Wind was up, dogs had a hard time pointing birds



We started about 6 AM. It was about 45-55F when we started. We had planned to run six - 1 hr braces across the prairies.

Cord and Dent. Cord had 3 finds and an honor all with great manners and a fantastic shooting dog race. Dent had a find, ran through some birds but ran a nice race.

Lucy and Alex - Lucy had 2 broke finds, a couple stop to flush/bump and an honor all will manners - she ran a comfortable gun dog race. Alex had a nice find, and ran through a few bunches of birds but had a nice race.

Cullen and Jake - Cullen ran well, no finds but ran a great forward race, and bumped a couple bunches of birds. Jake ran well, had a nice couple of pieces of bird work. And did a super nice job.

Dot and Billy - Ran well, Dot had find on a duck on the prairie. The rest of brace, was great with both dogs running nice, forward shooting dog races. They also, ran over some birds, that they had no opportunity to point.

Phil and Sallie - Ran well, had a nice race but had no bird work. Sallie was short and had a better race than previously but still needs work.

Pete and Trevor - Ran well, but the wind made it impossible to find and point birds.

We had birds on every brace, the wind made it difficult for our young dogs to get anything pointed. The only dogs that pointed birds were more experienced dogs with a couple dogs spending summers previously.

We got lots of work done today. So, it was awesome.
