Dog Days.

Saturday started much like it ended - incredibly hot.  The only relief was brought by the fact there there was a light wind.   Although the increase in wind did destroy one of the canopies therefore decreasing the availability of shade.  Tracking seemed to have improved over the week.  There was no moisture to speak of but either the dogs are adjusting to the summer conditions or the handlers are compensating with a little additional aid.  Likely a combination of both are taking place.  There was a slightly smaller crowd at Chandler but as usual plenty of dogs to work.  Shar, Keli, and Joseph all look well on their way to achieving titles in the fall.  With all the hard work taking place, and a little bit of luck, it should be a great trial in November.  Stephen, Craig, and Monty split up the helper work and we were able to get everyone worked before we got to the hottest part of the day.  Seminar plans are still being discussed so please keep us advised as to your interest and availability.
