NGSPA Region 7 Amateur Shooting Dog Championship (l-r): Bob Thompson (judge), Sean Anderson (judge), Mark Wasserman with B M B's Madison Ave, James Messer with M S R's Pretty Little Psycho, and Brandon Blum.

The NGSPA Region 7 trial was held at Lake Murray Field Trial Grounds at Ardmore, Oklahoma. A big thank you to all the sponsors of Region 7, Purina, and SportDOG. Thank you, everyone, for attending and making this trial a great event. We had some bad weather and spent one day on hold, but other than that, this was a great trial.

The Amateur Shooting Dog stake started on Saturday, February 10, and concluded on Monday, February 12. The stake was judged by Sean Anderson of Alvord, Texas, and Bob Thompson of Hartville, Missouri. We had 17 dogs drawn, and 17 dogs broke away. The stake was on pause for Sunday as it rained all Saturday night and into Sunday afternoon, making the grounds a muddy mess on Monday. The Amateur Shooting Dog stake was very competitive, and the champion was B M B's Madison Ave ("Maddie"), owned by Brandon and Jennifer Blum and handled by Brandon Blum. The runner-up was M S R's Pretty Little Psycho ("Harley"), owned by James and Sarah Messer and handled by James Messer.

The NGSPA Region 7 Derby Classic was held on Monday, February 12. The judges were Tom Milam of Elm Mott, Texas, and Bob Thompson of Hartville, Missouri. As always, all derby dogs had bird contact and were fun to watch. First was M S R's The Dominator ("Cruz"), owned by James and Sarah Messer, and handled by James Messer; second was Uodibar BDK's Code of Honor ("Cody"), owned by Brooks Carmichael, and handled by Keith Gulledge; third was Texas Jax's Frozen Express ("Ellie"), owned by Kirk and Terry Bomer, and handled by Keith Gulledge.

The NGSPA Region 7 All-Age started at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, February 13. The course was still muddy, but a nice southern wind was working on drying things out. The judges were James Messer of Needville, Texas, and Tom Milam of Elm Mott, Texas. Running all-age dogs on such muddy ground made for an interesting stake for handlers and scouts. Eight dogs competed, and the champion was B M B's Free Ride ("Lewey"), owned by Brandon and Jennifer Blum and handled by Brandon Blum. The runner-up was Texas Tuff, owned by Terry Bomer and handled by Keith Gulledge.

The NGSPA Region 7 Open Shooting Dog was judged by Rusty Robinson of McKinney, Texas, and Tom Milam of Elm Mott, Texas. Sixteen dogs were drawn, and 16 dogs competed. The champion was O B's Stick In The Mud, owned by David and Peggy O'Brien and handled by Keith Gulledge. The runner-up was B D K's Sam I Am, owned by David and Peggy O'Brien and handled by Keith Gulledge.
