Vitali's Grouse Ringer Justify garners another derby placement.

Vitali's Grouse Ringer Justify took third place in the Open Derby stake of the Bluegrass Walking Shooting Dog club's spring trial on February 22, 2020. A big race and 3 nice finds helped "T" gain the placement for his owner and handler Gary Vitali. We very much appreciate the job Gary's doing with this talented youngster. We also appreciate the BWSD's efforts to hold the trial. The photo is courtesy of the BWSD.

"T" is from our Erin's Hidden Shamrock X CH/RU Pine Straw Sweet Tea litter.

Pine Straw's Tupelo Honey is on the board!

Pine Straw's Tupelo Honey (call name Moxie), seen above in a workout with Jeanette Tracy, recently got her first derby placement by taking third place at the Town Creek Open Derby in Hardaway, Alabama. The stake drew 16 dogs. Moxie's run included some big moves and a broke find on a large Alabama covey.

Moxie is out of our Multiple CH Erin's Hidden Shamrock X CH/RU Pine Straw Sweet Tea litter. She is not yet two years old.

Big thanks to Jeanette for her work with Moxie and the folks at Martino Kennels in putting on the event.
