Qualifying - 28 starters - Judges Robert Heise (MN) & Peter Hayes (WI)
Really good Q test! No tricks, straight up, either your dog knew the work or it went home. Land marks were a tight triple (for a Q, not an AA) thrown middle-right-left, including the long land blind, ran up on flyer-side. Water blind was down at an angle off a levee, requiring an angle entry, the levee continued left to a seated white coat, firing a dry shot. Water marks were a genius of bird placement. A triple, again thrown middle-right-left. Middle bird was a down the shore thrown angled back to land in shallow water on the shore. Dogs had to show perseverance, fighting a lot of various kinds of vegetation to get to it. Right bird was thrown from a levee at an angle forward to land in tall pond grass. Dogs that did not mark this well, had their momentum carry them up onto the levee where they put up huge hunts. Similarly dogs that were sucked by the gunner, also carried pass the fall and up onto the levee.

2. Lacrosse's Comeback Kid Jack - Jeff Buikema (Lance Hughey) [A Golden that stepped on the tough water marks! :shock:]
3. Sandvalley's Little Pepper - Scott & Revonne Butler (Scott)
4. Turkey Creek's Misery - Tom Felinski
RJ. Driven By Design - Ron & Jane Ainley (Ron)
J. Snappy Touch Tone - Gerald Strong (Dave Ward)
J. Way-Da-Go Ready to Play - Ken & Terri Veach (Terri) [HOORAY!]
J. Field of Dreams Blaze of Sun - Patty LaFave (Brad LaFave)
