great. It is amazing what a good dog can do in spite of Andy's handling. :P

Congrats Coop and Dez. Somewhat shocked. That Dez can hunt wild birds and win field trials. Think he's the first of his kind. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Good job Coop.

Thanks guys, he had a pretty good weekend I was just along for the ride. There were a lot of nice dogs at this trail, we got lucky this weekend. I got a lot of help and advice, and was glad to get it.

It was good to see a bunch of folks I hadn't seen in a few years and finally meet a bunch of other folks I have "known" on GDF for a long time.

A limit on the strap is nice, but the kill has nothing to do with tradition.

Just when you're flying high they remind you that they are still dogs and not robots. Dez and I ventured to NW Mo this weekend to run in the Heart of America walking trial. I was excited to run on these grounds as they are a little more open and I was curious to see if my boy would open up.

He ran well until what should have been a stop to flush turned into a pause to to flush and then continue hunting.... as a handler I could probably have done a better job protecting him.

We will be back running again next weekend.

Heart of America is a great group and they put on a very nice trial, I really enjoyed myself.
