Sparkle still Shines

ACCOLADE!
"Sparkle" brought us two ribbons at the 2011 MIRRC Spring Informal. This wonderful Labrador Retriever is a girl who continues to put smiles on our faces. She has never failed a test! Special thanks to Mark Vossbein, her pro-trainer and handler. Alan and I, along with all our dogs here at BWCA Labs, are grateful for your time, service and talent.

This photograph is taken of her spotting me, her owner, hiding alongside a parked truck. I am way off in the distance; I am using my big lens on the camera. Stinker! I just can't fool her! She was running in Qualifier - Mark Vossbein at her side - in the first blind...waiting their turn. On April 30th she won 4th place. On May 1st she won 3rd place. The winner's on both days were seasoned older Master Hunt dogs...and I wish I had those names and stats in order, too...for we enjoy all the dogs and their wonderful owners; we had a blast! Love being out in the fields, getting the fresh air, enjoy watching the action, an spending a little time at the clubhouse - all of it...simply a great hobby! The dogs - the athletes - are magnificent! The Minnesota Iron Range Retriever Club is a great organization for retriever enthusiasts.
