Up bright and early this morning to exercise the two young dogs somewhere where there’d be many swimming opportunities. Our route to a favorite cover/swimming hole takes us past a State Game Mgt. Area that hosts a lot of field tests – quite a few trucks in the lot at 7 AM, so I thought I’d stop in, say hi and kibitz a bit. Turns out it was a Pudelpointer fall test – judges included Rich Dobey, Dave Trahan and Blaine Carter. I watched one dog run…

…then spent an hour running around our swimmin’ hole cover…

…then back to the testing grounds in time to see the last two dogs run the bird field. The last pup up was a nice Small Munsterlander.

And, in case you hadn’t seen enough of the main event – Pudelpointer face time.
