Ohio Red Setter FTC Results...

The Ohio Red Setter Field Trial Club ran its spring renewal on the weekend of April 19 and 20 at the Grand River Wildlife Management Area located in Trumbell County in eastern Ohio. This area is an ideal grounds for running shooting dog stakes, as it has enough open areas to see and show a dog, yet has multiple objectives scattered throughout the course, requiring a dog to be able to hunt in order to find birds. This years entry of 46 dogs had a high level of quality; coupled with the unseasonably warm weather, it put the dogs to the test. Our judging staff for this year's renewal (Dr. Roger Boser, Ed Barlett, Dave Hawke, and Chris Catanzarite) did an outstanding job of separating the dogs, and their opinions were well received.

Following are the results for each of the stakes, as well as pictures of the winners...
