Derby call backs to the 3rd.

1,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14,16,17,20,21

 

Heard by phone that a dog went down in the open - didn't come back in with the bird and they found him in the field. A quad with high cover and I think 3 retired. RIP brave friend.

 

Open has been scrapped after running about 30 dogs and losing one. Heard they will start again in the morning. Derby 4rth will be ran in the morning i think they lost 2 dogs 20 , and 21, so 11 back. Not sure if those 2 numbers are a 100 percent right, bad cell reception.

 

Oh no. That is terrible. My condolences to whoever this dog was special to.

 

Sure hated to hear about the dog going down. It is 78 degrees so it isn't hot by normal standards. A long quad with three retired results in a lot of running. Throw in a hunt or two and it could be a real long way to run. Also it is early in trial season and some dogs may not be in the best of shape. Of course the dog that went down could have had some other issue unknow other than heat. Regardless, I hate it for everyone involved. I'm told some dogs have been picked up for fear of over heating. After the incident the field trial committee was meeting to discuss what happened. Don't know the outcome of that. Just a sad deal all the way around. Also think at least a couple of dogs were going to scratch after the incident.. it would be hard to run and follow that. I heard it was a nice test just long and lots of birds to pick up. My heart also goes out to all involved.

John, So sorry to hear about your boy. I've seen him run several trials and he was sure one fine animal. Great looking dog and a very good performer. So sorry for you, your family, and for your pro who I am sure is also very upset as well. I can't imagine the pain you're going through. It makes me sick at my stomach to think about it. You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers tonight...

Gene

 

I am very sorry to hear this....condolences from us.

 

John, sorry to hear about your dog. I was at the derby...the humidity seemed really high today. The cover in the fields is high as well. Bad situation all the way around...

 

John, I am so sorry for you!!

 

John sorry to hear about your Loss. The jones family will be keeping you and all the parties involved in our thoughts and prayers.

 

John

I don't know what to say, except that we are so sorry. Kate and I were just two in the entire gallery that did all we could do for Cole. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

 

John,

I did not know which dog went down. I am heart sick for you and know that those at the trial are heart sick for you as well. My prayers for you and Greg.

John, I'm so very sorry to learn of the accident with Cole.

I promise you that he went out doing what he loved.

My sincerest condolences to you my friend.

I promise you that he went out doing what he loved.

Amen to that.

Further, everyone here is a dog person and knows how John feels, so our wishes are sincere. Cole was a family member.

John, you and your's are in our prayers.

 

So Sad for you, John, and to Greg Lister. Heaven has another great companion among them.

 

May peace be with you and Cole,

 

so sorry to hear about the loss of Cole - may he rip. It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will be come as generous and loving as they are. author unknown.

Paul, I know not what happened but this is for sure a tragedy for all involved. I do not think your post serves any useful purpose. HPW

If no other purpose, let it serve as reminder to every judge.

I am sure the judges feel terrible and this was certainly not intentional. I am just very upset.

Lets hope that this brings an increased sense of awareness to the dangers of hypertherthermia and how quickly it can take a dogs life.
