The 2023 Region 3 Amateur Shooting Dog Championship drew 29 dogs at the Dick Cross Wildlife Management Area, starting on March 3. We had two experienced judges, John Malone of Bolton, Conn., and Calvin Curnutte of Jackson Springs, N. C. Named champion was Calico's Guns N Roses of Calico Kennels, handled by Alex Smith. She ran in brace No. 5, had four finds, and a very consistent forward race. The runner-up emerged from brace No. 10. Waybetter Bobby, handled by Bob Verderosa, had five finds and a consistent race.

The Region would like to thank the judges, John Malone and Calvin Curnutte; Purina for their support; the State of Virginia for the use of the grounds; Frankie Henderson, Pat Casey, George Doyle, J. J. Doyle, Lyn Kessie, and Larry King for their help with the dog wagon, planting birds, meals, setting up the courses and cleaning the clubhouse. I apologize if I missed anyone. Lastly, I would like to thank the participants for their fine attendance.
