BUFFY and MOZZIE bring home the bacon!

At the Sunflower Retriever Club Field Trial, Buffy took Second in the Amateur and Mozzie took Second in the Qualifying.

Mootsie was clean going into the fourth series of the Open, but could not come up with the money bird.

Ace and Zowie made it to the fourth series of the Amateur, but the wipeout bird blew them up.  Fortunately, it did not blow up Buffy!

CLOSING THE DEAL

Pikes Peak - Ace

Fort Collins - Ace Second

Rocky Mountain - Buffy

Missouri Valley - Zowie Third

Topeka - Ace

GETTING STARTED IN FIELD TRIALS



The 2003 National Amateur. My pro, Cherylon Loveland, training partners John Goetll and Marvin Frye, and their wonderful dogs, FC/AFC Cache La Poudre Slyvester, and FC/AFC Calyspo's Devil in the Dust. And, of course, me, and AFC Freeridin Wowie Zowie.



What a thrill for the LOVELAND POWER COMPANY!
