Yes dog lovers, it will soon be the first Minnesota Dog Squad gathering of the new year. But alas, our leader, our hero, and our namesake will not be here to join us. Believe it or not, The Big Dog, all six foot nine and 467 pounds of him, (and we aren't talking about his height) will remain in Duluth, Minnesota. Word has it that some of his hotter bitches will be in town and might be in heat. You all know what happens to a male dog when confronted by a hot female. I hear tell the howling and scratching can be heard for blocks around the Big Dogs kennel. Not only that, but the snow banks on the whole block have been stained yellow as the Dog has been scenting for the last three weeks!
The Prez, The Piddler and Almost Hairless have already arrived at the Dollar. Last to show will be The Schnauzer. Today the Piddler and The Prez did a little warming up. Both attempted to fetch 100 of each kind of retrieve in the Silver Dollars White Flyer shoot. The Piddler was awesome today. The little squirter tallied 100 in the singles, only an 89 in the caps but recorded another 100 in the doubles, the second of his retrieving career. The Prez kept pace with the 100 singles, squeeked by the Piddler in the caps with a 92, but lost it in the doubles with a 96. Of course the Piddler has acquired a bad case of "hard mouth" after this once in a Piddler lifetime day. The Prez was forced to remove the roof on his golf cart to accomodate the Piddlers now large cranium. Unfortunately, Almost Hairless was out touring with Mrs. Almost and missed the Piddlers achievement.
Look for the complete and accurate report here on Trapshooters as this field trial continues in the upcoming week. We will, of course, have all the retrieving reports as well as the special interest stories that seem to follow this bunch of Dogs wherever they roam. We will also likely have reports on the Big Dog himself, via satellite of course, as he sniffs out Duluth's hottest 150 pounders.
