Still plugging away

Well, there are plenty of birds, but most are hanging in the sunflowers and corn. We had a beautiful cool morning and it worked to our advantage. We ran 5 braces with mixed results.

Cooper - Still running a nice foot handling race, and still honoring well. He honors other dogs every day and stands for the flush and shot.

Jessie - Ran a huge nice race and had a nice find - she broke at the flush but stopped on "Whoa"

Diamond - Running very well - honored once - had a nice find on a pheasant - broke at the shot - corrections made.

Penny - Nice race - hunting likely objectives and although unable to come up with a find (hunting in wheat stubble and birds were running) she handled very well and had a nice honor.

Kane - Multiple broke finds, nice race and multiple honors - just an old pro showing his stuff.

Fuzzy - Still not serious about the work - would rather hang out at the trailer than work birds.

Brunie - Running a great race and had 3 nice puppy finds - the star of the young dog show

Stubby - Well, this dog is normally a great bird finder, however, yesterday he took a line down a fence row and was lost at the break away - no bird work but he was waiting at the truck when we came back.

Deuce - Ran great, learning "whoa" and backing - very pleased with the progress of this young dog that we basically started on square one with.

Dolly - Ran a very nice handling dog - did a nice job on a broke find and honored very well. She is a nice hunting dog.

Teeka - Very nice young setter - really a toss up between her and her sister Brunie as to who is the best young setter in the program this year.
