With the conclusion of the 2017 ISCA Nation Field Trial, I am able to reflect upon what an amazing year it was for me,
The Derby Classic was judges by Jerry Oswalt and Ray Nowell. "Sheldon" aka Quantonas Bazinga managed to pick up a 3rd place, following behind two very nice young dogs.

The National Championship was judged by Jim Yates and Kent Patterson. Reason ran in the 9th brace which put her on course 3in the morning.  Reason had 2 finds, one on the left side between a mowed strip and the woods, just past Mario's Hill. My scout, Trena Cardwell, called point, and I rode back with the judge to find her standing. Birds were likely running and after some flushing attempt in the woods, we heard two flushes, but did not see birds fly. The judge had me blank my gun. After watering, I released Reason and she wasn't seen again until she was found on point in a strip of sorghrum, just prior to the viewing station field. as I went in to flush, Reason stood tall, and a very large covey got up all around her. I fired, and a few late risers got up. I collected her, watered, and finished the brace. Reason had beautiful manners and style, but lacked maturity in her race. This run earned her a third place in the championship.

The futurity was the final stake that my dogs earned placements in. The futurity is a breeders stake, and I managed to be lucky enough to have dogs from my 2014 Blick x Sister litter take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! Congrats to owner Jim house, and Handler Greg Dixon on Roy's 1st place! Cooler and Trena took second, and I earned 3rd with Reason. Congrats to co-breeders Susan Russell and Simon Phillips!

This year does nothing more than set my sights on the future, as our dogs continue to mature. Cheers!

I'm proud to announce that Reason and Cooler took second and third, respectively, at the 2016 ISCA National Field Trail Open Derby Classic. Judges were Steve Salt and Jerry Oswalt. Reason was handled by Kelli Aitken, Cooler was handled by Trena Cardwell.

Good news is here! "Shandy" aka Quantonas Epiphany wins the Open Puppy stake this past weekend at the Northern California Brittany Club, under judges James Simmons and Lynda Swart, handled by Trena Cardwell! We couldn't be more proud of our young girl!

We couldn't be more proud to announce that we just received word that 20 month old "Roy" became FC Russell's Shots Fired by taking a 3 pt major from the ALGD stake at the Willamette Weimaraner Club under judges Peter Von Ohlen and Lou D'allessandro. Congratulations to owner/handler Jim House. Roy is out of our Blick X Sister litter bred by myself and Susan Russell!

Russell's Shots Fired wins OLGD at the Willamette Weimaraner Club for a four point major under judges, ​​Pierrie Uratilla and Rick Axtell! Congratulations to owner/handler Jim House!

Great news on the dog front. Just got word from the ISCA annual awards that CH Jadestar Urban Cowboy at Winsonem won the 2015 "Best Puppy", "Points from puppy class", and "Puppy Dog" awards! John is bred by Jan Smith and owned by Sandy and Larry Sims, and myself. On the field side, I heard that "Roy", Russell's Shots Fired, was awarded the "Puppy/Derby Field Trial" award for most dogs defeated from the puppy and Derby stakes. Roy is from my 2014 FC Heiligsepp Blick x Russell's New Day litter co bred by myself and Susan Russell, and is now owned by Jim House. Congrats to everyone involved in these lovely dogs!
Congrats to all the other winners and contenders!!
