Elwin Smith Amateur Shooting Dog Classic: Greg Strausbaugh and niece Ella, Doug Ray, Burl Hicks, David Steele with Two Spot Tommy, Stacy Goodie, Kyle Ebert, Chris Mahan, Robert Jones, Sherry Ebert, Izmel with Hard Truth, Whitley Stephenson, Sheila Cassidy, Eli Taylor with Miller's Upgraded Patent, Amiee Atkins, Earl Drew, Betty Shearouse with Shearjoy's Smooth As Silk, Harold Ray, Debbie Ozner, Margaret Drew, and George Hickcock.

2026 at the Smith Plantation was a continuation of the 2025 commencement of trials in honor of Elwin and Inez Smith on the 2,000 acres they developed off Ben Hatcher Road in Waynesboro, Georgia. The Smiths lived in Wexford, Pennsylvania, but wintered at their Shell Bluff Farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. Their desire to have smart-looking and smart-hunting setters as well as a plantation that was wildlife-friendly, especially for quail. The Smiths hired Harold Ray in 1964, who, with the encouragement and funding from the Smiths, began and continues to foster a quail hunting paradise at the Smith Setter Plantation grounds.

With the teamwork of Roger Duerksen and members of the Pittsburgh Field Trial Club, an amateur trial, the Ga-Lina Classic, was held on these grounds for several years. During a discussion with Harold Ray, it was stated that the amateur trials at the Smith Setter Plantation began around 1991. The discussion to revive this trial began in 2024. A team event needs a chairman, so Joe Cincotta assumed the role and put together a truly amazing group of people, partnering with Doug Ray to bring a major event back to Smith Setter Plantation. The team includes Brian Sanchez and Marty Robinson as co-chairmen. Other committee members are Doug Ray, Harold Ray, Sherry Ray Ebert, Chris Mathan, Margaret Drew, Anna Cruse and David Steele among countless hours by others during the event including Lea Ray, Bill and Jayne Bonnetti, Kyle Ebert, Amiee Atkins, Joyce Taylor and Doug's "crew" including Eli Taylor, Robert Jones, Kaley Anne Lee and the Smith Setter Plantation grounds crew. In the early 2000s, the Pittsburgh Field Trial Club was held in Mingo, Ohio, East Windsor, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

It was not held for a few years; however, in 2024, talks began between Doug Ray and Joe Cincotta and developed into the 2025 Smith Celebration. This newly titled event included both amateur and open stakes on the Smith Setter grounds, the rightful venue for the long-standing Smith Classics. No event at the Smith Plantation would be possible without the support and efforts of Doug and Harold. The grounds here are in constant care by Harold and Doug. In 2025, a total of 223 dogs were drawn for the event. In 2026, the Open Derby expanded to a one-hour Bill McNamee Open Derby stake and drew 25 entries. It also carried Purina points and the SBHA National Open Derby title. This year, the Amateur Derby was named the Jack Sanchez Amateur Derby Classic in honor of Jack Sanchez, who had recently passed. It drew 19 entries for this 30-minute stake. The hour Elwin Smith Amateur Shooting Dog Classic drew 76 entries. It is also a Purina Points stake, an SBHA National Amateur Recipient stake, and an AFTCA Invitational Points stake. The hour Inez Smith Open Shooting Dog Classic drew 66 entries. This stake is a qualifier for the National Open Shooting Dog Championship, as well as SBHA points, a Purina Top Shooting Dog Award Points stake, and a U. S. Invitational Points stake. Each stake had numerous prizes as itemized below. The Smith Top Setter in all four stakes received a crystal trophy and a stamped black metal setter ornament provided by Tim Hammon. All these entries totaled 186 for 2026.

The Bill McNamee Open Derby had three placements with a purse divided 50/30/20, crystal trophies from the Smith Celebration, SBHA crystal trophies, and one Smith Top Setter Award. The winner received a 410 shotgun and gift certificates from Eukanuba.

The Jack Sanchez Amateur Derby had three placements, crystal trophies from Smith Celebration, as well as a Smith Top Setter Award. With the combined contributions of the Pittsburgh FTC, SBHA, and the Smith Celebration, three gift certificates in the amounts of $200, $150, and $100 were given, as were gift certificates from Eukanuba, Dogs Unlimited, and Gun Dog Supply. Training Collars were awarded to the top three placements courtesy of SportDOG.

The Elwin Smith Amateur Shooting Dog Classic had three placements, two honorable mentions, and a Smith Top Setter Award. First place received a 410 shotgun and a painting of the dog. Gift certificates were given in the amounts of $400, $300, and $200. Honorable mention received $100 gift certificates. Second place received a leather scabbard, and third place a pistol holster. Crystal trophies to all, as well as SBHA crystal trophies to first, second, and third in recognition of the SBHA National Amateur Classic. All placements received gift certificates from Eukanuba. Additional gift certificates from Lion Country Supply and Dogs Unlimited. Training collars were awarded to the top three placements courtesy of SportDOG.

