PINE STRAW CHESTER took first place in the Open (All-Age) Derby held by the Black Belt Amateur Field Trial Club's fall trial on October 29, 2017. This was Chester's first placement in a field trial and came in the second trial he's run in.
CHESTER is out of our breeding of 2X National Champion Shadow Oak Bo to our National Amateur Grouse Championship Runner-Up Pine Straw Katydid. I think just about all Setter people are familiar with Bo. Katydid took Runner-Up at the 2010 National Amateur Grouse Championship held at Marienville, PA against a field of 69 entries. Katydid is out of Grand National Grouse Champion Chip's Uncle Buzzie X Mult. CH Sky's Blue Belle.
Big thanks to Lee Phillips out of Trail South Kennels for running Chester. Lee runs our all age dogs for us and most importantly lets me come out to the prairie to ride along for a few days every year to watch.
