MN/WI Dog of the Year Rules Adjusted.

Summary of Changes
The MN / WI Cover Dog of the Year committee met recently and made some adjustments to the rules governing these awards. The first change is that placements in amateur stakes will no longer be applied towards the OSD or OD awards. The reason for this will become apparent shortly. The second change is that in order for a dog to win these awards they will need two placements during the year. If no dog places twice then we will revert to the current standard. The original intent of the DOTY was to reward consistency and to promote participation. This change is meant to keep these awards aligned with that intent.

The MN/WI Cover Dog of the Year committee would also like to announce the creation of the Amateur Shooting Dog of the Year and the Amateur Derby of the Year awards. Points for these awards will be tabulated in the same fashion as the open awards. Points for these awards can be earned at trials held by the cover dog clubs in MN and WI. In the case of the Shooting Dog Award, the trial must be held on multiple courses and on wild birds. (i.e. the R19 at the barrens counts)

Questions, comments, and concerns can be sent to pntjudge@hcinet.net and will be passed on to the committee, at which point we will call you names and ignore your suggestions. I’m just kidding of course; we want these awards to be as fair, fun, and prestigious as possible while staying true to the purposes of the folks who started them. If you think we are missing the mark, let us know, but be nice.

Congrats Mickey Fancher!


Wintergreen Max is the winner of the 2007-2008 Thomas Flanagan Derby Cover Dog Award. Max is owned and Handled by Mickey Fancher.

APRIL 4, 2008 Mora Trial Update

It’s snowing in Mora this morning and the forecast calls for below freezing temps at night all week. It doesn’t look like we will get enough snow melt for the first MN trial this weekend so we are going to cancel it today and give folks a chance to make alternate plans for the weekend. We will make every effort to reschedule this trial. Thanks

P.S.
Brett Edstroms e-mail changed to pntjudge@hcinet.net if you have any questions.

Thanks
