Open Shooting Dog Winners (front, l-r): Sweet Grass Skipper with David Huffine, Blue Ribbon's Harper Bella with Kristen Ferdinand, and Dun Rovens Midnite Ike with Jon Ferdinand. (Back row): Brian Ralph (judge) and Gary Miller (judge).

The North Carolina Pointing Dog Association held its second trial of the season on February 17-18 in Hoffman, North Carolina. It was perfect dog weather with just below freezing to start and cloudy upper 40s during the day.
The two-day trial drew 73 entries. Everyone enjoyed the Drew's dog wagon/trailer pulled by the Joyal's tractor that followed the course so spectators could view the braces.
A great lunch and end-of-the-day hot dogs and hamburgers were served on both days.
