The pacific coast Shooting Dog Championship was also draw on March 20th at the River side bar and grill. We started on March 24th with 24 dogs drawn. Judges Ed Woodward and Todd Schaaf were excited to start the day with too really good dogs. The Top dog was C K Route Scout Vizsla male owned by Jim Gingrich and Handled by Brian Gingrich and Dunfur's Dali Bobba pointer male Owned by Jim Tesarik Handled by Dan Hoke and these dogs delivered. They both took off strong going where we wanted to see them. Scout was found on point at 5 followed by Buster at 10. Both where found a 25 on the ski line rock ridge on a divided find. Scout was found on point once again in the green Valley at 34. At 49 Both were found on point on the back side of course 1 in the rocks with their second divided find and both finished strong one on each side of the valley work the cover. When the brace was done the Judges knew it was a strong race. As brace after brace and dog after dog came up and each failed.
Brace one kept getting stronger and stronger until all came and failed to top them. We named CK Route Scout Vizsla male owned by Jim Gingrich and handled by Brian Gingrich our champion and Dunfur's Dali Bobba pointer male Owned by Jim Tesarik handled by Dan Hoke our runner-up.
When talking about the Championships one thing I feel is left out is the towns we come into and sometime take over. The great town Of Maupin Orgon always goes out of their way to help support us. Everything from the Hotels, Restraints, Bars, Markets and even the gas station. Maupin is a fishing and rafting town we are there on their off season. They not only support us but appreciate us. On my way out of town the owner of the gas station stopped me to tell me how much he enjoys having us in town. I would like to thank all my great help Shannon Schaaf, Dan Hoke, Chase Cochran, Mel Lueck, Barry Lueck, Emily Deasy, Josh and Alison Miller, 'Anthon Backnam and my very patient wife Amanda Schaaf. None of this could be posable. Nor without great landowners like Blane Carver and his opening up his ranch to us. We are lucky to have companies like Purina and SportDog. I cannot say how much we applicate everything Purina does for the field trail community. The last group I would like to thank is everyone who came and participated in the championship see you all next year.
