I see on the Brittany Facebook page that Chukar 12's (Joe Gower's) dog, Spanish Corral Sunny Patch, was this year Brittany NAFC.

Yes! Congratulations!
And he is the son of a NAFC, also owned by Joe.
Joe is making history! We have always had good West Coast dogs, but they have not always done well at the Nationals.
Joe is busy running his dogs in the National Open this week, but I know he is thankful for the congratulations.

Yup Patch won it. I've haven't seen Patch run but I've seen a few of Sonny's pups and they are big running dogs with lots of drive. Apple didn't fall far from the tree with Patch. Congrats Joe.
Re: 2015 Brittany NAFC
Thank you all for your kindness. I was very proud of the job Patch did. He had two very nice finds where he looked extremely good on point. You can feel the performance as it happened, handling was effortless as he was always forward and moving to an objective, the only "skill" to the whole thing on my part was knowing when to slow the horse and just watch him use the ground he was given.
He and Sonny both ran into some strange circumstances in the Open. Patch caught a skunk after his first find and was too sick to keep his pace and we picked him up. Sonny was on a limb after his second find, and was involved somehow with birds on a far tree line, I am not sure what happened but the judge didn't like it and Sonny was up. Of course, all of that is part of the highs and lows in the game that make it fun and keep you striving to be a little better.
I am on a flight home now, and I can't wait to take the boys back to the desert chasing chukarsnand then get back after next years prep...
Again, thank you all for the kind words.

Re: 2015 Brittany NAFC
Congrats, it is extra special when it is a pup you raised.
Re: 2015 Brittany NAFC
The highest compliment I can pay you is you understand the process of success, you prepare, and prepare some more, beyond what is logical, and you let it happen. Sometimes, most times the greater this preparation the more likely the success. Bad events happen to all, but when you train for it is less likely it is to impact the outcome. Your modesty is your second greatest attribute.Chukar12 wrote:Thank you all for your kindness. I was very proud of the job Patch did.
