Flint earned his Field Dog Junior in his first 3 attempts with consistent scores of 84, 85, 85. In sustained winds of 30 km/hr, he covered the back course and bird field then made his way into the forest and slammed on point on his quail that had made its way up into the trees. Not knowing how I was going to flush, I walked in anyway, the quail flew out of the tree and I got a shot off. On his last attempt on chukar with zero wind and high humidity, he had a stop to flush then 2 solid points and threw in a retrieve to hand of a third; a cripple he honed in on that was missed in the earlier FDX runs. My judge commented as we walked out, "I'd hunt behind that dog!" A nice remark for a junior dog that had never worked chukar.
