Spring puppies

Let me introduce you to Jackson, "Shadow Mountain Jack x A Fancy Shadow".  This picture was taken after he had been "Rock n Rollen" for 20 minutes.  He has such a determination to run, he jumped through the creek, instead of taking time to cool off or get a drink.  He is 9 months old, and looks like his range might just be all age. 
He does have a good nose, and hit these pigeons hard , even though he was very hot.  He never caught up with his breathing, or cooled off his body temps, through out all his standing here for about 5 minutes.  I finally flew a bird for him, and took him to the kennel. 
Our hope is that he gets smarter , and slows down as he grows older.  He is big, stout, and with a few changes in his mentality, should make a good one.  We have his sister, also, who we think could maybe just with some luck, become a great one.
This has been a good breeding, as several of these pups show promise.  We also have a second breeding on the ground, and you can see them on another post.   bud

Thought I would show you our 9 week old "Jack x Fancy " pups.  they enjoy a run in the hay meadows.  We have been planting pigeons for them on the pvc poles, and in crates.  They are learning to use their noses to find birds , and in doing so learning that birds are along edges.
Yesterday we flew the birds for them for the first time.  They loved it!!!!!  "Jake" has always been satisfied to back the others, but when we started flying them, he wanted to be "up close and personal " with those pigeons. 
These pups seem to have a lot of point in them, and independence.  Very seldom see all three pups on birds at the same time.  They love to pack run, but seem to hunt independently.  Two weeks ago, Billy Sue was the star.  Yesterday Gus was the one.  Funny how they change from day to day.
