Our "new" Brittany Spaniel pup, Lady GAGA, is 14 months old, and this is her first hunting season. She has been training for months, but just started actual bird hunting. She is a very fast runner, and covers a lot of ground, but usually stays within 80 yards or so.

This past weekend she had her first successful pheasant hunt. She succeeded in pointing a pheasant, holding while I flushed and shot, and then she retrieved it. We will still work on further training, but she is off to a good start. With more time in the field, she should get even better.
