Results are in for Mila...

Today we received Mila's premlinary grading back from the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals). She came back "Good" for hips and "Normal" for both elbows. This is great news. But why do this at 9 months old when it just has to be repeated at 24 months of age or later?! Mila was the only girl in the litter and there are hopes that she will have her own pups down the road - so screening her now gives a little insight into what to expect when it's time for her final evaluation, and it gives the go ahead to invest a bit more into her training with birds and so forth.

Montana or bust...

This year we were lucky enough to spend a little over a week in Montana chasing birds...a couple of days in Eastern Montana and then nearly a week in Bozeman catching the end of the September blue grouse season. The Bozeman trip was Fowler's first time to hunt blue grouse and he had a great time. Learning the game of the forest birds wasn't easy for Fowler, but he had a nice point on a single and a couple of nice retrieves. The weather has started changing here and there and we were blessed with some lovely fall colors and cool temperatures. Overall, a great trip. Please enjoy the photos :)

This past month we completed Tule's health testing and it's good news to share! She has OFA Excellent Hips and Normal Elbows. We are looking forward to enjoying this upcoming hunting season with her and in 2019 will plan a litter with her.  The sire is likely to be our Fowler. Please check here for any updates and in the meantime look forward to (hopefully) lots of bird photos in the coming months...

Time for an update...

Well a lot has gone on here since March! The babies all went to their new homes and Duck Creek Drents has a new home as well! We have re-located to Spokane, Washington. It's definitely a change for the better - better weather, better bird hunting and better opportunities in general. The dogs are loving the cooler weather and dog-friendly outdoor areas. 

Where the pups ended up...

Mila is co-owned and splits her time between Spokane, WA and Cincinnati, OH

Denali, now Ryker, is enjoying beautiful Virginia

Keet, now Bauer, has changed his citizenship to Canada and is living in Hamilton, Ontario

Kobuk, now Finn, is active in Flagstaff, Arizona and busy training to be a bird dog

Yukon, still Yukon, is loving living in Utah with his 2 older Drent brothers

sweetest Hatcher is still Hatcher and living the good live in Michigan!

Where we ended up...

Spokane has been good to us so far. The dogs are loving everything about it. There is no shortage of things to do here. They love the new house, mostly because of the huge yard and amazing walkability of the neighborhood. And the dog-friendly outdoors...well, the photos speak for themselves....
