Once a year, our 4-H dog club raises money by working field trials for a local retriever club. Got 3 disks full of pics today, AWESOME dogs in action! I'll break this into two posts (and NO I am not going to post them all)!
Yours truly, towards the top of the trestle. (Good God! Who gave that woman a gun?!)
Poor Whitney had to throw ducks while precariouly balancing on rocks at the water's edge.
Shot this in the morning during land retrievals. Whitney and I were stationed for water retrievals at the left hand side of the bridge, down on the rocks. Whitney was tossing by hand, not far out from the rocks, but the other station was set up off to the right of us and was using a sling to get the birds out to the far end of the pond. I got tired just watching the dogs swim. LOL!
This black fellow was a real rip snorter! Swam like the devil!
This chocolate lab did a heck of a job!
Bringing the bird in!
There were more ladies at this hunt test than I have ever seen before!
Another gal and her dog.
