The Championship Winners. From left: Harriett's Brio Rose with Curt Granthen, and Silver Spectacle with Jim Schultz. Standing are the judges, Dr. James Moreau and David L. Higgins.

Stronghold's Anchor Gal, first in the Open Shooting Dog Stake, with Sean Higgins. Standing are the judges, Ken Hart and Bill Gibbons.

Two handlers walk the course while judges and gallary follow on horseback. Walking shooting dogs must handle and cover the grounds with exception speed, biddibility and find birds to win. These dogs must also stand to wing and shot as well.
