Flint Ridge Ranger ran in the NBHA National Invitational Open Shooting Dog Championship today. He finished the hour with one find, one unproductive and an OK race. The 8 day frigid conditions a week or so ago didn’t help his conditioning. His litter mate Flint Ridge Oakley runs tomorrow. Let’s hope she has many finds and a great race.
