BEMIDJI UPDATE
July/27/2011
Saturday's cooler weather was a welcome relief for the start of the second Master test of the weekend. The first series of this test was a land triple including a "wipeout" bird. The second series water test was a double with a flyer "go" bird shot out over the water with two carefully placed "hot" blinds. Sunday's third series consisted of a water double and a single land blind. Three challenging series gave every dog handler team all they wanted.
Five more ribbons were earned by Stellar retrievers in this second Master test. Congratulations goes to Whiskey,owned by Gregg Lohse, Icey owned by Bill & Judy Davis, Idgie handled by Marthy Thompson, and Blackie owned and handled by Robert Rascoe, for passing both of their Master tests. (Again, Spur owned and handled by Robert Rascoe and Dakota owned by Lance Hafner passed one each.)
Star oned by Lee & Bill Hanes, Asta, and Johnny owned by Bill & Carolyn Cox, three of Idgie's puppies, passed their first ever Senior test on Sunday. Their older sister Ethyl, owned and handled by Marty Thompson, passed as well, giving her a total of four Senior passes.
We're now back in Ironwood for two weeks, training for another double Master in Duluth,Mn which begins Friday 8-5-11. Don't forget the closing this Wednesday!
