Maxine, Your dog looked good and it was a real shorthair as well. It would have been Best in Show except for the interloper. I'm thinking the list should reinstate the yakker AKA Joan D'Arc as the list content has been pretty boring without her except for the accidental breeding thing. Marriage vows were the answer back in the day. ha ha. I liked the stagged pants, cork boots and the red suspenders you were the quintessential Canadian. For the list: The weather over the weekend was harsh even for Canada. Cold driving rain on Saturday and it was snowing Sunday morning. Even the Canadians were running for cover, squishing around in their "gum" boots. I judged one stake where there was only one judge, me. Kind of limits the options when you can't blame another judge for a bad call. Anyway, the handler was the movie star Pointer lady, First in Show. We were walking and coming into the birdfield, all of a sudden the was a commotion in the gallery, shouting and gunfire. I looked around and saw what I took to be a Black Angus running from the Frazer River shore toward us in the bird field. I asked the handler, Jill, "What's that cow doing in the bird field"? She said "That's no cow it's a bear"! Sure enough and it was a big one. I began to prioritize my tactics, my first thought was to feed the Pointer to the bear (what's one Pointer more or less in the Grand Scheme of things) but the handler fouled that up by scooping up her dog and holding it tighter than a limpet clings to an oyster shell. It was obvious we were going to have to run for it. I wasn't sure I could out run the handler even with her carrying a dog so the question became, should I pretend it was an accident when I tripped her or should I throw caution to the winds and just push her down when I broke for the truck. Luckily for all concerned the bear just wanted to be gone and when last seen he heading north. I saw a bear on the grounds once before, but never saw one that wanted to hunt the birdfield. Another typical Canadian trial except no campfire, no fights, no wives, husbands or siginficant others decamping in favor of some else and no visits by the RCMP. Cheers Bob Johnston

First - Congrats on the new title to the OP!!
And.. Well... you know... let me know next time - I'll bring my black and tan coonhound. She treed her first bear before she was a year old. We took her pheasant hunting 3 times this season and she actually pointed a bird (not traditional point but a freeze) and waited a minute or two for us to catch up and then flushed it. We shot it and the GSP retrieved it (my husband told me I have to teach her to retrieve this summer). She will protect all the GSPs, owners and judges next time a bear comes around!
Its is fun to see the looks on the other hunter's faces at the club when they see her flushing a bird. I don't know if she is just smart or the GSP is very smart for teaching a scent hound how to hunt pheasants! Its funny how many GSP traits she has picked up from
being raised by him.
Love your story!! Sorry you didn't get the RCMP
out....

| Bob,
Thank you for your kind words for COCO!
What will I do for an encore?? I pulled all the stops to entertain our visiting dignitary and cousins from the South.
I am glad that we provided the necessary to stimulate such prose - as many have voiced - has sadly been missed.
Enjoying your every word. Maxine
