10 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org December 2018 December 2018 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org 11 A photo essay by Nancy Anisfield Contributing Editor Moment Hinesburg, Vermont by Moment Every trip to the Invitational has a backlog of days, months and years leading up to the day when handler and dog meet their bracemates and step onto the field. Or face 100 yards of water. Or fire at the memory bird.

Preparing for test day takes a huge amount of time. Measured by the calendar, all the backyard drills, travel, water and field work pile up hours upon hours. In many ways, however, the experience of the Invitational itself is defined by small moments, laser bright instants where emotions and actions collide.

12 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org December 2018 December 2018 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org 13 The sunrise of anticipation. Small tasks within the test. Down time. Analysis. Celebration.

14 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org December 2018 December 2018 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org 15 The current trend of mindful living promotes an awareness of experiences on a moment-to-moment basis. It turns off the autopilot, focusing instead on the sensations and particulars of the present. With a nod to spinning the concept of mindfulness to make a point, we can use it to see the Invitational more clearly, moment by moment.
