Sometimes it just ain’t your day. The GCK crew gave it all we had and still came up just a little bit short at the HRC International Grand there is so much luck involved in passing this event and Lady Luck just wasn’t on our side this week.
HRCH Lex caught the first swing of bad luck on Saturday and had to run in the pouring rain and low visibility and even though he gave it his all just couldn’t quite find that long memory bird.
HRCH Knox was running her first Grand and she smoked the first series and then her lack of age and experience caught up to her in the 2nd series and she had to double handle.
HRCH Nate ran a great Grand, gave everything he had and was one bird away in the 4th series from going to the upland but just couldn’t quite dig it out and pointed out in the 4th. Extremely proud of him and his effort.
HRCH Yogi (one grand pass) made it all the way to the 5th series upland, he did great on his walk up birds, flushed the chukar, sat for the shots, and the chukar fluttered down still alive less than 5yds from him… and we all know that boy is just too high strung for all that, so we went out on a controlled break. Heartbreaking.
I can’t express how proud I am of all our dogs and the effort we gave as a team and very thankful to these dogs owners for trusting GCK to train and handle these phenomenal animals.
Time to train train train and get ready for the rematch in St Louis come October!!
