2001-2002 hunting season
Joe Allegretti writes: Ammo completed his third hunting season in grand
fashion. The season began in Westmorland with opening day of dove season.
Ammo retrieved 29 dove out of a possible 31, including Adrianna's (my 12
year old daughter) first dove, which happened to be a whitewing. |

My father, sister, and daughter all simply sat on their stools while
Ammo retrieved our birds. Ammo actually retrieved all of the birds he possibly
could as one fell into an impenetrable thicket and I caught the other one
as it fell to earth. A couple of months later, after locating a nice winter
dove population near Neenach, Ammo continued his expertise of retrieving
doves for me and my daughter. |

| Quail season came with a whimper and never materialized. Thank goodness
for our annual trip to North Dakota. Ammo was excellent, working close, flushing
loads of pheasants and retrieving numerous wild ringnecks for both myself
and other members of our party. Our group consisted of 14 hunters (plus Longplain
Remi) and we were able to limit all three days of hunting. After three and
a half days of hunting and a 24 hour drive home, Ammo slept for three days
straight. Two weeks later we found ourselves hunting planted pheasants on
a Gamebird Heritage Hunt sponsored by the Santa Clarita Quail Unlimited chapter.
Ammo and Remi worked well together as Richard (Remi's owner), Rich's son,
Jon, Adrianna, and I bagged all eight planted roosters; Ammo actually bagged
five of them as the birds refused to fly. |

Over Christmas vacation, on a trip to Nevada, Ammo was able to follow
in Sting's footsteps as he retrieved his first two Canada geese. Both geese
were still alive as Ammo approached them. Ammo had little trouble retrieving
the large birds, bringing both birds to hand (as he always does).
Ammo continues to be a great hunter and a fantastic family pet. Longplain
dogs are simply the best. |
