Russ,
It was great to meet you out there - and I do say, that little Greta is a fireball. I would have taken her home with me, you would have been shocked to get home and no Greta in the truck. Our little pointer from the shelter didn't fare as well as Russ's girl. Ours was a bit rangy for the small area we had birds planted in and she bumped a bird. We did put birds out for her after the event and she did spectacular (if spectacular means she looked like a dream on point but then jumped in to flush the bird). A great time was had by all and the good news for me was that my Vizsla was top dog on Sunday and given the head nod by all the judges and gunners as "officially ready for Master level" which is what we've been working towards. I entered him in next week's hunt test to be held in KC and we'll see if I can manage to make a clean run with him. He did great - it's me that needs the work! Our ten year old pointer also came out and had a blast on Sunday. The fog was so bad on the grounds that the actual walking field trial across the lane had to be cancelled because you couldn't see the dogs. So we had fun on our side of the road with the hunting dog challenge.
