LATEST NEWS ABOUT OUR DOGS AND PUPS

We like to keep track of our offspring who are successful in any type of competition.  The majority of those listed below are direct offspring of our dogs.  It's harder keeping track of the grandkids, but there are many more of those also out there who are doing extremely well in competition.  If you have a descendent of our dogs, we would love to hear from you so we can brag about you too.

Ch. JB's Asker 'Bout Birds (Chevee,JH X Ch. Archiee, JH) has been winning again only this time in the field trial scene.   "Kinze" owned by Jody Beckley of Colby, Kansas has been placing and winning in the Derby field trial events.  This past weekend (May 15-16, 2010) she earned a fourth place ribbon in the Open Gun Dog stake and the Amateur Gun Dog stake at a Brittany trial.  Each event had 26-28 all-breed dogs entered.    This is also while running and placing/winning in Derby stakes.    Still being eligible for the Derby stakes means Kinze is still under two years of age even though she is now competing in the broke gun dog stakes as well.  Way to go Jody and Kinze.   (pictures of Kinze during her outstanding show career are shown farther below)   This is the little female that got bitten in the face by a Diamondback rattle snake and lived!

 The following came May 4th from John Bacik in Strongsville, Ohio with news about his dog Bailey out Si Cisco and Langenfeld's Little Lucy.

This past weekend, the NSTRA Ohio Region Elimination was held, in Wooster Ohio, with 56 dogs entered. It was comprised of past champions & placement dogs from the past year from the Ohio region. There were 21 GSP's, 15 ES's, 13 EP's, 5 GWH's, 1 Britt & 1 Vizsla entered.   Bailey made the cut on Saturday, by matching a 3x NSTRA champion setter. The other handler said it was the best Vizsla he'd ever seen (apparently NSTRA doesn't see too many). The judge liked him also, commenting that on one of his finds "that was the best he'd seen all day".   On Sunday they ran 32 dogs in 2 fields & we drew the last brace in "A" field. By the time we ran, the gallery of 20 had dispersed, & only the Field Marshal & the handler I ran against on Saturday, were watching. Bailey shot out & we had 3 finds & 3 retrieves in the first 5 minutes. We ended with 5 finds & 5 retrieves for a 985.75 score. The next best dog, in "A" field, had a 3 & 3 (we smoked em!). Bailey was the "A" field winner. It also put Bailey in the top 6 for the weekend & into the next round.   There was a break after our brace, so I went into the clubhouse for lunch. There was a buzz going around about our run. All I could hear was Vizsla this & Vizsla that. It was the judges, the Field Marshal, & the two handlers I ran against the last 2 runs describing our run. Wow, Its' like they never saw a Vizsla before. (Of course, we were the only one in the trial) The region president told me we made history, as no other Vizsla had made it into the top 6 before in the Ohio region.    Next was 3 braces, with the top 6 dogs. We ran in the last brace, & had a 3 & 3 run for a 623 score. Our brace mate had a 3 & 2 + a back & beat us by only18 points (they had a find in the final minute of the run). We ended up in third place. A few more points & we would have been in the hour long run off for first place. Our brace mate went into the finals & won it.   All this, & we had only ran in 2 braces (placing in one of them) for the entire year leading up to this trial. My work was non-existent, so I had put NSTRA on the back burner. Hopefully, things will pick up & I'll be able to run in more next year.   I received a nice trophy, a 4 bags of Pro-Plan, & will receive silver engraved belt buckle. Needless to say, I'm very proud!

John Bacik with Bailey	Don't you just love Bailey, the brown dog in the middle!
