On Friday 4/25/08 the Classic was held. This was obviously a very emotional trial for me to attend and compete in. Long time family friends Rich Boumeester and Jim Tande braved the elements to judge this trial in the wind and rain. Our friend Don Dack build a beautiful trophy, carved out of a cherry tree that fell down in his yard...this trophy is a sight to behold obviously the work of love provided as a traveling trophy by Don.
The weather was terrible, 35 degrees rain and wind but we toughed it out and my youngest son Billy walked several braces. In the end Scott Berg won the classic with Lizzy and setter female with a strong race and one find on a quail, the runner up position was secured by Berg Brothers Hytest handles by Bill Holtan. Scott was generous to share the trophy with us for the year so it now resides at our house. In the companion derby I was fortunate to gain 3rd place with Maiden Pearl our young pointer who is a daughter of CH Sir Lancelot. In the companion puppy we were 1st with Winter Jewell a daughter of Billy Jackson.
On Sunday the 12 O'clock Field Trial club hosted a one day trial. Butch Cassidy bested the field in the Open Shooting Dog with 16 entries. Butch ran great race with 5 perfect finds, I was very proud of him. All in all a very good weekend, in spite of the weather.
I would like to thank Scott Berg for all the work he put into this trial.
