Summer tests get the season started with a bang!
Zuri earned a Gun Dog Prize 3, with some beautiful field work and even better water work. The heat, humidity, and incredibly thick grass made for a challenging day, but she gave it her all. We’re so proud of her!
Irka had a fantastic field run, earning 4s in search, steadiness, and pointing, and a 3 on her retrieve. Unfortunately, what I thought was a minor limp turned out to be a fractured toe. I should have listened to my gut and pulled her
—a tough reminder that there’s always something to learn.
Despite the challenges, it was a great day doing what we love most: watching our dogs work, watching them light up in the field, and seeing that natural drive and focus come through. 🐾❤️
So proud of these girls and grateful for days spent doing what they were bred to do!
