Courses are laid out and we are gonna have a nice trial

Our days are starting with roading our dogs at about 4:30 AM and we generally don't get finished by 2 PM.

All the dogs are doing well.

Collin - Had 2 points of birds and a back today. His race is good, with his forward patterning improving. Pretty well done work today. Sunny had 4 finds, and stood derby broke. Race was forward, but flat in the middle and ended big shooting dog race.

Dot and Drifter - Ran hard to the front for over an hour. To all age extremes at times on the front half. Drifter pointed two large groups of sharptail. Dot regressed to puppy like enthusiasm on wild flushing birds. They both finished strong but shorter than on the first half.

Tucker and Zack - Ran hard to the front, at extreme shooting dog to all age range after a slow start. Zack had a find on a bunch of sharptail. Tucker had an honor. They were on the ground for one and a half hours.

Maggie and Joey - Ran well, but heat and humidity and heavy cover affected the performances of the dogs. They had no finds.

Rain on the day before - made it a day for getting things fixed and equipment repaired.
