Handler: Dave Kress

Our first test dog to the line was Fancy and handler Dave Kress ... Fancy came to the line at 7:50 am

Right Flyer (RF) -  Straight to it!

Right Retired (RR) - Straight to the fall area - took a couple turns and then she got to her bird

Left Flyer (LF) -  Wide right line out - through land and water - then was handled when she started heading right up the hill - guns came out to help the dog

Left Retired (LR) - Good line all the way to this bird

Took 23 minutes


Good Ideas Mighty Morgan, “Morgan,” LM
Owner: Tom Hawley
Handler: Tom Hawley

The next test dog to the line was Morgan with handler Tom Hawley .... Morgan came to the line at 8:28 am

Right Flyer (RF) -  Straight to it!

Left Retired (LR) - Line was wide of the fall, but he took a loop and it brought him left to the bird

Left Flyer (LF) -  Good line but hunted many loops deep and past the guns - the guns stood up to help the dog find the bird

Right Retired (RR) - Handled when he started going left in the last piece of water

Took 18 minutes
