Little Maggie came back from her "maternity leave" having whelped a litter of puppies with Hawk as the sire at Ladywood Kennel, and got down to business.

Then three weeks later garnered the blue ribbon in both Open Gun Dog and Amateur Gun Dog at the Gordon Setter Club trial at Paris, Kentucky. Her win of the Open Gun Dog, which was an AKC Major, finished off the point/Major win requirements to earn Maggie her Field Champion Title.
