With bookend weekend trials and Region four all in one area you should have a very good draw. I'd bet Gulleges, Brath, and probalby Waresk, will all show and I think I heard Dave King is hitting some trials in the Upper Mid west as well.

You guys are in for a busy week. CR

Nope BDK won't be there (would love to see that country though). Dennis for sure and maybe King (know David & Sarah) in CO. for those trials and the Rocky Mnt. Championship (now).

Best of Luck to all who goes..

Is it true that there will be dancing girls and free beer?

yeah don't tell your wife...haha

Dan,

Is it a sure thing that you are running an AAA at the GSPC of MI AKC trial? If so, who are the judges and what is the entry fee? Retrieving or not?

You'll probably get 3-4 entries from Brath's string.

Thanks,
Dave

ddshine · Post by **ddshine** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:02 pm

The judges are
Dave Szost and Jim wallace

it is $50.00

and there is no retrieve

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 1:24 pm

Man that would be really nice to build a major for someone at this thing. Will do all that I can.

Jerry

ddshine · Post by **ddshine** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:06 pm

Yeah both the OAA and the AAA are both majors as of this point.

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:47 am

I got an e mail from Dan and he thinks that they will have 15 dogs in each event.

allage majors in both the amateur and open. Wonderful.

There should be a really good turnout for the Lansing GSP Club, in fact, it is booked with braces ... unfortunately, my dog wasn't one of the dogs that were picked. I hate when that happens. Anyways, I wish all competitors the best of luck and maybe I'll see some of the GDFs the following weekend at the GSPC of MI (that's if my dog gets selected).

Bad news is they are calling for rain on both Saturday & Sunday in the Ionia area. Hopefully the weather will part around us!!

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Fri May 02, 2008 8:06 pm

They ran the allage today and had enough dogs to make a major. The stake was won by:

Hoosier's Rev It Up J R.

Handler was Rich Barber of Outbak kennels. 3 very nice finds and a great race I am told.

Sire: FC/AFC Dunfur's Hoosier LB
Dam: Cajun's Burning Desire

I am a happy camper today.

Jerry,
Congrats!! Nice win on Friday.
it was a great weekend, and an awesome place to trial. The grounds were beautiful, and a well run event. Bandit had what I thought was a super solid run with 3 finds in the OGD, but no call back...Have to wait until next time.
Bill L.

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Mon May 05, 2008 7:16 am

That is always a great trial, just home here with LB, the champiobship should be really good this week. Are you staying all week?

Jerry

Elroy's Bandit · Post by **Elroy's Bandit** » Mon May 05, 2008 2:57 pm

Had to return to Chicago last night for work, not sure if I will be able to return this week. It sure was a nice weekend though.Dennis said thry were already running regionals today.
I will be up at Four Lakes next weekend, unless it's flooded out.

Dave Quindt · Post by **Dave Quindt** » Mon May 05, 2008 3:05 pm

Bill,

The Four Lakes walking trial has been canceled for next weekend due to standing water on the course.

Hey Dave,
I meant the horseback in 2 weeks. I'm off a week. Hopefully it dries out by then.
Side note*** Did not fall off any horses this past weekend.
Bill

The Zephyr · Post by **The Zephyr** » Wed May 07, 2008 1:01 pm

I had a great time in Michigan at the Lansing GSPC field trial in Ionia. Met some really nice people, ate well and saw some outstanding dogs on the course.
I’m afraid I’ve let a few people down as far as my ability to perform the role of scribe. I did in fact sit through all of the placements, but was too busy thinking of getting a good night’s sleep after a day of bringing dogs to the line and riding braces.

Just a fun, fun time.

I did stay for the first day of Region 4, helping out with the dog truck in the morning and riding braces in the afternoon.

My hat’s off to the members of the Lansing club for putting on a top-notch event.

Attached is an image of my young bitch on her first find. Photo credits go to Bill L.

Thanks Bill. I had a great time and hope to see you again at many more trials.

John L.

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Wed May 07, 2008 1:19 pm

Nice picture, it looks just like Ionia.

I am sure they appreciated your help and assistance.

Wish I could have gone.

Pepper

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Wed May 07, 2008 1:20 pm

The Open Shooting Dog was completed with 30 dogs and Doc with Dave Szost handling was the winner and runner up was Pete with Rich Barber up.

Congrats to both of you good guys.

Jerry

John,
Nice shot! Was a great weekend and Lansing puts on a great trial. Sorry to leave on Sunday. Would have been nice to spend a few more days up there. Darn work gets in the way of so many things! I'll be watching out for your youngin at Pine Island....if it's not flooded out.
I'll see you up at Caden's this summer.
Bill L.

heck yea, Nice job John and Coop.......big congrats to you, and all the winners and placements, I am a little partial to Coop, again congrats all.

Chip

Hotpepper · Post by **Hotpepper** » Sat May 10, 2008 6:49 pm

Cooper is a very nice dog and I know his pedigree, have not talked to John yet but am anxious to do so. Man what a deal for the dog's out of my back yard. They just keep on piling them up. I think Coop has won the hour before but not sure.

AJ and then Cooper, wonder where Joker was?

Jerry

Elroy's Bandit · Post by **Elroy's Bandit** » Sat May 10, 2008 7:37 pm

I just got a call from Dennis up in Ionia MI.
Bandit won the OGD this afternoon. 28 dog event. Bandit is now FC. I'm a proud papa

Bill L.

Tejas · Post by **Tejas** » Sat May 10, 2008 10:09 pm

Congratulations Bill!

I had the chance to see Bandit at Dennis' winter camp and then at the trials at Freer as well as the Ringneck. That boy will flat find birds and he's not even two years old yet.

Dennis had a pretty good stake in the OGD as my gal Sunny placed second....wanna swap placements?

Elroy's Bandit · Post by **Elroy's Bandit** » Sat May 10, 2008 10:19 pm

Thanks Ken! Congrats to you too,
Sunny is a great dog. I was actually in Ionia last weekend and rode most of the braces, so I saw all of them run. Of course I picked the wrong weekend to drive up, but that's par for the course. If it's all the same to you, I think I would like to keep Bandit in the spot he finished today.

I will be heading up to Portage (Pine Island) next weekend. If you are not planning on comimg up, I will be sure to shoot some pic's of Sunny for you. Thanks again.
Bill L.

Tejas · Post by **Tejas** » Sat May 10, 2008 10:46 pm

Thanks,

I will not be able to make it up there. My better half has explained to me that I have used up my alotment of weekends away for the time being. :roll: Maybe before too long I can get time off for good behavior.

The Zephyr · Post by **The Zephyr** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:09 am

Ken,

After speaking with Dennis yesterday afternoon, I believe some congratulations are in order. From what I was told Sunny took second in Open Gun Dog!!!!
A big congrats to Bandit & Sunny, Bill & Ken, 1,2 in Open Gun Dog!!!!

Abbie took second in the All-Age.

Unfortunately the moon rose on Natasha as she was coming to the line. She'll be out of competition for the next six weeks.
