 #31. FC-AFC KIRKWOOD'S BLUE GRADE LADY, "Gracie" LF, Casey Adams 

(4/15/2011, NAFC-FC Cody Cut A Lean Grade ex Rocky Hills Win Me For Me)
Breeder: Ed Watson
Owner / Handler: Casey Adams, Clarkdale, AZ

Gracie with owner / handler Casey Adams came to the line at 9:20 am

Left Flyer - Gracie launched down the hill and angled the first small pond, crossed the dam and entered the large pond. She crossed the big point and exited the pond left of the island behind that point. She drove out into the field and made a couple of tight loops in the fall area, to retrieve the hen duck flyer.

Left Retired - She ran by the small pond on the left side and caught the first cove of the big pond. She exited and ran straight to the tall grass to retrieve the bird.

Right Retired - She ran down the hill and crossed the right hand pothole pond swimming out to cross the small island. She ran straight out to the peninsula staying right of the water and retrieved the bird from the tall cover.

Right Flyer (Handle) - Gracie swam to the left side of the island and exited angling away from the large pond. She checked down just deep of the right retired. The handler put a whistle on her and cast her back & left. She ran deep of the gun station and quickly found the bird.

She finished the 2018 NARC with grace.
