I have been seeking a training venue for Tommy, who is now two and ready for finishing. A friend, Leif Lendrop, had scheduled time to travel to SC to put his young pointer with Maurice Lindley for summer training, and suggested that I send Tommy along. So Leif took Tommy on his trip to South Carolina - thanks, Leif. Tommy seems to adjusted to the new surroundings and has realized that there are birds down south. He will be with Maurice for the summer and should be home in time for Fall hunting and trial season.
I live on the West Coast and thought about traveling with my friend down to SC. A little too much $ and not enough time - so I passed. I believe that Maurice has the right approach for Tommy, and am looking forward to some good results.
Glad to see you trust some of the good ole boys down here in SC with "yo Dawg", I mite have to go see'em and maybe can deter-mine if he has enuff run in hem to make it down here in the pine thickets.... :)
Life is short Quit your job. Turn off the TV. Go outside and play.

This century's quotes
"Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants."
- Stewart Udall, 1970
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
Ted is gone, but not forgotten. From Crockett/Sunrise lines, with some Cover Dog blood from his dam's side. Ted is the best bird dog I have owned and earned eight shooting dog placements in his career, and has a lot of wild birds shot over his points.

From all accounts, Mike, you picked a great option for Tommy. Will be very interested to hear how he comes back.
all best
Andrew
He'll do a fine job for you. If you can work it out, you should come down one weekend and watch him work Tommy. Where do you live?

Thanks.
Good Luck with him. Do you think the Piney Woods will hold that prairie dog?
