We entered Talon in a Master Hunt Test last weekend. She passed both days and has now passed 5 out of 6 attempts. One more pass to complete the Trifecta and become a FC/AFC/ MHThat will probably be a while as if things go as planned she will be taking a break from the field to be a mommy.   Heading to the start line on day 2. I think she knows where she's going!  This pic and the next two are action shots as Talon launches from the start line.   |

Is that a tracking collar on Talon? I thought they weren't allowed in hunt tests... maybe I'm wrong, so please help out!!  |

Yes that is a tracking collar. About a year ago AKC approved their use, if the test giving club authorized it in the premium.
Although our dogs aren't runoffs, when the use of a tracker is permitted,,,,we use them.
Talon will be bred to FC Ladys Night Out, AKA: "Lute" or "Lutie"
She usually comes into season around April 1st

Thanks, Mav.
Talon came into season yesterday. I talked to Norm today to arrange the breeding. It looks like a go.
We are excited about this breeding as Talon is probably our best field trial dog, and Lutie has won/placed in a lot of big stakes when he was on Jimmy Berneathy's string. And it will be a strong line breeding on the Gunrunner lines.

Sounds like you will have some very nice pups on the ground soon.
Are you two planning on attending the Nationals again this year ?
Let me know, I would be happy to buy you both a beer.
