The winning bitch ran superbly today and by all accounts was the same yesterday, I was at the front of the line for one of her runs and she was very eye catching and she made two fabulous retrieves on a cock pheasant and a woodcock. There was a run-off to decide 1st and 2nd places.
I have photos but haven't got them off the camera yet!
