SR Victory’s Follow the Leader RN CD JH WCX “Piper” owned by Neal & Helenmary Cody, went up to Sparta, NJ with Helenmary for a very windy WCX test run by the Garden State Golden Retriever Club and was one of only 3 out of 9 dogs who qualified! Most of the dogs made it to water, but the combination of the wind a a lot of glare gave many of them problems. Piper handled it with aplomb.
I’d like to thank the GSGRC for running a nice test (in spite of the wind, their gunners only missed 2 out of 30 flyers) and judges Samantha Thompson and John Baitinger for being so pleasant to run under.
