1948 National Retriever Club Field Trials at Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge

Six people on the shore of a body of water, visible behind them. The shore features a small dirt path through tall grass and vegetation. A dog, specifically a black laboratory retriever is in the foreground, with it's rear to the camera, and holding a duck in it's mouth. The dog is facing what appears to be it's owner, who has 1 or two ducks in one of his hands. Two men on the left are looking at the dog, and are holding note pads and pens/pencils. Man in the back is carrying a shotgun.
