Matt Smiths
"Buddy". takes second at the Vizsla Club of No California field
trial on the weekend of March 26-28th. Buddy is a very nice dog
that is border line All Age but runs a really nice Shooting Dog
race. The grounds at Kistler Ranch lend themselves to this type
dog. Big open country, distant objectives and cover for birds.
Buddy loves this type country and shows really well at grounds
like this. He had a powerful breakaway and showed up to the
front at the first turn. Blowing him on we see him at about 400
yards to the front headed for the corner hill in which most dogs
ignore. After his find at this spot with a shot killed bird, and
a retrieve he was watered at one of the many water sources on
these grounds. Sent ahead he of course blasts off to take the
front again and meets us at the thick covered tree area. He
works every inch of this area thoroughly and is found standing
at 26 minutes high and tight. Time was called after the bird
work and he was awarded a second place for his performance and
effort. Very nice job. He should to do many great things in this
young dogs future.
