Hi Don,
Hope all is well. Thought I would give you an update on Gem. Last weekend she had two passes on her HRC Seasoned title. She basically nailed all of the components in water and land on both days. Too bad their are not any more tests until April now as she is ready to start on her master title next year. She really has clicked as of late,running blinds,triples, and walkups with lots of enthusiasm!! She will be looked at soon for the show ring,will let you know how that goes. I guess that ice cream cone you gave her At Timmies really pointed her in the right direction! Gem is a very unique dog and apart from her obvious drive,looks and style is often described in our dog circles as being "very cool".
I have one training question for you: I have to train her to honour consistently, and feel that with her strong drive that the collar would be effective. What do you think?
Take care and good hunting,
Ian
