We came away very pleased with our dogs. TomBoy won the Open Limited stake for her first 2 adult points! She looked great, covered LOTS of ground, had great birdwork, and even had a back - which has been her biggest weak spot all season.
Buffy placed 4th in Amateur Limited behind 3 fantastic performances.
Both were also entered in Amateur Gun Dog, retrieving - along with Buffy's son and TomBoy's littermate, McKinley. All three made the callbacks, with Buffy taking 2nd for 1 retrieving point, TomBoy taking 3rd, and McKinley taking 4th. All 3 had really nice runs and nice birdwork. I was most happy with TomBoy - I've done almost no retrieving work with her, it was her first callback, and she did a pretty respectable job.
While he didn't make it around clean, Patriot sure made us look forward to the day when he does. He ran HUGE, but ended up busting when I simply couldn't get to him fast enough once he went on point. Not an easy dog to handle from foot.
