I'll go ahead and start the thread since we're just 3 days away. This will be my dog's first field trial, so I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles it. See everyone Friday.
X2!!!
Hardy has been very consistent as both Derby and Qual dog earning 25 or so Derby points followed up by several Qual finishes. Im very excited to see him step up and play with the "big dogs".
Am callbacks to water marks: 3 16 22 24 27 37 44 47 49 55 58 59 62. 13 total. 47 starts. Tough water blind...50% either picked up the poison bird or wouldn't get in the water.
Open WB is a throat slitting. 75 yd entry, swim, hit a point, little swim then run along the bank for 100 ydd, with water on your left, with wind blowing 10-15 mph left to right. There was a poison bird thrown right to left onto the bare beach. Line to the blind is under the arc, within 10 ft of the bird. Dogs have to kick off back into the water immediately after passing under the arc.
1 out of every 4-5 dogs have picked up the actual blind.
Congrats Dr.Ed. Your Holland is a fantastic young dog, with an even brighter future!!!
I too, was VERY excited about the Holland x Tease litter Troy had mentioned.
Congratulations to all who placed this weekend! Especially to Rainey and Mike! Rainey just came back from maternity leave and ran very well in both stakes this weekend! I am so proud of them both!!
Congratulations to everyone placed and finished in the Amateur - I thought Jerry and John did a great job! Dittos Janice on the congrats to Mike and Rainey. Pretty cool to play with the pups while Mom places! Slider is proud!
Also congrats to the placers and finishers in the open, especially Dr. Ed for Holland's win! I am very proud of my green ribbon in that open, especially because of that water blind! Seriously had my heart rate in the 200s going under the arc of that poison bird.
Way to go Holland, Trudi, Tia, Livvy (Wahooh from Miss Beans & I.), Rainey, Mister, & Ham. Congrats to all who placed & finished!!
What a year for the big dogs from The Vinwood Crew.
