Temps in the single digits,3-4 inches of snow..... Sounds like a great weekend for a walking trial!!!!!!!! So it was horribly cold this weekend at Branched Oak near Lincoln Nebraska, but fun was had. I ran in four stakes and received 3 placements.

Saturday:
By puppy Reno in his first field trial ever went out and surpirsed me with a VERY well deserved 2nd place in the open puppy stake.

Next was my gundog who ran the best course she had ever ran, 1st bird a walking bird handled great, 2nd bird alil flopper bird that flop about 2 feet in front of her handled great, 3rd bird she scooped!!!! O'well there's always next time...

Dixie who has been my superstar ran without a bracemate in the Amateur Derby and ran okay but not great and received a third out of 13, there were alot of really nice young dogs.

Sunday:

Dixie ran in the Open Derby and did her thing and WON!!!!!!!!! Giving her 3 open points at 14 months of age.

So I brought home a 3rd,2nd, and a 1st...I was really glad when I got that Blue!!!

Had a great time it just could've been alil warmer.

Rob, congrats on the big weekend. Still want to come out this fall. My mom past away last Oct and i just couldn't get it together in time. I did get to Courtland in mid Dec for 3 days but it wasn't the same without my dogs . keep up the good work with the dogs. Tony

Tony sorry to hear about your mother. I'm going try to get a sweet chicken spot lined up this year for ya when you get up here. Got another ranch I've got a lead on its only about 10,000 acres in the heart of chicken country!!!!

Sounds like you've had a pretty good spring with your dog as well...

Rob

Way to go! I would have never made it out of the truck.
