Last Saturday, Annemieke with Bonnie and Mila, Michel and Jolanda with Sparkey and me with Jazz and Kylie decided to walk togeteher in the park. Well, that was a big succes. The adults were teaching the youngsters how to be clever and they all had lots of fun.

On March the 13th we had kind of a family reunion. The Belgium Large Munsterlander Club organised a huntingtest for youngsters and 8 of the Stommeerpolder youngsters joined the test. It wasn't possible to make pictures of the test itselve, but ofcourse we made lots of pictures of the dogs. Above a little selection. They all look so good, especially their heads! In total there were 17 youngsters joining te test and of all, Joy did best :-)) Well done Joy!

Marie, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Ares officially tracking a shot wild boar

Above: Ares and the dead wild boar

Above: click on the text and read Klaus' story (in German)

Ares is only 5,5 months old now and was officially asked for tracking a shot, but not dead wild boar. The wild boar was shot the evening before, but run off and the hunter couldn't find it anymore. By taking Ares to the place the wild boar was shot at first and letting him smell at the drops of blood, Ares started to search for it's track. At last the wild boar was found about a kilometer further and not dead at all. That's where Klaus and his huntingmate had to help out. Ares did a realy good job for such a young dog! (don't you think he's not only smart, but also very handsome :-))
