Lockthorn Fake

We wished for a black bitch out of Zoe's first litter, but there was just one yellow - what a cheat! That's why we called her FAKE.

Impressions (click on the photos)

Fake was born on the 27th of February at 04.50 a.m. with 390 gr as the 6th of 6 pups. She was the only bitch - and YELLOW!
2017
First we thought that her father must have been a tiger...
2017
...but already 1 day later she looks like a yellow pup!
2017
She is always carrying something around (here 6 weeks old)...
2017
...and (as all our pups in this litter) she carries a partridge with 7 weeks.
2017
With 3 months she retrieves a duck!
2017
4 months: Fake our yellow "beauty"!
2017
Training with the group at 7 months:...
2017
...Fake ist always enthusiastic...
2017
...so it's important to insist on a nice delivery.
2017
A month later and our "speedy" likes to retrieve on open ground...
2017
...on moorland...
2017
...and in sugar beets.
2017
Some Lockthorns in November (f.l.t.r.): Ziva, Zoe, Fake, Duffy, Dido, Dice, Temba AND...
2017
...and our teenager is nine month old (nearly)!
2017
Winter was very wet and white; so not a lot of training. Experience for Fake: retrieving partridge in snow!
2018
Spring - time to do more outside: As Fakes hips and elbows are fine (3-3 / 0), she is allowed to jump...
2018
...and thank to the warm weather we can train in water.
2018
During training: a lot of waiting (Zoe & Fake)!
2018
And again: Grouse picking-up at Bransdale from August - November 2018
2018
For Fake the first time. Even if she hasn't been told what to do - she knows it.
2018
At the end of the shooting season Fake does very well in her first Novice trial (22.1.19 - VoYWRC) - even if she didn't get a result.
2019
And the training goes on: jumping with dummies...
2019
...and with cold game (ok, that was a little ambitious!).
2019
At the last cold-game training Fake has to retrieve a goose - not that easy to balance...
2019
...but she gets used to it!
2019
27.02.19: Already 2 years old!

Refreshed it's easier to bear the heat.
