The old red dog got to put a few more letters in front of his name this weekend and we could not possibly be more proud of him. After yesterday He is now:
NationalGRHBCH WORLDHBCH GRHBCHHOF PCH GRCH NHBA HOF TNT'S 3MC CHIEF
We're super happy that the newest addition Sammie could join us for a winning picture with the old man to close out the weekend, and it required a nap to recover from the long day. Chief also earned a spot into the clash final 32 earning another $500.00. Thank you to Cory and Josh for always showing up and helping at all the big hunts and running back and forth from work, ball fields, or whatever else they have going on to help with the dogs. A special thanks to Jeff Duvall, he ran these dogs and kept everything in shape while we were all at work, at the hospital, experiencing life with a new baby, and just flat being lazy. Not many people that we would trust to just come get dogs and run but Jeff did a top notch job and obviously after a long weekend of running, this wouldn't have been possible without him. I believe (not positive) Chief is only the 2nd dog to ever hold both titles of National grand hunting beagle champion and World Hunting Beagle Champion. The first earned around 4 years old the 2nd earned at 8.5. Chief has won us countless dog boxes, tracking systems and collars, cash, and jackets with his numerous wins and placements at many big hunts. I believe the old dog has earned the life of retirement and breeding girlfriends at this point in time. Thank you to everyone that has helped us along the way.
