Handles and Hunts...


...are the norm this morning. The field to the left of the right-hand mark is as attractive as ever. Dog #82 has just handled on the retired bird, and a photo of #83's hander can be seen in the previous post.  

#84 gets ready with handler Joe Cooper ... 

Some dogs are hunting and then recovering, as well.
