Protection

A good cool day up at Port Royal school field. JoJo brought Gunner, Ann worked Basco, Stan brought his old rottie bitch and Rawn's daughter had the young dobie pup.
We started Aron with running 2, 3 and 4 blinds. He did perfectly for the tug in my hands and then with the helper on the field cracking the whip he needed a real strong "Revier" to get him started. Thankfully he listens well, so when he rounded 2 and headed straight for 4 he stopped and came back to me with a strong "No!" "Hier!". After the first time he ran all four beautifully, almost like he had to test it out to see if I would let him get away with it. In the fight with the helper Jojo went to the ground and once he lay down, Aron dragged his dead weight a good 6' before he slipped the sleeve. We finished both sessions with a drag bite.
Madison unfortuneatly seemd a bit confused.. She came out of the truck ready and raring to go and then after running 1 headed at speed for 2, but 15 feet before the blind, altered course 5deg to the right and headed off the field to do a perfect, fast sit in front before Maureen. It had something to do with the liver treats in her pocket. Damn chow hound, what kinda rottie is she anway...

All in all a good day.
