- FC Finn
Congratulations to Dr. Robert and Mary Swenson on their new ‘YELLOW’ FC! FC Blackwater’s Last Resort (Finn) earned his FC title in just 3 trials and won two of them! Finn won the Open at Topeka Retriever Club on 10/3/2009 and also won Missouri Valley in Omaha, NE, on 9/20/2009. He is now qualified for the National Open in Dover, DE, at only 3 years of age!
Finn is out of a breeding Dale Willard of Katy, TX, put together with with help of David Maddox. FC/AFC Blackwater Rudy X Dancin Dreamer Kate MH . Dale was kind enough to let the Swensons have the only yellow male out of the litter. The pup Dale kept is Blackwater’s Cosmic War Machine, Tank, and is also QAA and running AA trials.
Steve Blythe, of Lone Willow Kennels in Burbank, SD, is currently training Finn, and the two have teamed up to be great buddies and competitors. Clint Avant did Finn’s early training, and the Swenson’s are thankful for his hard work. Finn started placing with Steve in 2007 with a win at Mid-Iowa Retriever Club Fall Field Trial in the derby. Finn placed in 5 Qualifying stakes with two firsts, two seconds and a third. In his last QAA event his owner Bob Swenson placed first at SVRC spring D/Q on 06/13/09. Steve Blythe’s comment was that it’s much more rewarding to see the owner win with dog he’s trained than winning himself. Finn’s record is amazingly consistent. Finn is an absolute statue on the line. Steve says Finn is a game day player.
Nine trials later Blackwater’s Last resort “Finn” is a Field Champion and qualified for National. Wow!
