Dusty shook off recent surgery on his right front paw to post 3rd and 4th place finishes in Doubles at the Central Wisconsin Chukar Challenge. These great runs coupled with other good runs during the season earned him the Wisconsin Series Doubles Pointer “Dog of the Year Award.” He also ran a quick 4:27 to win the singles event. Dusty turns 9 in April and will run an abbreviated schedule after the BDC Nationals. In the past 12 months Dusty has won 4 Majors, BDC’s “ Road Warrior Award”, and a Wisconsin Series DOY award. His 21 points earned at Woods and Meadows also keeps him in BDC’s Race for the Chase. Way to go Schmucky Boy!
Annie also had a good weekend. Her 4th place finish in Singles earned 8 points and brings her total to over 100 in BDC’s “Race for the Chase”. She continues to lead “The Chase”. She also finished 2nd in The Wisconsin Series Single Pointer “Dog of the Year “, missing 1st place by .55 points, and 3rd in Doubles “Dog of the Year”.
Special thanks to Craig Steinbach and Jamie Palmer for guiding Dusty and Annie in the Doubles events and to Kevin Kimmes, Dick Hynes, and Mark Sweeney for handling them in the Singles events!

January 17th, 2010
The official BDC results have been posted.Dusty is the winner of BDC’s first annual ” Road Warrior” trophy. After spirited competition through out the Spring and Summer with Bill Berner’s dog Willy ( 2009 Top Gun Pointer High Point Dog) Dusty pulled ahead in the fall to post the win. Berner’s other dog Jake and Windy Creek’s Annie also placed high in the standings. The “Road Warrior”award is given to the dog that beats the most other entries during the year. And you can’t beat em if you’re not at the event so ” on the road again”! Several great handlers helped Dusty get this award..many from the Wisconsin Series last Winter and Spring but special thanks should be given to the ones that ran him last Summer and Fall: Brian Bachman ,Mike Wallace, Jake Smazinski, Jerry Brost, Steiny, and Tom Glynn.
