 WOODCOCK CHAMPIONSHIP

Bud's Son, Chasehill 

Big Bradley,

 Named Runner-Up

 AND Wins Futurity

NEW BRUNSWICK, Canada -- As a cover dog, Chasehill Little Bud has a corner on the market. Not only does he have innumerable championships himself, the majority of puppies that he throws are blue-ribbon winners, too.

Owned and handled by John Stolgitis of Ashaway, RI, Bud's most recent win came at the 42nd North American Woodcock Championship held Sept. 13-15, 2013, at Cronk Farm in New Brunswick, Canada.

Twenty-four dogs were entered in the championship judged by Tony Bly, of Milan, N.H., and Russ Ogilvie, of Jefferson, Maine.  Stake manager was Bob Little, of McAdam, New Brunswick.

Runnerup in the event was Chasehill Big Bradley, a son of Bud, owned and handled by Mike Flewelling

During the course of the trial, 39 grouse were moved with 27 being pointed. Six woodcock were pointed, and every dog had birdwork. 

The 37th running of the North American Woodcock Futurity was held at the conclusion of the woodcock championship. Judges were Mike Best and Leonard Sinclair, both of Bocabec, New Brunswick. Stake manager was Joe Dahl of Bangor, Maine.

 Nine dogs were entered in the futurity, and taking first place, after coming off his runnerup win in the championship, was Chasehill Big Bradley, handled by John Stolgitis. 

Second place winner was Magic Mist, Dahl; 3. Sanderling Lucky Penny, Little; 4. Cairds Little Brynn, Little.

Many thanks to Bob Little for trial information,

 and to Matt Winchester for the photo!

TRAINING

 POINTING DOGS

A pointing dog seminar

 presented by the R.I. 

Hunter Education Program

EXETER, R.I. -- Twenty-six people and 19 dogs turned out for the RI DEM's first birddog training seminar held Sunday, Sept. 8, at Arcadia Management Area. Leading the seminar was Dave Marshall of Centerville Farm and Kennel of Hope Valley, RI. He was assisted by his wife, Sarah Conyngham; Richard Giuliano of Richfield Kennels, Bob Fleury of Birch Hill Brittanys, Janice Gregory, Region 1 secretary, and Debbie Northup. The event was presented by the RI Hunter Education Program and sponsored by South County Field Trial Club and Purina. Karen Unsworth and Ed McGovern, both of the RI DEM,  put the seminar together.

Marshall described numerous training techniques to attendees  and then everyone got to try out their new skills with their novice dogs. Everyone had a great time. All the dogs got to point numerous birds and hopefully, we'll get one or two hunters or field trialers out of the group!
