Put Your Hair Up...


Ladies, and men with long hair... let the wind be your friend! Men and women with short hair that have any affinity toward the importance of wind when running tests with dogs, particularly blinds, know that wind can change several times in the course of one time to the line...and where that wind is when you send your dog, or when you give a cast, can affect your dog's overall performance a hundred-fold, or more.  

A conscious nature to the clues from the wind on your neck or your ear can enhance team performance...

...and wind surely is playing into a lot of what we're seeing on this blind.
