It's not easy taking photos while running your dog! I spent a lot of the day behind a bush so I couldn't see what was coming, and nerves add to the usual camera shake. But here are a few:

A good time was had by all, as they say.

Great photo's again Sue. I just love the one of Cooper looking so business like even if the final result was complete crap. 3 series out of 4 on water left us at a disadvantage.

3rd......... I'll never live it down. (for goodness sake don't tell Graham)

Never mind October now and "a hunting we will go"

Wow and I know you. Makes looking at the photos better.

Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing. Love those brown dogs

Very nice Sue and thanks for posting!

Never live it down? There was very little to separate the Open dogs. As spectators, none of us had a clue who was in front, and didn't JB say there were only 6 points between 1st and 4th? They were all great.
