Warmer Days

Well, we got out early today - Earlier enough that the heavy dew was still on the grass and we had little bird work.

Cullen and Buster - Were in the first brace - Cullen ran well and was mostly forward for his brace - he had no bird contact. Buster was able to honor a stop to flush by Rock.

Squirt and Jackson - Ran with Zack - Jackson was very short, because of this all Jackson had was 4 honors and a decent stop to flush. Squirt had a find and honored 4 times - it was a decent brace overall.

Star and Billy - They ran well for 1 hour. Billy had birds and Star was far out to the left and was not able to honor. They worked well, and since it was the first time any of the dogs were required to run 1 hour - they did well.

Dot and Dent - Ran well, Dot was forward and big at times making 1/4 to 1/2 mile casts. She had a derby broke find - at the flush she broke and was corrected. On her second find she did much better. She had some forward movement but was mostly clean in her birdwork. She did a super job for a puppy.

Chewy and Pete - Ran big and at times made some all age casts. The heat was on, and the cover was thick and the combination made it very difficult to find birds. We ran about half of an hour and picked up. Chewy did a great job and I am hoping that as he gets in better shape he will be very competitive in derby stakes.
