A new dog!

Last week I added another English Pointer to my kennel. Copper is a pleasant young dog with an impressive background. Her mother is a winner of several national championship grouse trials. So far she seems to be fitting in very well and is very well mannered for a young dog but it is always nerve wracking to add another dog to the team. At first I only let her out on a lead so that I could be certain that she would not run off; after a few days I switched to putting an electronic collar on her so that I could enforce my “come” command.
