From then on it was classic. Straight over, pick up the duck and straight back. Heeled to the Honor site, stood while the other dog retrieved the duck, and we were done. Lots of hugs when we crossed the final line! Final score 196, with the only flaw at the double mark. A flaw I attribute to han- dler error. And a new VC is born! To run an event such as the Invitational requires a lot of volunteers. My husband and I, along with Lily, had signed up to work at the Honor site and were scheduled for Saturday. When the cry for help came again, we signed up for Sunday as well and were placed as the Blind test dog and again at the Honor site. Helping at an event like this is great fun and a wonderful learning process. It’s a front row seat to watch the dogs work. VC Lily loves to work and had great fun retrieving duck after duck. My appreciation of NAVHDA judges grew to a new level. From the first time I tested in NAVHDA, I was told the judg- es really wanted me to pass. This became very evident at the Blind on Saturday. About mid-day the wind changed direc- tion, and the judges were worried about the dogs scenting the ducks at the Honor site. The judges stopped the test and moved the entire Honor event to the other side of the Blind. This involved calling for clip- to volunteer. You will not be disappointed. prepared for the test.
