Big Sky Field Trial Club members have been on a mighty roll for the last month. Austin Turley's reigning BSFTC Dog of the Year, pointer female, Railita, claiming a 1st place in the Wolf Den Amateur All Age Classic in North Dakota. Tom Nygard winning the National Amateur Chicken Championship in Mortlach, Saskatchewan with pointer female, I B Anxious, John Todd winning the Region 9 Amateur Shooting Dog Championship with pointer female, Willow Creek Aunt Peg (a litter-mate to Railita and handled to the Championship by Austin Turley) and Dave Noell winning the Idaho Open Shooting Dog Championship with setter female, Magic City Sunrise.

Thanks to all!
