Work Summary


Thus far, dogs have done varied things on this tests, with some big and ranging hunts in the field to the left of the long retired mark that then recover to the bird or handle, to a dog that went right of the boat, deep to the peninsula and then continued deep to the long bird, and hunts short of the boat bird.   

Here Joanne Mackey, #27, watches her dog set out for the next bird.
