a day with the swansons

[quackaddict2]

hey everybody,had a chance to train a little with the swansons.

of course i jumped at the chance knowing how well respected they are in our little dog training comunity

i was asked if i could load the wingers using the atv:rolleyes: thank god it wasn't one of my usual train wrecks:cheesy: gee those things handle great[i'm used to two wheels from my motto cross and speedway days]:bigrin

well here are some picks

jeff started out at a very techy pond,you can see the bird in the air in the first two picks

Hey Al, I've been away from the site for a bit. Some excellent pics of early goose season and these dog training pics are awesome. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck at the Grand! Take lots of pics and keep us up to date as the week goes along if you can get access to the Internet.
