Soon to be apprentice.

[RT-Angel Fire]

Hello all,

Briefing: I am a New Mexico resident farm raised, avid outdoorsman, was a professional dog trainer (agility and obedience) I’ve worked with everything from mice to primates and I’ve recently lost a dear family member and hunting buddy (My GSH Pointer Marshall) and though it's been tough; I now have a great deal more time to pursue something I've been longing to do(become a Falconer). I have had the opportunity to accompany a great group of Falconers and their Birds and am looking forward to becoming an apprentice.

Welcome! My wife is an avid agility person with her shelter corgie-collie mix. I told her for years that she needed a hobby - I'm now telling her that I didn't mean one that involves me spending whole weekends sitting in an Ag center watching her compete while trying to keep our 1.5 and 4 year olds corralled.

Yes Jim I did, and it was really a direct result of running in to you at the lake. I guess fate had a part in pushing me on this journey.

I too hope it works out. I'm devoting all that I have to making it happen.

In my opinion It's much easier to train than to compete and three times as difficult to manage children.
