From Brent in Colorado:

Just a quick note and picture of Lacy's first official duck outing from this weekend.  Lacy had 9 retrieves for the first time out!!  Needed some coaching on the first couple of birds.  Then nature, training and my enthusiasm took over and she did very well, including a double in the fast water of the Platte.  My hunting buddy said we can hunt with him anytime.  Just want to tell you "Thank you" for giving me advice on training my dog, equipment selection, and basically helping me out with my first time training my dog!!!  We are Dogs Unlimited folks for life!!!
