Region 13

Training and handling Spike to his 500 point level has been a fun but wild ride! For a dog with such a keen nose and has been hunting pheasants all but his first 18 months of age while he trained with Kenny Trott-he's been a challenge to control. A good trainer once told me you don't want a dog that won't "break" now and then so I guess I want Spike, god bless him. I suppose I've shot close to a 1000 pheasants/grouse/quail over him and have loved every minute. Now that's all he needs to do and stay healthy. " Thanks HRC for all the good times!
