The Ohio Red Setter Field Trial Club ran their first trial in several years, as we hope to get the trial back on a regular schedule after a hiatus of several years during the economic downturn. The trial was run at our traditional location at Grand River Wildlife Management Area outside of Bristolville Ohio. We had a small but very quality entry of 24 dogs run today.
Special thanks to our judges Brandon Kruer and Dave Park for their time in the saddle. Also a "hats off" to Nick Ciani of Madison Ohio who spent the day on foot planting bird for the Open Derby and Open Shooting. He walked at least 10 braces today under sometimes muddy conditions to ensure everyone had an opportunity to point birds. Well done Brandon, Dave, and Nick!
Thanks also to Purina for your support of our Pennsylvania Walking Shooting Dog Association. Our sport would not be the same without your support and your great dog food. Please support Purina by purchasing their products.
Finally, thanks to everyone who participated today! Your support of our trial and of the PWSDA is greatly appreciated and promotes the walking trials in our region. We hope to see you again!
