The Region 8 Amateur All-Age was held March 4-7 at the historic McFarlin-Ingersoll Ranch. This Ranch has hosted countless field trials over the years and we were very grateful to again hold this trial on these tremendous grounds. Judges for this year's running were Kevin Guest of Prague, Okla., and Matt Cochran of Reydon, Okla. These judges did an outstanding job and the announcements were well received. Twenty-two dogs were drawn, the field was comprised of 20 of the best pointers and setters in the country. Entrants hailed form as far as Mississippi, and Tennesee, as well as, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma. The weather was everything you would expect in springtime Oklahoma, everything from warm and windy to cold and wet!

Our champion and runner-up shared the 9th brace! Game Heir, owned and handled by Dr Fred Corder, was declared the champion. He bested the field with a two find performance and a very strong race into gale force winds. He showed grit and determination worthy of a champion in very tough conditions. Our runner-up Champion was Bromance. He was handled by Jon Humphrey. Bromance also had a very strong race into strong winds to go along with two nice finds and a back. Jon and Bromance have been a force to be reckoned with on the circuit over the past several seasons.
