Pine Straw Katydid has had an amazing fall. She ran well but didn't place in the Montana Shooting Dog Championship and the National Amateur Grouse Championship (in which she got RU last year). After those two prestigious events, Katie has won first place in 5 different stakes and third in two others. She amassed enough points to complete her FC title and is now just 3 amateur points shy of the Amateur Field Champion title. Two of the first place ribbons and one of the third place ribbons came from horseback stakes. At one point Katie earned 3 blue ribbons in a seven day time frame.
Katie has proven to be versatile and to be a great bird finder. She is biddable and wants to please, but still has the fire to go big. We have hopes for more great things to come for Katie, the next thing on the list is another go at motherhood. More on that to come.
