They sure are. They are of course well- conditioned ahead of time for weeks + and are still rarin" to go after 3 hours. Something wonderful to watch. :)

:goodstuff: My choice : Shadow Oaks Bo: 7 finds to day, great run
Is two years in a row possible ?
According http://thefieldtrialer.com/forum/ it has been 86 years there was a 2X setter champion. Whether it was a back to back championship I don't know, but that is a long time.
PS When you get back from holidays Ugo , get your $$ ready. :)
Well if a Setter is going to win it will have to be up to Bo as Prodigy's Bonfire the only other setter has been withdrawn.
That's too bad. The weather has gone from 21degrees to 68 since Day1 . Makes a difference on when you were drawn to run for sure. Birds hunker down in the cold , snowy weather and scenting is more difficult.
Been something like 83 years since there was a setter double champion
Correction - 86 years
Apparently the bithc went into heat. Wouldn't that just be such a disappointment if you were the handler /owner and had paid that big entry fee not to mention the opportunity? Females. They can be such a p.i.t.a.:)Quote:

Yes ! Wonderful 2x NC . Unbelievable. Not many will be able to afford those pups. :)
( Quester gave him good competition. - had 6 finds, 1 STF , and a UP- From 2 on the ground he was very strong to the end of the 3 hour brace.)
PS
"in the past Bo's race is more consistant with the judge's current interpretation of the Amesian standard. Quester is sometimes a bit stronger, requiring more scouting. And there is the stop to flush, that could be a demerit, just depends on how and why, and what the judges saw." quote Neil
