The scores are in and it wasn’t hard to figure out the winners. Tom Krause and Dapper Dan had a great year and would have been hard to catch but a couple of off late trials made it interesting.

Carl Downs and Sassy, winning every puppy trial but one they entered, really made it hard on everyone. Will look forward to watching this pair in the big field next year.

James Parnell took handler of the year in a land slide of points. With two of his dogs winning or in the money each week in the big field and his puppy doing the same in the little field it wasn’t much of a contest. It’s obvious he puts in the time and this is a just reward for those efforts.
