Ron and Porter heading for the third series in the Master test at Sauvie Island on Memorial Day weekend In the holding blind at the OHRC Memorial Weekend Hunt Test 2009 Gotta clean the goop out of Porter's eyes if you expect him to be able to see the birds. :) Sunnyview's Full Speed Ahead, "Porter" Waiting to move up to the line in the third series Porter, on the line, waiting for the birds to fall... The judge signals the gunners and the bird is launched... Porter, in the water, headed for the go bird... Picking up the first mark And with a splash, he's on his way back to the line He makes it back, even if he can't see where he's going with a wing in his face... sitting at the line, delivering the bird to hand (which was our downfall the week before in Salem) Lining up to get the next bird and soon coming back with the bird returning to the line with the last bird getting ready to enter the water... caught in mid-air, returning to the line Success! Porter's first Master ribbon!

This was the second series for the May 24-25 test. This is the first bird of the triple at 9:00 to the line... This is the second bird down, in a tough breaking test. This bird is right in front of the working dog... And the third bird down is an in-your-face shot flyer. And if it wasn't tough enough to work it, now the flyer is right in front of the honor dog.
