Norlanco setter Erika Schlager. (Her sister worked for me behind the counter of my booth during this tournament)
Spying on the other dog across the street. They watch each other thru windows and fence slats. Stare, bark is all they can do. They are cloistered like monks on islands.
I cloned out her long line. I don't think she'd be ready to hike off leash for a long long time. Too bad for her, she'd go crazy out there.
I've been taking my clicker and a pocket full of treats when we go hiking. I call her name and if she turns toward me, I click and give her a treat, well, offer one anyway, she won't eat it half the time because she's too excited.
I've been calling her Hanna the Barbarian. You know, like Hanna Barbara? It's like she's almost not fully domesticated. But then in the house she's as sweet as honey.
Three different people have applied for her so far, the first two had either a partial fence or a 3 1/2 foot tall fence on part of their property. The third, most recent has a six foot fence and loves active sporting dogs. We'll see! I am in love with her of course but would be happy to send her off with the right owners.
She is making me so grateful for my dogs who can be trusted off leash almost anywhere.
I had forgotten that i promised the Schlager's that i would give them the pictures i took of Erika at the final tournament of the season. In fact, i just received a couple orders from Norlanco parents-that was the only thing that reminded me of this. I thought i put these images behind me, but i guess i still have to edit a few of them before i put them in one of the archive hard drives (or in other words, the pit that never sees light of day)
Erika Schlager sets the ball, while her two spikers stand ready, unsure of which one she will pass it to
SmartPro™ is Pas Reform's latest and most advanced development for modular, single-stage incubation to date: a solution that enables Circadian Incubation™.
The modern hatchery manager’s goal is to produce large numbers of uniform, robust day old chicks. Robustness is a health criterion, originating in the embryonic life stage of the chicken – and correlating directly with the performance and resistance of individual chicks under differing farm conditions.
Detailed research has shown that robustness can be achieved by
stimulating the embryo with a specific trigger, i.e. stimulation by heat or cold, during critical periods of the incubation process. This
causes so-called ‘embryonic imprinting’ on a physiological level,
to produce a chicken that will thrive in its farm environment.
Such daily short-term thermo-conditioning is at the heart of Circadian Incubation™ – and known to improve hatchability, for long-lasting effects that include 1-2% increase in final body weight and 1-2 points better feed conversion rates. Batches of uniform, robust day old chicks also deliver uniformity at slaughter age, thereby improving processing yields, efficiency and performance throughout the entire production chain.
To support the use of Circadian Incubation™, the incubator must deliver precise climate control. To achieve truly homogeneous temperature distribution, the challenge is to exchange energy, CO2/O2 and moisture – without affecting temperature uniformity around the eggs.
To meet this exacting requirement, Pas Reform’s SmartPro™ uniquely combines three critical features: modular design, a new Vortex™-based airflow principle and Adaptive Metabolic Feedback™.
Sadly, my camera recycled past 0000 during this tournament, so while this image has the lowest number, it is not the first picture taken. By this time, the Quickset parents requested i shoot some thru the net spikes, blocks and huddle shots, so i was concentrating on that during these pics.

These craft are classed as medium berthing tugs and were found in the dockyards and ports around the UK where naval vessels operate. In addition, two (Airedale and Seallham) were based at Gibraltar. The craft have a bollard pull of 16 tons, which means that two are usually used for FFHs and above.
