The Signal Centre.
Ross and I took Chris and the Coco Monster to the Signal Centre for Chris to have a find and Coco to watch. The wind was ackward and we worked in an L shape. The long bit was about 150 yards and the short bit about sixty. We were working across the wind and then turned into it. Both dogs were off the lead and ran about until we turned the dog leg. There wasn’t much wind but the minute Chris turned into the wind he had the bird. As you all know the scent disperses the further you are from the bird and Chris was a bit vague at first but he eventually pinned the bird at about ten yards. Coc0 watched, after a fashion, but it wasn’t until the bird was released that he took any real interest. When I let him off he was quite excited and ran about obviously looking for the bird. The penny will drop I am sure but not completely for a while.
