Spring is in the air (for the most part) which means that here in Canada we are starting our outdoor activities. This means that the Braque Francais are beginning hunting training, hunting competitions and agility competitions. Hunting training has started and since the last post we have attended two more training days with N.A.V.H.D.A. and done some training on our own time. We are also continuing training Ivy and Piper for agility Ivy’s skills are so good now that she is going into her first competition. The Summer months are going to filled with many events and competitions for Safron Kennels below you can see how excited Ivy and Piper are to get started:




We have been to many hunting training days with the N.A.V.H.D.A and the girls have loved every minute of it. Ivy is doing great with the pointing exercises she is learning to hold woe on the table and heal on the leash like an expert. When she is on real birds though she still wants to try to catch the bird rather than point at it however at the last session she did manage to hold point for a second, this makes us hopeful that her training will pay off. Below take a look at Ivy’s success in hunting training:
