Indian Creek Bocephus, First in the Open Shooting Dog Stake

Thankful to be under the shining sun and clear skies for this event, the Northern New Jersey Field Trial Club held its annual Spring trial on May 6, 2023. Newcomers and veteran field trialers came out to enjoy the day, including artist Abigail Braman, who has painted beautiful sporting dog champions and took the opportunity to see some in action!

The Open Derby stake was the first to take advantage of this beautiful day. J and M Waffles, pointer female, run by owner Jason Paternostro captured third with a fun, flashy race. Coming in second was Indian Creek 9" Nails, an exciting young setter with an extreme forward race and one find. Rounding out the placements was Indian Creek Pineapple, showing the judges a
little bit of everything with her bird-finding ability and agile zip. She scored three mature finds.

In the Open Shooting Dog stake, Indian Creek Spur demonstrated his bird-finding ability while attentively handling. He scored three finds. Standing high and proud for her second-place win was Erin's Deja Vu with her signature powerful forward race and three beautiful finds. Congratulations to owner Joe Link! Sliding above the competition, Indian Creek Bocephus took the No. 1 spot. With proud owner Ed Marron in observance, he was not about to disappoint, scoring five finds with long stands nicely spacing out his forward race!

Congratulations to all owners and handlers!

Many thanks to our judges and all that came out to support, help and enjoy the beautiful weather! Thank you to our sponsors, Purina, Garmin, Gun Dog Supply, Mule Gear, and OnX Hunt. We look forward to seeing you in the Fall!
