Damn Ginny your quick.

For Junior I titled Rosie with that pass.

This was Thors first test he failed today. He did both of that marks and it was a out of order flyer. But on the blind I was lineing him up saying "dead, dead", and once he was lined I said "back" realllllly quick. He flinched and looked at me so I said back again. He did the blind and when he came back in the judge came over to me and told me I was done because I said back twice. It I usually say back slow an drawn out and that works fine. Do I put this fail on me not him. He did great on sat for his second pass.



Frank was entered to run on sat. but he said he had a bad week training so he didnt come. So Mike told him to come today it would give him and Wes some expierence and they were and they passed and Mike and I fail.

Frank is only 15 and Wesley is about a year and a half and this was thier second senior pass. He was 1 of 3 that didnt use his handle.

In seniors today I think only 10 went to the water and 9 passed seniors.

Hey Juli I think this dog Boomer Class Alantic Flyway is a liter mate of the dog your selling.


Ginny ia Ronald Reed your Husband?

Hhhumm. Since his retirement the whiskers haven't been clipped, Ron does now sport a beard. I never met Phil, I'm not sure which one you were referring to as the duck commander.

Paul I got to meet Ralp at the test. I didnt get a chance to see his dog run but the dog was very calm and under control. He said this was his first retriever he trained and just got into waterfowl hunting. Good Luck to him. He is very pleased with his dog and talks very Highly of you.

Ok Ginny I know which one if you husband now. I passed both of his test. He was a great judge. He would talk to you like he was your friend up there and was very helpful at the line. I really enjoyed his test and would love to do another one under him.
