Ken, the SRS is a combination (hunt test and field trial) event that leans more toward hunt test scenarios IMO. From my very limited SRS experience, the level of difficulty from one event or even...

Big congrats to mike and tick!

Absolutely superb!

My approach is similar to Ken’s.

Visualize what the dog will do on each mark before going to the line. This helps reduce the surprises and prepares me to give the proper response. Here is how...

One more point that I touched on. We all see training sessions turn into testing sessions. This setup was deliberately constructed and run as a teaching/training session. Can someone explain the...

Entry was from a high point on the end of the dam, squaring the water which was only 20 to 25 yards from the shore line. BIG SWIM!

Dang it! Forgot to put the wind direction. Primarily down wind, but quartering toward the right shore line.

Consider this scenario as a teaching setup, not a test. How would you approach it?...

Training Double. The go bird on the right is left out, and the long memory bird is retired. This photo was taken with a telephoto lens and the appearance minimizes the difficulty of the setup. It is...

I don't know what dog that was. Deb is smart enough to stay away from most trials. She knows someone will put her to work, and she HATES to marshall.

It's called multi-tasking. Pick up shotgun,...

You are right. That was the derby flyer. That's what happens when you lose too many brain cells.

Had the pleasure of shooting flyers and a few photos for the Wichita Falls Field Trial qualifying stakes last weekend. This is one of the high rolling youngsters that made a slight miscalculation in...

Bleu on the left is looking at me and trying to be good. Roux is looking at the bumper that was just thrown. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be good. Guess who got there first after being...

Bill, Here's a couple of the old man made late 2012.

[QUOTE=HPL;1073098]Great shot, but does he have the drive to actually RUN ACROSS THE SURFACE to accomplish the retrieve?

23 months old tomorrow.

One of my favorites of the young addict... Even if his field trial career doesn't work out I'll keep him around for the entertainment value.

That was Bloux, a just turned 3 yo sired by FC AFC Roux MH :) :)

This is Tim's dog, Bayou Magic's Rouxster Bleu QAA in a few picks we made last fall. He picked up a few ducks for Tim's guide service the Duck Club of Oklahoma.

On your mark......

This sequence was taken of Kirk Wichman in the first series of the Bluebonnet derby. Notice where the dog is in relation to the mat from the time the birds start going off until she is released.

This is a shot of the third series of the Bluebonnet Derby. Should clarify some of the previous comments and questions. And as Tom said, no, Dylan did not cheat.

This is Dan Hurst watching Maggie and Ben cruise to blue. What's in that paper sack, Dan?

Big congrats...

This is Janet Kimbrough's derby dog Soul, a littermate to my wildman Burke. Soul jammed.

A lot of dog...

The first set is Kenny Trott with a very nice derby dog.
