What a way to start our second year on the Field Trial circuit! Team Hidden Acres had a weekend to celebrate. Four of our youngsters got their feet wet last Friday, in their first ever AKC Derby. Hidden Acres On the Rocks, aka "Ice"( 16 months), Hidden Acres Git-R-Done, aka "Larry" (15 months), Hidden Acres Outlaw on the Run, aka " Clyde" (12 months), Dominator's Say When, aka " Doc" (12months), showed a definite maturity and determination among much older dogs running in the their field at The Benton Retriever Grounds in Princeton,MN. Two of the team of dogs would move on with the field of eleven to the 3rd and final series, and both would finish the test. Clyde delivered a nearly flawless test front footing 5 of 6 birds, including the flyer (only dog to do so), to secure his 1st place finish, while Ice would hook the very last gun securing her the 4th place. These guys sure know how to start the Fall Field Trial Season!!! With a start like this, the team is even more focused and the taste of victory is stronger...where will we go...what will we do...who will wear blue!?! Stay tuned for future results and debuts of the rest of our Derby dogs.
