At first, Justus was very curious and cautious with the pigeon.

He was pointing, but sniffing and creeping along as well. Then, when the bird flew, he just had to take off after it.

He even nipped three tailfeathers out at one point, much to the amazement and amusement of the crowd.

After a quick romp chasing it, he finally figured out that he couldn't (and wasn't supposed to) catch it, so he slammed on point like nobody's business.

For all his hard work, he earned his very first ribbon!!! (Danyelle took him in the ring while I took the photos, so she got to take the picture with him on this one)

Now, he's got his eyes on bigger things.
