Great Weekend of Competitions!!

Well, Quinebaug Kennels and our clients had a wonderful weekend with the pointing dogs!
Joe Carito our head trainer ran his first NAVDHA test with a young GWP, Gunner, and they achieved a 112 pt prize 1 on Saturday at the Bristol Fish and Game Club.
I ran dogs at the Yankee Weimarnaner Club at Sugar Brook on Saturday. I ran a client Viszla in Master and Juli did SO well on the back course, steadiness, calling off birds, and her points were awesome. She had a lousy retrieve, so we did not pass, BUT I was thrilled with her progress! Next I ran two client dogs in Junior. Italian Spinone Gulia ran her first test. The conditions were tough, and she found a bird and pointed well, very steady, but then went into self hunt mode and tuned me out! The other pup, GWP Teal had 4 amazing points and got her 3rd JH leg.
On Sunday, Quinebaug Kennel dogs rocked the tests! Joe ran Gulia, Teal and Gunner in Junior and got 3 passes. Teal got her Junior Hunt Title. Great job Joe!
John Morris ran his dog Juli and she was awesome this time, with a great retrieve and her FIRST Master pass. A huge congrats to all dogs and handlers!
