She went for her 1st run down the lake today, she did good having a splash and she naturally wants to stay close but keeps her nose to the ground.
Wasn't afraid to stand up to pelicans either, even when they could swallow get for a snack, she ius fearless that's for sure.

She already sits, fetches comes to her name and whistle.

I got a length of fox skin and have been making drags, she will follow them a few meters unless she gets distracted by the other dog, in which case she chases her off 1st. :lol:

She is protective of me and her snacks. :lol:
Just need to get another strip of fox, the whippet found the other strip yesterday arvo on the bench and it's been thoroughly used as a chew toy.

Lucky road kill around here is plentiful.

Don’t forget to expose her to plenty of noise and work her up to a gunshot.
I had a mate (lol) that had a jack Russell and never exposed it to noise.
The dog followed him up a dam enbackment where he emptied the snotty at a heap of ducks.
I have never seen a dog run so fast yelping. It never was able to get used to guns.

I took her out yesterday to pattern a new shotgun, she never even flinched.
I'm going to take her every week to get her used to shots while she is still little, the trick is a treat after every shot.
