Northwest Region – The German Shorthair Pointer Club of Idaho hosted a Double/Double Amateur/Open Combined Trial April 1st & 2nd 2023 near Boise, Idaho. People from 5 states representing multiple regions attended this event. Saturday started out cold and rainy for the first few hours. A special thanks to Northwest Region Judges; Nance Ceccarelli, Meki Porter, Mike Smith & Mike Ouchida for judging through the difficult conditions. As well as bird handlers Justin Musgrave & Todd Woods. They really went the proverbial extra mile.
Several new to NSTRA people participated in the trial and all placements Saturday went to Amateur/Open teams. In A Field – John Bunn’s GSP Sugar had 5 finds with 4 retrieves for 1st place, Quinn Inwards Whirehair Jade had 4 finds with 3 retrieves for 2nd place, Paul Schneider’s Setter Jazz had 4 finds with 3 retrieves for 3rd place with Ross Brown’s Brittany Scarlett receiving 4th with 3/3 and a back.
