Hytest Skyhawk: Picked up at 1:43Jetsetter: Ran a strong, well applied, forward race; finished the three hours with 3 finds and 1 unproductive

Jetsetter made a respectable bid and this youngster will be back, I'm sure.

So in celebration of that unique brace....y'all get to see some of the same 'ole boring pics of Teigen pointing birds(I promise, soon I'll mix it up!). Today marked the first sighting of paired up Partridge on two finds today, although on the third find the covey was still intact, I'm quite confident that it's that time of the year. What's great about working the dogs on pairs are more opportunity's and since we're talking mature birds this time of the year, they put off quite a bit of scent, during ideal conditions and hold extremely tight. Great for experienced dogs and young pups.

Jim joined us today, sans John and he had three opportunity's with a face full of scent and birds.
