| Kenzie is being trained for his Junior Hunting field trial tests. These pictures were taken on February 6, 2005, at Ornbaum Kennels in Cordelia, California (near Fairfield). It was Kenzie's first time retrieving ducks in the field. While he retrieves ducks great training with Mike at home, the real test is how he does in the field. We had great success, but his training is still far from complete! However, the best thing about the day training with the Nor-Cal Golden Retriever Club is that both Mike and Kenzie really enjoyed themselves. And that's what it's all about - having fun!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kenzie steady at the line, waiting to hear his name...then...POP!! off he'll go, and go, and go!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kenzie awaiting his turn at the blind. Nice & steady, but very curious as to what will happen next! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kenzie's first land retrieve of a duck. Yes, we know, we'll work on him holding the duck better. But in his defence, it was a really yucky, old duck to hold. We don't blame him!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
