NATIONAL AMATEUR PRAIRIE CHICKEN SHOOTING DOG CHAMPIONSHIP
Wisconsin Rapids, WI—The Buena Vista Grasslands at Wisconsin Rapids, WI, provided a wild bird filled five days of running for 59 competitors. The Marsh was in fabulous condition with birds available on all six courses.

Weather varied significantly throughout the trial. When it concluded on September 26 Kentuckians Jim Crouse and Ben Adams named Joy Shadow champion based on a pleasing four-find performance. The six-year-old pointer female is owned and handled Ron Ward of Illinois. Two finds and a strong ground effort highlighted the runner-up performance for Centerpiece, three-year-old pointer male owned by Frank and Jean LaNasa of Minnesota and handled by Frank.
