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!

WELCOME TO MY WORLD
