We had a great time this weekend. Steve has been training Dixie and wanted to see if she could hunt quail. We had talked Chris about going for some time and since the season ends this month, we finally were all able to make it. Peg had plans at home so it was just going to be a guy’s weekend, but her friend could not make it and she came to spend some time with mom and pop. It worked out for everyone.
We got over to Circle W in Heflin Alabama about 8:00am Saturday. The fellow who runs the preserve did not have much faith in Dixie. Chris and I had no idea what to expect,

but Steve was sure she was ready. 
Dixie showed all of us she was a hunting dog. We were in a field that was between 15 and 20 acres and covered all of it and found the birds.
She may not have retrieved to hand but, she got them back to us from some very long distances. Steve was even able to call her back when we missed one. That is a real trick.
The weather was perfect in the high 50’s and low 60’s and that helped keep the dog going. Heat is one of the things that hurt a dog in the field.When we were done Chris headed back to Tenn. and Steve and I came back to Covington. Mom and dad brought Peggie down and we all went to dinner. Like I said it was a great day.
This morning Peg and Steve headed to the Shores to visit then head home. Back to work in the morning.
PS. Steve took the pictures but I bloged first. Ha Ha Ha!!!!

Looks like fun!! Sounds like Dixie made her daddy proud, too!! :)
Good BLOG, good pix, GREAT time. Glad the dog was able to show up the "experts". Chris was really excited about going, hope he had fun as well...
I agree, it was a good day. We really enjoyed pegs visit and the dinner was great. I really enjoyed the sitting on your deck. There was good weather, good folks and good talk. Who could ask for anything more.
Love.
All of the good words have been used up!! So, all I can say is "Thanks for the Memories".....

I never doubted Dixie for a minute. She is smarter than most and has a great nose.
Glad it was not hot and everyone had fun. I know I did.
Let's do it again next year.......with more shooters.
Wow, those pictures turned out great! I had an absolute blast (bad pun intended). Hopefully we'll get to do it again sometime. Thanks for coming up with the idea.
Dixie really showed everyone what a good dog she is.
The photos are great. You could not have picked better weather.
