The Zone

[Coalman]

So much is written about hunt tests and field trials. It almost dominates some of the lab retriever web sites.

Since it is deer season and Bay has not been in the woods I have been trolling these sites to get my bird hunting fix.

My utmost praise goes out to those trainers who have the time, the drive and quality of canines to finish their dogs.

I admit to a little jealousy when a dog earns one of many titles as they climb the ladder to success. Sadness also comes over me to because Bay tries hard but could never compete at those levels. Partly because of my commitment to her training.

But as I think, Bay has more than enough ribbons. I am very proud of her accomplishments and would like to share them with you.

Junior Hunter Ribbon



First Team Ribbon



First Wild Bird Ribbon



First Solo Pheasant Hunt Ribbon



Master Chukka Ribbon



Senior Team Ribbon



Junior Waterfowl Ribbon



And by far my most cherished to date.....

Junior Partridge Ribbon



With all these ribbons we are going to have to get a bigger freezer.
