Tidewater Retriever Club



What a gorgeous day! Today was Luther's day. This was our first visit to the Tidewater Retriever Club and their first practice hunt trial of the year. Luther retrieved bumpers in the puppy session and ran duck retrievals in the big dog class. All the training with Lauren Hall Koch in Montana and with Jimmy and I here in the field on those cold winter days is paying off. Luther did fantastic! I'm so proud of him. We've decided to sign up to work for his Junior Hunter title. Thanks to all in the Tidewater Retriever Club for such a warm welcome to Luther, Jimmy and me.

Such Focus


Luther never believes in missing a meal...or a treat. I buy the smallest Milkbone biscuits and break them in half and balance half on his nose. Luther snaps it up quickly. He likes the challenge and yesterday got 4 out of 4. Such talent!
