first year trialing

Post by vols fan » Sat Mar 19, 2011 7:02 am

Just proud of my dog Dougie after his first trial year.He ran in 12 broke stakes and placed in 9 of those .He was clean in 11 of the 12 roundsand was placed or called back in all 11.He also placed in 2 horseback trials with a 3rd in OLGD and a 3rd in ALGD.I think i'm hooked now.Big thanks to Brenda for all her help.Met a lot of nice people at the trials and enjoyed it more than i believed i would.Hope i can finish him this fall.Not a trial around me that's not 9 hours away.Anyway, lots of fun .Thanks, Tony

Nice looking dog. It's great getting through clean the majority of the time. It's the wins that get you hooked and spending some money.. did I mention the money part?
