What a weekend! Terry Wilson’s Ugly Dog Hunting Co. hosted a get together at Arlington, Georgia’s Quail Country Plantation and we were invited. It was a chance to enjoy true southern hospitality as well as a traditional plantation hunting experience with a twist: UGLY DOGS were doing the hard work.
We were treated to an incredible exhibition of finished versatile hunting dog work, particularly of Terry’s wirehair Tank when braced with Tim Clark’s shorthair Troy, a NAVHDA versatile champion. Watch the point and steadiness to wing-shot-fall. If only I’d had a wider lens you could see Tim’s dog honor both the point and the retrieve! [You’ll see much better video when Lynn and director Tad Newberry’s footage finds it’s way to Wingshooting USA next fall. For now, you’ll have to put up with my very raw amateur video.]
Looks like fun. Can’t wait for Luna to be at that stage. I have a feeling we will need a lot more practice. Though yesterday she was steady to wing-shot-fall on 2 out of 3. There is hope 😉

In my book, two out of three is excellent work!
