One year-old Ringo (BISS GCH Chestnut Hills Windjammer SH WD x Arnac Bay Arapahoe WD) is enjoying his first hunting season in Minnesota and we just received photos and and an update of his hunting debut. Owners Grant and Pam share that all of the training of the last year has paid off. Ringo is well-prepared for the work and he approached that work with all of the promise woven deep in his genes. It made us so proud to hear that this young boy is breaking ice with enthusiasm on the Upper Mississippi.
Last winter, when Ringo first went home to Minnesota, Grant decided to try Bill Hillmann's training approach to training a retriever which emphasizes building a positive bond based on trust and kindness. We have no doubt that Grant and Ringo have a promising partnership ahead. And, we are so grateful for the friend who sent Grant and Pam our way. There is no better life for a Chesapeake puppy.
Thanks to Grant Springer for the photos!
