Hawk takes 2nd at Inez C. Smith Open Shooting Dog Classic

In a field of 42 dogs, Hawk competed against some of the best shooting dogs in the country and came out with a second place finish. Hawk was handled by Jeanette Tracy and scouted by Dillon Shaffer. He ran when the temperature was 92 degrees, but never let up during his hour. In addition to his great race, five finds helped launch him to the second place spot. This win was made extra sweet because of the large number of times he was in the "honorable mention" category last year. Big thanks to Jeanette, Dillon, and the Pittsburgh FTC and Associated FTCs of Connecticut.

Maggie had her pups at Ladywood Kennels.

Maggie whelped her pups on July 21 and 22. Five females and 3 males. Contact Jeanette at Ladywood if you're interested in purchasing one (717-227-4773)

Dottie went to the Prairies

Pine Straw Country Sunshine (Dottie) went to the prairies with Lee Phillips to see if she has what it takes to be an all-age dog. Lee has done a great job with her so far and we're excited to watch her continue to develop. She has found a lot of birds, both pheasants and sharp tails, and is starting to run some. We'll see how she does.
