Great pics. It's not that warm and dry here yet but will be soon.

What ages are the "puppies" ?

Thanks, we need some rain, we have enough moisture to get the crops started but we need some rain to have agood year.

The setter is 12 mos, the liver pointer is 8 mos and the white pointer is a little older, I think she will be 2 in August.

Bill, did you ever have that trial in ND this spring? If so how did it go for you. I may be confusing you with someone else so I apologize if I have the wrong person.

Bill,

Seems llike Denhoff is about the middle of the State.

What part of central ND do you hail from?

I believe Mr. Holtan runs walking shooting dog trials, therefore that is unlikely to be a Ryman.

No she is not a Ryman setter. She is an english setter though.

Yes we did have a trial here in mid March and it went great. Had a great shooting dog stake with some real quality performances. Had alot of fun with entrants from MN, ND and MT. We were lucky to have pretty good weather, a little chilly in the morning and evening but all in all pretty good. Unfortunately we did not have any Gordons but we have at least 1 Brittany, Red setter. English setter and Pointer.

You are correct very unlikely that it would be a Ryman.

Bill,

I thought I recognized the terrain. Carrington is my favorite place to gas up as I head further west on 200.
