Big Day

Ran the dogs in in the Michigan Amateur Field Trial Club hunting dog stake at the Gladwin Field Trial Area Sunday April 10th. First time I’ve run all 3 dogs in this event. There was 3 inches of hard crusty snow on the ground, and drizzle/freezing rain most the day. Birds where hard to come by, but Litha managed a nice clean find on a woodcock, and placed 1st. Alder had a nice run as well, and placed 3rd out of a field of 20 dogs. Beat out a field of mostly English setters and a few German shorthairs.  

 Alder of the left with one of the field trial judges, and Litha second to left with myself. Nice to finally get a win at a grouse/woodcock trial for the old girl.
