3rd Series Test Dogs

Honga’s Over and Under Beretta QA2, “Rett,” LM
Owner: 
Deborah Gardner
Handler: 
Deborah Gardner

First up was Rett and handler Deborah Gardner ... Rett came to the line at 7:15 am

Flyer – Out to the fall area - nice hunt and he found his duck

Middle Retired – Into tree area where the gunners hide - hunted around the trees and hunted the cattails, but kept missing this rooster that landed in the heavy cattails.

Right Retired – Crashed through the pond on his way to the long bird. Covered a wide area in front of the holding blind and then behind, but he worked it out and got his bird.

This test took Rett 12 minutes to complete.




Warren-Hill’s Celtic Quest, “Brannagh,” LF
Owners: Peggy and Brian Knowles
Handler: Peggy Knowles


Our second test dog to the line today was Brannagh with handler Peggy Knowles .... Brannagh came to the line at 7:30 am

Flyer – Good line, a few loops under the arc and she got her duck.

Middle Retired – Beached right and went to the top of the hill and hunted far right of the bird. Hunted in cover on the way to the bird area, and she got it!

Right Retired – Hunted the area right and left, but needed to be handled to this bird.

This test took Brannagh 9 minutes to complete.
