Great weekend at the inaugural hunt test for the Northern California Pointing Labrador Club. So awesome to see these dogs do what they are bred for and loving it!
Friday and the weekend was like a homecoming for me and Grace – the expertise, passion and joy everyone demonstrated deeply resonated with me. As a coach, I hope you will enjoy your time with your “player”.

It was a joy to see the puppies build confidence. From their first exposure to the second. Seeing dogs point naturally for the first time was amazing.
