Spring of 2009 has brought a crazy mix of weather to the high plains of Colorado.
Weekdays have been mild and warm with wild winter weather reserved especially for field trial weekends.
At the combined AKC & American Field Event, GSP Rocky Mountain Championships, despite the conditions, TEAM DU came, saw and conquered.
And the weather cleared just in time for pictures...
