Thanks Jakezilla. I'm pulling for the longest long shot running - Progidy's Bonfire/Ray Warren. It's one of only 2 setters running and it's a female - talk about "underdog"!
Wouldn't be surprised if I knew some of the breeding behind this Bonfire beatch, such as Hytest Sky Hawk - the 1st setter to win the Quail Championship Invitational in 30 years or so. We were going to breed to him some years ago but it never did happen. Now, I don't know that PB is out of Sky Hawk so don't quote me. Just lookin' at her gives me that impression.
Then I'll have to go with "Shadow Oaks Bo " Robin Gates. :) 2 years in a row would be a long shot though.

Sounds like the weather is contributing to the outcome. It's unfortunate.

Wow. Really nicely done up. Thanks. Gives me hope for Spring. :)
I assume dogs are allowed to wear Garmin tracking collars ?
Yes , but the Judge carries your transmitter. You can't track where your dog is. :) Asking for the transmitter removes you from that brace. It 's a great thing as there is no need for a dog to be lost anymore . Unfortunately they can still get hit by a car.
3 hour braces! These dogs are the real deal aren't they.Quote:
