Takes 2nd in Seniors with Jack and 2nd in Doubles with Steiny and Jack
March 14th, 2010
Heggemeier Game Farm
Higbee, Missouri
Running in soggy, rainy conditions all weekend nine year old Dusty showed that on any given day he can still keep up with the younger dogs. His 2:49 run with Jack and Steiny in Doubles Pointer was only 6 seconds behind the winning run. Picking up scent from the gate bird on the line Dusty had his gate bird pointed at about 30 seconds. Jack took that bird and then Steiny and Dusty picked up the remaining 3 birds in a little over 2 minutes.Chad Bloomer and Jason Spielman won with their English Pointer Stuff.
Running with Jack on Friday in Seniors Pointer Dusty moved beautifully over the field nailing down 4 birds in a little over 6 minutes..a time that could have been considerably faster if his handler was in as good a shape for his age as Dusty. The event was won by Walt Chapman and Tim in 5:11.
Annie ran well all weekend but was not able to place in Pointing Singles and slipped to a tie for 3rd in the Dog of the Year standings.
found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later
Congratulations on a great year Jack. Enjoyed meeting you & your ‘crew’ last fall.
Thanks..the dogs did great. We fell short at the BDC Nationals but overall had a great year. We finish up at the Wisconsin Series Invitational in a couple of weeks.
