Some of our customers' Pine Straw dogs doing well in trials

We have been lucky to have some of our customers trial their Pine Straw dogs. Two dogs from our kennel have gotten off to a really good start this year.

Pine Straw Zorro (Mult. CH Highground Jax Jabba X RUCH Pine Straw Katydid) earned a 3rd place in the Open Puppy (horseback) stake, which had 14 dogs, at the Middle Florida Brittany Club (AKC) Field Trial. This Zorro's first field trial placement and was only his second attempt at a trial. Zorro is owned by Phil and Carole Stout and handled by Jamie Fountain of Oconee Kennels.


Also being run by Jamie Fountain is Smokey Holler Trapper (Briar). Briar is a derby from our 4RU Uppercove Desert Devil X RUCH Pine Straw Katydid litter. Briar earned a 3rd place in the Open Derby (horseback) at the GSP Club of Atlanta trial on November 16, 2014. Briar topped that performance with a 1st place win in the Open Derby at the Middle Florida Brittany Club trial on November 21, 2014.

Pine Straw Sweet Tea gets first field trial placement, Pine Straw Covergirl takes 2nd in Derby.

Pine Straw Sweet Tea (Sugar) took 3rd place in the Amateur Puppy stake at the Mid-Carolina Field Trial held by the South Carolina Bird Hunters (NBHA) held in October of 2014. Sugar ran a good race and one find. It was her very first field trial and the best thing was that she quickly adjusted to having a brace mate, other handler, judges, horses and even ATVs. Sugar is from our Mult. CH Highground Jax Jabba X RUCH (AKC FC)Pine Straw Katydid litter.


Pine Straw Covergirl (Elle) took 2nd in the Amateur Derby at that trial. Elle ran a very fancy race and had a good far reaching find. Elle is from our 4xRU Uppercove Desert Devil X RUCH Pine Straw Katydid litter.
