On 4-21-13 I got to the German Wirehair Pointer Club of Oregon trial at Madras, Ore. Lot of nice photo's but every once in a while I get pretty lucky. This was the call back for retrieving and shows all the steps but the pickup; that was to far off.
The point
Release to retrieve
Going out for the retrieve
Coming back with the bird
Finish to hand
It was a pretty long retrieve but this dog made the mark right on, straight to the bird! Best retrieve I saw that day.
