A quick note on when LCW will have new pups. The P litter taught us that having pups in the fall/winter is a challenge. We’ve always had spring litters and we’ll be returning to that tradition. Therefore, the next litter will not be ready until Spring of 2011. We are taking deposits. Inquire on the contact page.
Since it isn’t hunting season, we don’t have pups, and spring chores around the farm are calling - the frequency of new blog posts will probably suffer. We’ve just started new Twitter and Facebook pages and hope to send out quick updates. Even that takes time though, so you may have to allow us some lengthy breaks (as you’ve already done).
We spent most of the last day pulling porcupine quills out of Duke. At the end of the season the birds have seen it all. My hunting partner and I have a hidden coulee not known to many. Later in the season as snow and cold builds the pheasants congregate to the bottom for cover and food. It is a long way off the road and not very big. These are all keys to a late season success for running roosters!
One down side, the porcupines like it too. Early on Ella found one and left it alone. We got to the end of our push and the birds were outsmarting us. We began making our way back and after taking a nice photo of both dogs in the coulee we started in the first brush patch.
Duke got birdie right away, and I was on a cliff above him. I could see him hesitate on the scent. This should have been a clue to me, but I was thinking about those running pheasants and gave him the one last, “get’em Duke!” He took one jump and came out with a mouthful of porcupine quills.
Living in a small town has its benefits in looking up the local vet. One hour and 15 minutes of pulling quills. That night he ate a full bowl of food. The next morning you wouldn’t even know it, he was playing like nothing had happened.
Having a litter puppies is difficult during hunting season, not to mention in the cold Montana winter.
