Good days and hard running dogs

Up early and out before the heat came on. We had a good day running. We ran 10 dogs in 4 braces.

Jakey and Collin ran with Drifter (Eades) they all ran well, Drifter ran a great race, Jakey did great and did a nice job handling to the front - Collin was more lateral and we had to ride for him a few times. They had a divided find - the rooster was cornered by 3 dogs and it was probably not sure where to go. They also ran over a few birds. It was a great day for puppies.

Jackie and Sunny (Eades) ran well together, Jackie had a broke find, a stop to flush and honor all with classy style and great manners - her race is getting bigger as her confidence grows and except for a few flat areas over the hour - stayed with Sunny well. Diva was in the roading harness and did nice job on honoring and stop to flush. Her pattern has gotten really lateral and we are hoping that running her with other dogs in a short lope will encourage her to stay forward and correct the problem.

Tucker, Joey, Cullen - All did well - Joey had a find, and did really well. Tucker had an honor - he is getting more confident and running much better - Birds will really help, but so far he has not lucked into any. Cullen backed also.

Mali, Knikki, and Zack. Mali had a 2 broke finds, and honor, and a stop to flush. Zack did nice birdwork - a find or two,and a couple stop to flush. Their race was very nice always forward and mature. Knikki did well, honored and pulled hard in the harness.
