Amy and I made a good team. She was my first field dog.. (and first flat coat..). She did finish her championship thanks to the help of many as I rarely let her into the ring. We made it thru Senior Hunter and finished 3 of her five legs for Master. Sadly she was just peaking when we had to quit field training and running in tests due to the economy.
My very first field event was in 2004 up at the Specialty. We had been training for about 3 months it was quite exciting to place 3rd in unsteady singles.
Then a few years went by and we accomplished a lot together. She learned to handle well and was a good marker as she matured.. You have to love watching the experienced dogs as they turn towards their next memory mark as they hand off a bird. She was quite lovely and biddable, and excellent companion, very easy to be around.
Yes, Amy we made a great team and I miss you.
Scott
