Buddy won another point at the AKC Richmond Kennel Club Show at Dixon, CA. Buddy is more comfortable each time he is in the show ring.

Today, I took the dogs down to Corning to do some bird work. A large male English Setter viciously attacked Cooper without provocation. The setter rolled Cooper three times, grabbing Cooper's neck & head in his mouth. Cooper was completely defenseless. I was able to grab the setter's neck and muzzle to forcefully pull him off Cooper. The setter tried to twist his head and bite me. I lifted the setter off the ground, at which time Pierre took control of him. Cooper was badly shaken up but had no puncture wounds.

The female owner of the setter said her dog had never exhibited that behavior before. Really??? She was apologetic.

We got Cooper back into the field hunting birds quickly to try an minimize the long range effects of the attack. Cooper did excellent in the field. Time will tell if Cooper can ever forget the attack.
