I took Tressie to NC for the USDR hunt 02-02-2008. She placed fifth in the bench show. I had to compete against all the females not just feist. It was a state hunt and so all the dogs went at the same time. We had a good time and met good folks.
We went to Baileyton Tennessee today, 02-09-2008. Cindy and I took our oldest grandson Seth with us. I entered Tressie in the bench competition. We won class, breed and best of show female. We picked up 35 points towards her bench champion 100 points. After the treeing contest I took her to the tree and she barked at the squirrel. Randy told me to let her go and when I did she treed and barked hard.
Brandon and I took Tressie and Opie to our first squirrel hunt today. Tressie placed 2nd and Opie placed third in our cast. Tressie placed 4th and Opie placed 5th in the overall scoring in the hunt. It was awesome to have them both tree in our first hunt with them. We are on our way to sq champ. and Tressie is now only 15 points away from making bench champ.
