Canadian Master National

Tundra is now a National Master Hunter!  He passed a week long series of tests where only 18 of the 40 dogs entered passed.


 
Day one land series
This was a triple with a blind up the middle.

 
Star didn't make it though the tests but did some nice work.


 
Day 2 water series
This was an interrupted triple with the first two birds being in line.  The blind was through the middle.

Here is Star mesmirized by the mojo where she missed seeing the long bird and ended our National journey, which just means we get to go to Quebec next year :0)

 
Day 3 Upland
 The start of the quarter
 Tunnie flushes the bird
 and sits to the whistle...whew!

Day 4 land series
 
 This was a walkup with an honour, triple and two blinds.  Star was test dog for this and stepped on the marks did a nice job on the first blind and had a little trouble with the blind over the old fall.

Day 5 water test
 
 
 

 
This series was a triple with a breaking bird and a shoreline blind past a gun station.  Tundra did a really nice job on this blind.
 
 
Well done Chris and Tundra!!!

So far this summer

Its been a very busy summer.  We've been doing some judging and a lot of  training and trying to keep cool.

I noticed I forgot to post Tundra's double header in the Master at the HHrc trial in June.  Star also ran one day and passed as well.


Star also picked up another Master pass at LOC.


Other than that we've been just trying to keep cool :0)

At the beach....




and at home with the pool and hose....







Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
