She won her 1st Qualifying while still in Derby, then won her 2nd Derby the next weekend. She won her 2nd Qualifying at 26 months. Phanny won over both PINK - 2008 NDC, and AMMO - 2009 NDC (All-Time Hi-Pt Derby Champ)in the same Derby. 2009: Qualifying 1st at SARC; Amateur Jam at CSCRC. 2010: Open Jam Michiana RC 4/24; Amateur 4th Flat River RC 5/8; Open 2nd Wolverine RC 5/24 (she beat 10 FC-AFC's, including the FC-NAFTCH "TIE" and our AFC Glen Lake Black Kirsty). Her continuing maturity and trial experience bodes well for future success. Phanny loves training, is a very quick learner, “smacks” a water blind as if it were a mark! She is a strong swimmer in cross & head winds, an all-purpose hunter, field trailer & affectionate companion. Amateur trained and handled by myself. Phanny will be bred to a genetically clear Titled Sire next heat.

She is a sleek 75 lbs of go-power and handles better than her "Big Sister" AFC Lark (Lark beat 25 pros & 25 amateurs to win the open at Michiana; phanny jammed that open). I am leaving Michigan for Klamath Falls in about a week; maybe we could meet there - we would love to see Grady in action. CHEERS!

I had the chance to throw birds for him when he was at Brick's training grounds here in Iowa a year ago this past summer. He is a great guy to talk to and to watch when he is training his dogs. He and Brick taught me a lot. Bill told me about a litter of pups last spring and I bought one. I am glad that I did because she is doing fantastic. Tell Bill that Tom and my labs Chunk and Ruby are doing great. Thanks, Tom Blumer. I wish that I could be there at the Cliic that Bill is putting on.
