Flat-Coat Brag
Storm finished her third Junior Hunter leg this weekend, titling
three-for-three! One of the nicest parts of the weekend was a raucous and supportive gallery. People there truly wanted the dogs to succeed, and if dogs can pick up on mental energy, they *must* have had help from twenty people on the sidelines all whispering, "It's over THERE!" as the dog hunted. I'm very pleased with Storm's performance - she was steady as a rock (although I kept her on a slip-lead because they're allowed at this level and I'm not foolish enough to risk a break when I don't need to), pinned her marks, made flying water entries, and delivered neatly to hand (my hand). It was helpful to watch the wild younger dogs and remember all the work we've done that I tend, now, to take for granted. Steady and delivering the bird to hand don't come automatically... We're pretty much done for the summer now. We'll run a WC in June and maybe another in July... but it's back to the yard to teach handling. Kate --- and Storm, digesting her post-title cheeseburger. |
