Fricke N Coco wins Runner-Up at the Region 13 Championship

Coco wins Runner-Up at the Region 13 Championship with 9 finds and a back. The winner was Sweet River Lace with Mike Panovski. We were both braced together, and it was an awesome brace to be in, with Lace also having 6 finds and 3 backs. Both dogs were nice on the ground and reached to the front. I was just happy to be running in the trial, as Coco's puppies just turned 8 weeks old today, and were totally weaned about 2-3 weeks ago, giving me about 2 weeks to try and get her ready for a quail championship, and she did great. She was gorgeous on all of her finds, ran strong, and held her own against the pointer who was more of a horseback type of dog. It was a fun weekend and the only trial I got to run in all spring, and also my first piece of a championship as a handler. It was a good way to end as a first year shooting dog, especially since she has maybe been ran 6-8 times since last fall. I am excited for the fall with her, and her pups, which all seem to look real good so far.
