Wheels is closing in on 10 years old. Went out to the steep cliff country where she got her start as a chukar dog for the first time in several years yesterday. She didn’t run as fast or cover as much country as she used to, didn’t need to. She ran straight to the right places and pinned a huge covey of chukar. The youngster I put down with her popped up on the other side of the covey and blocked them from running along the cliff. They were about 800’ vertical above me and it took me several minutes to get there but the girls still had them. Got a double on the covey rise, took a quick photo of the the star of the show (much to her chagrin) and worked our way back down the hill. Tough, steep country and one heck of a death march up the hill, but what a memory! Gotta love those old dogs that can still get it done ❤️
