Making money today

Well, today was a great day training. We got an early start and it stayed relatively cool until we finished.

Our first brace was a decent one. We ran Sammie with Chance - Chance ran a nice moderate paced ground race - he had two finds - the first one he mishandled badly and corrections were made as he failed to stop to flush. The 2nd find was much better held until the flush and broke - but corrections were made and he finished strong. Sammie ran a short well paced gun dog race with no birds.

Kane and Trevor - This was a great brace - Trevor ran a well applied and moderate gun dog race making casts to objectives and using the wind well. He had two finds - his first was on a brood of pheasants and hen - he maintained composure even though they were in plain sight and running around - he broke at the flush both times. He did have a non productive. Kane had a beautiful ground race, well applied and big. He had 3 finds and one of the best relocation's on a rooster pheasant I have seen recently. He was steady to wing and shot on all finds.

Lucy and Stubby - Lucy ran a short gun dog race - she had opportunities to back and she did well after cautioning. Stubby ran well he had 4 finds - his first find he pointed well, but on relocation bumped the bird and corrections were made. His 2nd and 3rd opportunities were much better and his 4th find he stood broke for it.

Primo and Charlie - Primo ran a very well applied shooting dog race and had 5 finds - and although he made mistakes and was corrected and then on the last find he stood broke - whooo hoooo!!!!!!!! Charlie had two finds and a short race.

Mali and Taz - This was our final brace - Taz ran well got into a brood of pheasants to chase - Mali had a nice find of sharp tails - she stood broke and Taz got to chase some more birds. The race was well applied and big at times with both making casts over 200 yds.
