Hunting pre-date

Last week I received an invitation from colleague flatcoated breeder Pearlycoat to join a hunt in Denmark. It was unique in the way that Cajus,who is planned to sire our upcoming, was attending too. Pearlycoat is a well known flatcoated breeder in Denmark who has a reputation of breeding working gun dogs with calm temperaments and plenty of work drive. Christian & Marianne are also the owners of Cajus’ father Hasse (Spader Damens Amenlis).

So of course I gladly accepted the invitation-when does one get the chance to see the stud in real action!?

Cajus showed me that he is the perfect match for Lotte – he has characteristics that will compliment my fast Rumi daughter. He is very motivated in game but has a natural obedience and stays closer to his handler than Lotte. He showed me how easily he settles after a hunt an he is truly a good sport towards other dogs. He is also such a funny guy – he did his utmost to flirt with Lotte who took great interest in exchanging smells. I wonder how much longer we have to wait for her to come in heat.

Also Cajus’ sister Nura was joining our wonderful day on pheasants. She is a really nice flatcoated retriever too. Very feminine and fast.

Lotte herself did a good job – picking up in a different terrein than she is used to. At the end of the day she got a bit overexcited by the many amounts of birds – but during the after search she got all the sick birds back who had run far out.

I am very excited to see how this wonderful couple is going to pass on their hunting traits.
