Excellent! Especially the discussion of the 3 parts of blinds (beginning, middle, end) and what the judges are looking for. The videography was top notch...I really like the last video clip from the bird throwers station perspective. Nice to see the work of retriever and handler that placed 1st...CONGRATS!

Thank you for the compliments Missy! I am discovering that my wife is a superb editor! The video from the bird station was completely by chance! That individual owns a littetmate to Poppet and told us after the fact that he had recorded her run......BONUS! As far as recording a win, complete coincidence! That was the first Qualifying that my wife had ever been to, so we just wanted to finish in order to obtain the video content! Miss Poppet had been on a role though with a previous 3rd, 4th, 2nd and then the win! Unbelievable odds to record a win!
