Adieu mon p'tit Bobcat Celtick

Bobcat Celtick's Pedigree

He is born on May 18, 2013, at Pageska's breeder belonging to Mrs Paige Pettis amd Mr Gaby Giroux.
E-mail : griffontownkennel@hotmail.com Web site : http://www.griffontownkennel.com/

He is my 3rd pointing dog, he is Orca Celtick's (my first Griffon Korthals) great-grandson,
like Celtick and Ranger primarily for hunting, but as an everyday's companion. He began his
pointing dog career differently from Celtick and Ranger because from an early age I brought him
to ruffed grouse and woodcock woods, he was 3.5 months old, then the first outing in hunting season
he was 4 months old when at the time Celtick was 7 months old and Ranger was 5 months and 1 week old.

Bobcat Celtick he first did 3 outings before the hunting season, where once (3 September 2013)
he became aware of the smell of the ruffed grouse after the fly-up and he run to where the
ruffed grouse fly and another time (6 September 2013) he became aware of the smell of the
American Woodcock after the fly-up where he went to lick the woodcock's dropping
and then roll on that site. I photographed these moments of pure happiness.

And I will never forget that at his first hunting outing of his career in hunting season on September 15, 2013,
when he was 4 months old, in 30 minutes in the woods, on the 5 woodcocks and 1 ruffed grouse they were there,
he located 1 American woodcock and did an pointing on 1 other American woodcock.
I took in photo that very first pointing of Bobcat Celtick and then the woodcock in-flight.

Another difference I made this first season, while at the time with Celtick and Ranger when they were
puppies all the outings were with the hunting shotgun, with Bobcat Celtick its first season we mainly did
photographic hunting because he was too puppy to come out with the shotgun, on the 21 outings we did
with Bobcat Celtick it is only the last 4 from November 8, 2013 which were with the shotshotgun. His first
hunting season Bobcat Celtick was 4 months old (15 semprembre 2013) to 6 months old (21 semprembre 2013).
I did many hunting action photos of Bobcat Celtick in the woods and few photos of the woodcock
and ruffed grouse in-flight, located or/and pointed by Bobcat Celtick.

He has no evidence of hip dysplasia, for his hips he had X-rayed by the method
of Penhipp and hips are very good, Penhipp R.0.30-L.0.33, right hip 0.30, left hip 0.33.

He passed his three FDJ (field dog junior) tests of the Canadian Kennel Club
with a score of 97% in Saint-Canut, 93% in Saint-Jean-de-Matha in the morning,
and 96% in Saint-Jean-de-Matha in the afternoon, all three in Québec.

4 seasons, 83 outings,
