Catching Up, Coco wins John Hadaway Coverdog Classic

Got a little lazy with updating this over the winter, so will start there. Coco was with Robert down south for most of the winter, she picked up a couple of nice wins in some local trials down there getting a first and a second. She also put down a nice 9 find performance in one of the Championships down there but did not get used. A couple of weeks ago she competed in Marienville in the Grand National Invitational, which included the top 14 cover-dogs in the country from last season. From there Robert drove to Gladwin in Michigan where she bested a field of 36 dogs to win the John Hadaway Coverdog Classic hosted by the Lake States Field Trial Club. She had 2 woodcock during her hour and a beautiful grouse within seconds of the judges calling time, which was not needed for to clinch the win, but was still impressive to go along with a strong hour on the ground. She also did a nice job this weekend in the Beaverton finishing a strong brace with a woodcock find with temperatures flirting with 80 degrees. Next weekend she will be competing in the Great Lakes Championship at Highland Michigan, and from there I will be bringing her home for the year. All in all its been a great season, hopefully we can close it out with another win!
