Some of the faces were familiar but we had quite a few that were new to the Gundog Division and wanted to see the type of dog we were promoting and even more that had never been to a field trial before but wanted to see what it was about. Everyone seemed to have a good time and several said they would be back and would enter a dog the next time. Dogs from Oklahoma and Louisiana won both classes and Louisiana dogs dominated the 15" class. All 5 dogs that placed were from there. We didn’t have much trouble finding rabbits but even though we got some rain the day before, scenting was tough. Most packs had some good running though and everything went pretty smooth. We had some really nice dogs show up. A few didn’t quite fit the format we run but they were still good dogs. I want to thank Aaron Pettit, Keith Gwatney, Kerry Crofford, and James MacMahan for judging the field and Sandy Franklin for judging the bench for us. Judging is a tough, tiring, and sometimes thankless job that not many people want to do. By Freddie Beavers
