It's Official. I'm a Hunt'n Dog!

Bogie was entered in a Hunt Test the last weekend of September, 2007. He did everything that was asked of him and in return he earn his fist point on the way to earning his Junior Title. He will compete again in the ESAA Nationals in Cincinnati Ohio the first weekend in October for yet another earned point. Will let you know how that went.

Update: With temperatures in the high 80's and many distractions at the ESAA Nationals on October 8th,2007 Bogie went out to prove he deserves to be called a true hunting dog. And he DOES! He received his second ribbon for an Excellent qualifying run and with just one to go, he'll have his Junior Title by the end of the month.








Here I am with my foster mom Lisa, president of IBR, getting ready for them to give the command.




Can you tell I found my target. Just look at that beautiful point.






Even a hunting dog needs to cool off after a hard run.

Wanted To Share An Update With You

It's been a while since I've updated exactly what I've been up to lately. I'm still trying to get this allergy thing under control. I do have more good days than bad, so that's a plus. But even with my allergies, I don't let it stop me from having fun. As you can see from the recent pictures, I love to be outdoors and active. I've been very fortunate to have someone that really cares about me and makes me feel like part of the family, even thou it's just temporary, it doesn't feel like it.

I may need a special diet to keep my allergies under control, but don't let that keep you from bring me into your family. It hasn't stopped me from having a full and active lifestyle.

Setters Can Do Agility!

I've heard a lot about this thing called Agility, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. At first it's a little scary, but then you realize it's just FUN and the rest is easy.

Here I am trying my feet at the Dog Walk. Then it was on to the A-Frame and Jumps. Oh! can't forget that weird black hole they call a tunnel. Then it was time to relax.

I Love The Wind In My Face And Water! I Love The Water

There's nothing better on a hot summer day than to take a dip in the lake. It's even better if you can do it with friends.

Bogie's Update

It's been quite some time since an update has been written on Bogie. Since he returned to IBR with terrible allergies, he's been on the mend for the last 9 months. He's been through a lot these past months, with loosing his fur, to rashes, but that's all under control now. His allergies have been figured out, and he will need a special diet from here on out. But through it all, he's been a champ. His spirit is as high as ever and he's just as sweet as always. He's cat friendly, loves playing with other dogs, has a great interest in birds and has an awesome point.

He's willing and waiting for someone to love him as much as he wants to love someone. Could that be you?

Check out his recent playtime at a local dog park. http://ibrwauconda.blogspot.com/
