Open Puppy & Open Derby

I have been involved in bird dogs with hunting and field trials for over 40 years. I’ve owned all the setter breeds, but the Gordon won my heart many years ago.

I have campaigned dogs on the east coast, finishing 6 Amateur Champions, 5 Open Championships and 9 National Titles ( 7 AKC and 2 American Field).

My judging experience covers 35 years with well over a hundred trials, both AKC and American Field, including the GSP Amateur Pheasant Championship, the Irish Setter Amateur Championship and the American Pointer Nationals, twice.

I look forward to my upcoming judging assignment at the GSCA National Championships and Field Trial where I get to look at the up and coming young dogs.
