Land Blinds and Play

Riggs Road

CONDITIONS: A bitter cold day for training, as it was for Barack Obama's inauguration in nearby Washington, DC. Subfreezing temps, a light covering of snow still on the ground, wind calm, and bright sunlight.

SERIES A. Triple land blind (both dogs)

The field at Riggs Road is large but nearly featureless. Thru the thin layer of snow, sparse, high grass stood up from the low, clumpy grass that covers the entire field.

Running from a single SL, I ran each dog in turn on a triple blind of 130-170-230 yards. All the blinds were ducks marked with LPs, which were nearly invisible in the high grass.

After the blinds, we had a session of happy throws and chase games with the ducks before taking refuge from the cold back in the van.
