would like to be a part of this great tradition, to participate in these special dog training seminars.
Please review the seminar program outline below, and you can find more information regarding Wildrose Kennels, at their website www.uklabs.com.
With kind regards,
Lars Magnusson
The Critical Role of Dog Handlers
"The purpose of the picker is to locate and retrieve all game downed by the guns. A lost bird is a disservice to the shoot and disrespectful to the game bird. Retrievers must be outstanding game finders used to push deep into cover or timber and search thoroughly with exceptional scent work. Steadiness is imperative... no picker or dog shall interfere with the shoot. Good tracking skills for wounded birds are extremely important. Following each of the 6 daily drives, several dogs are left to sweep the grounds by quartering/searching for birds not retrieved. The goal... every bird hit is recovered for the gun." - Michael Stewart
