Cold Water Blinds

Cold Water Blinds

You can read this one either way – Retrieves in cold water or Retrieves in water where the dog has not seen the bird fall.

First – after taking your dog through the entire course (Basic & Field) he will be breaking ice to retrieve the bird.

Second – this is the one you need to be concerned about. You probably have had many occasions where a cripple has landed far beyond the birds he has been retrieving. It is a must that you get that bird but your dog has not seen the bird and has no knowledge that it is way out there. This is where your lessons will pay off as you send your dog on a line handling him through the difficulties and placing him in a position where he can wind the bird.

After accomplishing a retrieve as described above you will come home with extra pride in your heart and your dog will probably get a steak dinner.
