Jake - Winners Dog for a 3 Point Major to Finish as a Show Champion on 04/17/04 in Shreveport, LA - Expertly Handled; by Karen Newman.
NGSPA Wins: R-U Champion, Amateur Shooting Dog, Quail Championship
AKC Field Wins: 1st Place Open Gun Dog; multiple All Age placements
Wow! This Championship was not in our plans for Jake when he was whelped. As most people know, Kelley and I are focused on field trialing in AKC and American Field events, and competing in the show ring has not been a priority. It has always been our contention that the All Age field trial dog must have good conformation in order to compete at the level we compete with our dogs. Jake has proved the preceding statement.
This title is the result of the insistence by our friend, Fred Cohen, that Jake had what it takes to finish in the show ring, and the superb handling of Karen Newman. Fred did a great job harassing me into trying the ‘show ring’, and Karen Newman did the rest!
In my mind, Jake is, first and foremost, an All Age field trial dog. Clearly, we are excited about the real chance to put a ‘Dual Championship’ title on Jake. This year will be a focus year for Jake. His sire won the National Championship in 2003, and Jake’s campaign (field) suffered. It is now Jake’s turn to be the focus of our efforts – we expect great things from him.
