Gudgeon's Red Fever Bruizer (Rip x Boo)
Well it's been kinda hit and miss working with Bruizer on guiding him to the title of "COONDAWG", part of that is my fault, I haven't been keeping up my end of the deal, that meetin halfway kinda thing. Part of that is having a 16 mo old little girl running around, and Emily getting bumped to the other shift so now I'm on "duty" for 7 out of 14 nights, and on "diaper duty" the other nights. Hunting time and daytime training has been few and far between due to the schedule and the "not so ideal conditions" for pups.
ANYWAYS, I figure if Bruizer is gonna be a coondawg, it's gonna be mostly him and no credit to me. Part of being an all natural I guess.
Did a little drag work today, and Bruizer busted out of the dog box, ran till he hit that track and flat out smoked it thru the trees where I had laid the drag... Please not that the whole time he was runnin the drag his nose never once touched the 1 ft+ of snow he was runnin thru. Bruizer is a nose up, smokin the track kinda dog. Has been most of the time I've had the pleasure of unsnapping his lead. Well he's to the point where I'm fine tuning him a bit, or trying to keep guiding him in the right direction, and today was nothing but big grinnin on my face as well as some blasted ear drums!! 
I know ppl like to brag about their 4-6 mo old dogs doing it all, but I guess it's not where they start but how they finish. Bruizer is definetely not finished, but another chapter was written today in his training novel, and I think he'll get "there" one of these days. When it warms up a bit he'll be getting pushed by himself and hopefully if everything goes as planned in 2011 he might find himself in a night hunt or two..... TIME WILL TELL
This is how it started......

and here's where we're at currently at 11 mos old.
