Congrats to all the winners....in my disappointment I failed to do so.

wayne

1st place-Bert/Richardson/Brath
2nd was a Dave King Dog Ruby?

Boy was the first place dog for the call back and screwed up the retrieve wouldn't pick up a bird that wasn't killed cleanly and was flopping around

OSD started yesterday morning....will finish this afternoon....there was 11 braces

Congrats to Bill, Bandit and Dennis and all the other winners! Bill will know for sure but I'm thinking that Boede is a half brother to Bandit ( Ruger )???

Only by the graciousness of people like the Richardsons and Killams are the Chicken, Hun, region 8 and region 9 run. They all are extraordinary hosts and, yes, they want to win as badly as everyone else. We're lucky that they have a fondness/weakness for GSP's like the rest of us. It does give one a...

Talked to John a little bit ago...he said Bandit had a nice run yesterday with three finds...weather there today 73 and supposed to be in the mid 50's tomorrow.

Wayne

Congrats to all the winners....especially Bill/Bandit and Reagon/John.

Wayne

Surely, We'll get some results tomorrow...they had to finish today.....the chicken is supposed to start Monday.

I checked my journal from 2 years ago and the temps at Ekalaka were progressively...85, 85, 87, 87, 89 and 90. The humidity was very low....probably 15-20% so it really didn't seem that hot. The course is a 3 hour continous course and except for the marginal first course had sufficient water for the...

If you've never been to Ekalaka, MT, let me describe it this way....you've heard the term "middle of nowhere" that's it ( they actually sell t-shirts there that say Ekalaka, Mt...the end of the world) :D :D . Cellphone service is nonexistent....occasionally a signal is picked up after you drive a co...

I was with Dennis Brath 2 years ago at the Sharptail....afternoon temps every day were in the 90-93 range. There was 63 dogs in the OSD and I don't recall a single pro pulling a dog before the brace began....they all loaded up themselves and their scouts with water and turned 'em loose. Don't forget...

Clark, by the way don't forget I'm still relatively new to this game....I might not get another chance to brag. And this critique is coming from a guy that describes his National Champion as his "Goddess Athena"

Wayne

Clark, the dam's mother is Tejas Magnum's Jazz out of NFC Magnum's Touch of Gold. The dam's sire is Trueblu's Hud's Kickin Up Dust. Hear that your breeding of Abbie and Jax didn't take?

by the way you didn't have to chase Belle down and tackle her, did you?

Wayne

It doesn't matter how good they roll unless they handle, Bill. That goes back to their breeding. She has all the attributes of her daddy Bandit....very smart and wants to please. I've really been missing her here at home but I realize for her to meet her full potential we need to leave her with Denn...

Bert ( Keith and Bobbi Richardson ) handled by Dennis Brath won the OGD which finished her FC....didn't get any of the other placements. Tejas Bandit's Southern Belle swept the puppy and derby handled by Dennis. I think Dennis said the Chip dog ( Keith and Bobbi Richardson) was fourth in the derby.....

The South is on the rise again!!! :D :D :D Tejas Bandit's Southern Belle ( sire Caden's Bandit ) wins Derby. Way to go Dennis Brath! Dennis has had Belle for less than two weeks and placed her 2nd in weekend derby and first in the puppy then wins region derby. Belle was 13 mos. old yesterday. Wayne

Brother Ken erred...Freckles has 5 placements in 6 attempts...2 firsts, 1 second and 2 thirds. She was not run this past fall because of being "with child" and whelped a litter of 10 pups on Nov. 28. She gives you everything she has every time out. She ran at 3:00 in the afternoon, last brace, in th...

Dave, I told you Tex looked like he was rounding in to form. Huge congrats!!

Wayne

The Quail Championship starts today. Stakes order will be:

OSD
ASD
OAA
and Derby if time allows

Nell, Haylee Killam wins AGD ( I was braced with her and this dog did an excellent job. 4 finds and a back. the last find was exceptional. ) Joe Indermann's dogs were 2nd and 3rd with a Killam dog palcing 4th. Don't know the results from the OLGD yet.

Wayne

Con, Keith and Bobbi Richardson, wins OGD. Congrats to Dennis and Keith and Bobbi. Tejas Bandit's Southern Belle takes second in puppy stake at 9 mos. of age finishing behind a 14 mo. Bodenstabb pup that is already ready Derbies. Conditions were very bad for dogs in OGD early sat. morning. Only one ...

John, I just saw the brag this morning....huge congrats to a most deserving owner and dog. Wayne

I was so excited for Clark and Dennis, I left out congrats to Robbie, Keith , Mark and Rich. Great job everbody!

Huge Congrats to Clark, Matt, Andrea and Dennis. Abbie is an oustanding dog that put it together on the right day! Talked to Dennis last night and he really bragged on how great a job Pat did in scouting also.

Wayne

A huge congrats to Joe Inderman and also Grant Stanfill the breeder of Llano's Tails Aflame....two really nice gentlemen from the heart of TEXAS! For you Four lakes guys, Llano is about 60 miles from Dennis' winter camp in Comanche. If you have never been to Nationals and not met Grant, he has been ...

Hey, Big Congrats Bill!!! Makes me even more proud of this Bandit pup I have...she's pointing solid and has an excellent nose...pointing pigeons from 30-40 yards...ran her off the horse a few times and she's running to the front from 100 - 125 yards not bad for 5 1/2 mos. old. Once again congrats to...

My Bad!!...I remember now that Zack and Flirt were bred in the last part of August last year when we were training up in the Wyoming mountains about 30 miles west of the Richardson place.

Wayne

Biz is about 16-17 mos...him and Twitter that had placements at the Sharptail and Chicken are out of the same litter...should make a good showing at the Futurity.

Good Luck, John! Is this the first trial of the fall for you?

Wayne

What were the results of the ASD and Derby? Anybody know?

Ron, Bill,

Hopefully Triple J is bringing some shortlegged Clydesdales, if not I sure feel sorry for ole Doc! Sounds like you fellas are going to have a great time, wish I was there.
Hi to you also Clark.

Wayne

Bill, I'm Ken's "younger" brother and although we're not acqauinted I got to know Bandit quite well and had the pleasure of handling him several times on the atv while Dennis was down here in Texas. I was always impressed by his bird finding ability and desire to always be in front. Congrats to the ...

John,
Congrats to you and Natasha on your recent successes.
If you're going to be in Ionia give my "Boy" a headscratch or two...if you'll do that for me , I promise not to tell anybody about your shooting prowess down in Texas.

Wayne T.

Any results from Ft. Dearborn yet? When is the Open being run?
