I have worked hard to get him as much expe-

three months he was taken out to retrieve doves. On the
opening day of teal season, he was taken out to retrieve
the shot teal. I threw out a dirt clod to encourage him
towards the first duck. He then swam out to retrieve the
remaining four ducks. The last one was about 25 yards
out. He climbed over downed tree branches on the way
to the bird and back. He is now nine months old and
has hunted doves, ducks, geese, pheasant and quail.

THE MAGIC OF A RICE SOCK DEUTSCH KURZHAAR Living Up To The efforT, Time and TrUsT!
By Patti Carter
NAVHDA’s breeders are full of many tips to successfully raise a litter of Brunswick, Maine
puppies. They are oozing with the willingness to share what they have
learned. The most important being the “hand off” and what tools you will
need and what skills your little girl or guy has already learned. A good
breeder will have spent weeks and weeks of planning, endless sleepless
nights and heartfelt dedication to each ball of fur that will turn into your
new best friend and hunting dog.
PUPPY TIP
Each pup leaves their first home with a rice sock. A what, you ask? Exactly
what I said, a sock full of rice. From birth on, the pups are comforted by
the warmth and nurturing of their mom. I add a microwaved sock to the
whelping box from day 1. It can be used to prop up a pup while nursing
for the first time. It looks and feels like another puppy.
My favorite use: Buy a medium sized stuffed animal at the thrift store,
