EAST WINDSOR, Conn. -- Great River Magnum, a pointer male owned and handled by Brian Sanchez of Central Islip, NY, was named champion at the 2012 Region 1/AFTCA Amateur All-Age Championship held Oct. 13-14, 2012 at Flaherty Field Trial Area. Magnum had six finds and a race that stretched the limits of the course. 

Runnerup was Chasehill Little Bud, a pointer male owned by John Stolgitis and handled by Elias Richardson. Bud also had six finds and hit the course hard. Judges said the difference between the two top dogs was slight and based only on their races.
Honorable mention went to Calico's Touch of Class, a pointer female handled by Tiffany Henderson; Erin's Stone Cutter, a pointer male handled by Kevin Stuart; Richfield Silver Belle, a pointer female handled by Bill McNamee, and High Drive Casey,  a pointer male also handled by Brian Sanchez.
Saturday night's cocktail party was hosted by Claudia and Bill McNamee, owners of 2011 Champion Richfield Silver Belle, handled by Bill McNamee.
Judges were Jim Isperduli of Paxton, Mass., and Jason Smit of Montgomery, NY. Field trial chairman was Richard Giuliano.

 FUTURITY

Enhancement Southern Belle, a pointer female handled by Mike Tracy, was named winner of the 2012 New England Futurity.  Belle had five well-spaced quail finds and ran a big, forward race. Judges were impressed with the dog's ability to find birds off course and with the fancy pointing style of the dog. "He tore the place apart," said judge Tom Mercier.

Second place went to Thomas's Adirondack Mason, a setter male owned and handled by Jim Thomas. The big, tri-colored setter ran early in the stake and had one find and one back. He also ran a big, powerful race -- something the judges were looking for -- and looked awesome on point. And although it won't win a field trial, a good back never hurts and Mason had an outstanding one. With his bracemate pointing, Mason staunchly backed and stayed that way even when the bracemate chased the bird after it flushed. Judge Lloyd Miller was particularly impressed with the rapport the dog had with his handler.

Third place went to Hillhayvn's Stump Jumper, a pointer male bred and handled by Jeanette Tracy.  The pointer had four finds and ran a big, strong, driving race. Judges were impressed with the dog's class on the ground and his style on point. 

Fourth place went to Oh My Darlin', a pointer female handled by Pat Casey. The pointer had five good, well-spaced finds. Judges were impressed by the dog's ability to dig up birds on the course. 

Honorable mention went to Awsum Country Girl,  a pointer female run by George Tracy. Country Girl had four finds, one back and a lot of class on the ground.

Judges were Lloyd Miller and Tom Mercier. Field trial chairman was Jeff Smith, in Margaret Drew's absence. And a big thank-you to Mary Tracy for stepping in to handle the essential details of the trial when we were between chairmen!
