Sanctioned by the CKC and AFTCA, a very successful single course event was held this past weekend. Despite there being a foot of snow on the grounds on Thurs. night the trial went ahead and by the time the rain came on Sun. afternoon almost all the snow was gone. Made for some tough slogging for the drivers, but with only a couple of tow straps broken all the rigs made it onto the gravel and headed home on Sun. about 6:00.
I don't want to try to list the placements from memory but there were lots of breeds represented with Pointers, Setters, GSP, Brittany, Irish Setter, and GWP in competition. 23 dogs entered in each of the Adult stakes and 8 or 9 in each of Puppy and Derby made for two full days.
Deep fried turkey dinner on Sat. night and grilled burgers/smokies for lunch both days with as much desserts as you could care to eat made for a very satisfying weekend.
