Seminar at the South East Spring Sports Show

Here is a picture of me working " Buttons N Bows " on the Barrel, at the Atlanta sports show, sponsored by Quail UnLimited, and Safari Club International. Sitting on the front row are Hall of Famer, Freddie Epp and his wife.
"Allie" was 9 months old, and had not had any yard work, or barrel work. We did 3 seminars a day for three days, and at the last session, we turned her loose, no checks of any kind, no electronics, let her point a bird, which I flushed, shot, and turned to answer questions from the audience, when 'Captin' Freddie, asked me was I telling the truth about her age, and previous training.  I grinned, told him it was all true, why? He said she has not moved a muscle! I turned around and she was still "Jacked Up", like there were still birds there.  BUT THERE WERE NOT ANY BIRDS LEFT.  It impressed a lot of people.  Our barrel program really works.
This was the last show the late great Terry Smith, Sequyah Kennels, and I were able to do together..  Terry died less than a year later from cancer.  There is not a day that goes by , that I do not miss him.  He was by far, the best young dog man I was ever around.  He had : kind " hands .
