Levi



Levi is out of a litter sired by Red. He belongs to Darren Vaughn and is a handful at 5 months. He loves water especially when there is something to retrieve, like a quail killed during training. We've just now started working him on blinds. Levi will be finding dove for his owner in September and ducks in November. His training will continue on after hunting season. Here I've dropped a quail, that he had been retrieving and was now waterlogged, into the duckweed in about 1 foot of water. In the first photo he smells it and the second he is underwater after it. We kill a lot of wood ducks and they are notorious for going under and holding onto roots when pursued by a dog. This teaches the pup to believe in his nose.
