Coupla' Silverstrike bred pointers.
First time my buddy Rich has been in the winner's circle without me scouting for him - blows my theory that all our previous wins were due to my great scouting!
Little brag for our hunting/training/trialing team - that makes 14 one hour championship placements for our wild bird trained hunting dogs for whatever that's worth. Now they're looking at 4 months of what we really have 'em for - hunting some birds! Sharpies open in the morning, trailer's hooked up, shotguns in the cases, a gazillion dogs in the kennels ready to go at first light!
