Central Maine Brittany Club 2016  Spring Field Trial

 

The Central Maine Brittany Club continued with their spring trial this past year on the weekend of May 28 and 29, 2016. The trial was held at the Maine Bird Dog Club grounds in Fryeburg, ME with very hot weather on Saturday, followed by much cooler weather on Sunday.

 

Lots of water availability kept dogs well hydrated during the day. Mature, hardy, well feathered quail were liberated on both the juvenile and adult courses for the derby and gundog stakes; most braces had birdwork as they went over the courses with birds being excellent flyers.

 

The nonregulation walking hunting dog stake was held

both days.

 

Many many thanks to Purina for their sponsorship of the trial.

 

A total of 26 different handlers put dogs on the line over the two days. The trial grounds were worked on several times during the fall and spring. John Short and Bob Paucek worked diligently with their tractors and bush hogs to make sure courses were clear.

 

On the day of the trial we had excellent bird planters with Sam Jackson, Mo Pollard, Mike Cyr, Jane Bjork, Jeff Leggio and Art Hembrough making sure birds were placed throughout the courses. Birds were plentiful, well feathered and flew strongly.

 

 

 

As usual, Donna Pride kept the central operations running smoothly, making sure that paperwork was in order and dogs were on the line on time.

 

Special thanks go to those who sat in judicial saddles, Frank Pride, Cory Roy, Mike Blondin, John Poland and walking judges Pat Carney, and Keith Culver. Gary Anderson and Sam Jackson handled the judging of walking hunting dog stakes both days.

 

A fantastic spaghetti dinner coordinated by John Short and Mo and Monica Pollard was enjoyed by handlers and guests.
