When dreams come true

[Al Hansen]

This is Cinder, the last pup from Habi's litter who is now with her new family. The owner is a duck hunter who likes hunting as much as I do. So prior to the pup leaving our home, I decided to grab my camera and one of the teal wings that I have for training just to see if she is one of those "motivated" dogs. It didn't take long to figure that one out.

As soon as I looked at this shot on the computer, all I could think of was, Chaco, her dad. He always seems to show up in his litters some place!

I think Cinder, who is a 7 week old pup, will do just fine.

Thanks, Jim.
I'm betting that ten years from now you will be in the boat with your son on opening day. Seems to me I read some place where pups can extend your life---I would be a firm believer in that.

Great photos Al, they really show the pup's enthusiasm! It's always exciting to watch a young pup take to birds.

Do you ever have an ugly lab puppy?
I think that dog will hunt.

Thanks for those comments, John. The new owner is really excited about this pup and I don't blame him---so was I!

Well, John, you might have something there, but then again I can't set mom aside and you know that she aka Habi is a light cream colored lab who is one awesome retriever. However, she does throw great blacks. There is no denying that.

Jode, I'll bet when you take Brook out to see what she does with duck wings it will amaze you. Good luck with that cutie!

Well, Greg, I'm glad you liked that set of shots. Cinder's owner has promised me pictures of when he trains her and then next year when he takes her out to hunt---more pictures.

Hey, Tim, I don't think so but then when I have looked at duck hunting dogs of many species, I have always seen either cute ones or good looking ones, just like your Deuce!

Speaking of him, doesn't your pheasant season start soon?
