Dot had the fastest run of the day, and ended up with a great run but it took 2nd. I had to call a safety on one bird because the shot would have been at a house. One more shot bird would've gave us the win or simply 6 seconds faster. Either way, Dot really has come around to be one excellent competition bird dog, doesn't matter if they're quail, chukar or pheasants her ability to find them and retrieve them to hand is superior.

April 2024 Dot is really coming around she is fast in the field. Dot very quickly covers ground and if there are any upland birds she finds them. Dot's enthusiasm at making retrieves really shows at running birds down even on the longest of retrieves and then bringing them back to hand.

April 14th 2024 Dot laid down another great run, she has really become a consistently fast dog in competitions. Dakota, Dot's Sire made the winning run with a Lab Aru getting 2nd. On Saturday Dot got 1st & Sunday 3rd, and Dakota 2nd Saturday and 1st on Sunday. Dot & Dakota were the only two to place in the top 3 each day.

Dot & Dixie ran the field very nicely each dog getting excellent coverage of their area, both quickly finding birds. When a chukar was flushed and shot, each dog honored the other dog's retrieve. Dot & Dixie are related, Dixie's Grand Sire is Dakota and Dot's Sire is Dakota.
