A great time was had by all who supported the Southeastern Pennsylvania Bird Dog Club this Memorial Day weekend!
The winners in the Open Derby stake made it a competitive one. In third was K and J Stillwater Winston, Vizsla male, with one bird contact with owner Kurt Fedorko watching the performance. Second was Hurricane Freya, with a great race and one find for owner/handler Jason Paternostro. First place was Indian Creek Pineapple, with two finds and a stylish race for owners Black Meadow Kennels.
Winners in the Open Shooting Dog stake were Winchester of Erskine taking third for handler/owner Joe Link. This setter handled the demands of the afternoon temperatures having two finds. Second place was Indian Creek Storm Chaser, with three finds and a classy race for owner/handler John Bleeker. Indian Creek Spur, owned by Black Meadow Kennels, took first place, scoring three finds. He used the course to show us his speed and class.
Congratulations to all owners, handlers,