The Inez Smith Open Shooting Dog Classic had three placements, two honorable mentions, and a Smith Top Setter Award. A 50% purse divided 40/30/20. Honorable mentions received 5% of the entry fees. Crystal trophies to all. The winner received a 410 shotgun, second place a leather scabbard, and third place a leather pistol holster. Gift certificates from Eukanuba.
Shotguns were donated by Four Seasons (Doug Ray), as were the 3-shotgun scabbard made by Nyk Feller (ND), which went to the second-place winner. The pistol holsters given to the third-place winner were made by the Corlisses in Colorado.

Someone at the trial stated that a calm plantation was brought back to life with the arrival of the 2025 and 2026 Smith Celebration entries. In 2026, it even brought with it four seasons of weather. It was indeed a premier shooting dog event, topping numbers of entries and spectators from all other 2026 bird dog events.

This year, the Smith Celebration hosted special tributes at the Smith Celebration Dinner. Harold Ray was presented with a custom laser-cut wall hanging of two setters on point on quail surrounded by the title of Smith Celebration. Harold pointed above the clubhouse door where it will be hung. In addition, the Pittsburgh Field Trial Club, along with the Smith Celebration, presented Marty Robinson with a National Bird Dog Foundation Life Patron Award. The presentation was a surprise for Marty, and thanks to the help of Teresa Justice, we were able to surprise Marty with his family being in attendance. A tribute certainly deserved. One evening, Chip Kohser spoke to the group concerning Elite Nutrition and how it applies to horses, dogs, and people.

Special features that highlighted the Smith Celebration included many participants taking and posting photographs. In addition, each night your reporter posted the results of the braces, which could be read on the Smith Celebration Facebook page or in a daily journal covering each of the 15 days on the Field Trialer. Special thanks to all who added to helping keep everyone informed and up to date. The event featured a 16-page color booklet recognizing sponsors and judges, and provided a history of the Smiths and the beautiful Smith Setter Plantation grounds. Daily events were posted in the clubhouse. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided daily by MANY people. Some sponsorships arrived after the book had gone to press; consequently, if I have left anyone out, I apologize.

Thank You
The following list may seem unnecessary; however, for three meals a day, as prepared and/or served by Lea Ray and often Ryan Mobley, I cannot express our appreciation loudly enough. Evening meals included marinated thick pork chops, the traditional Smith Family turkey and ham feast, prime rib, BBQ of every description, spaghetti, southern country broil, lobster ravioli with shrimp, pork loin, always southern vegetables, or a fresh salad, and let's not forget a full ice cream sundae bar! We work hard to run all these dogs and keep everything going; therefore, meals are important. Thanks to Sweet Pea's Caf and Fish Eye Grill for their support. Also, we saw Sherry Ray Ebert and David Steele often helping with prep and cleanup.

When I think of the history of this trial, I think of how families have always been a big part of it. In the '90s, many children were present, and they made friendships, as did their parents, that are still active today. At this year's celebration, many children were once again present, developing these friendships and field trial development. Handling two dogs was Madi Lee, and scouting for her dad was Chloe Lewis. Also evident was the female involvement in handling dogs, scouting, and driving the dog wagon daily (Amiee Atkins), as well as your reporter. Another female, Chris Mathan, is pointed out by Chairman Cincotta for her graphic design work, Facebook posting, and endless support to elevate the trial.

Darrell Gunby's donation also covered the ice, beverages, and snacks for the 15 days on the morning and afternoon dog wagon supplies. Of course, there were a few days when homemade cookies were the choice of the hour, as provided by Melissa Thomas. On Sunday evening, we had an Ice Cream Social: making your own ice cream sundae or ice cream cone. All choices of topping were available. This well-received event was sponsored by Joe Lordi.

For three days, the clubhouse had the large picnic tables and benches removed so that rented round tables with chairs could be set up. The tables had blue tablecloths with center decorations. For Friday evening, the centerpieces celebrated Jack Sanchez. For the other two days, the centerpieces had hanging wood-burned sport dogs. Anna Cruse had once again been responsible for the decorations. Each table had a thank-you card for all to sign, which was being sent to Carman Musto, who designed and constructed all the sport dog centerpieces and cake decorations.

The Smith Celebration had a card drawing, conducted much as the past Ga-Lina trials had. This drawing was a "winner-take-all" drawing. The items included a saddle donated by David Steele, a Dakota large kennel donated by Bill and Jayne Bonnetti, and two Quality Wildlife Quail Recall systems donated by Jim Evans. The cards were drawn, and every pre-winning card owner received a black water bucket. (Even the buckets and cards were donated by Four Seasons Plantation.) When the winning card was drawn, the suspense heightened. David Steele had his card drawn; he graciously and generously donated the saddle back for an immediate auction. The top bidder was Harold Ray.

One evening, we held an auction with all items donated. The items included three months of horse training and boarding by Matt Key and family from Walking Horse Cartel Stables in Kentucky, Box of Primers from Four Seasons, Chris and Sabrina Corliss (CO) handmade knife and leather case, Cooler from Sweet Pea's Caf , 20th Century Print, roading harnesses donated by the Eberts, Waynesboro sweatshirts, vest and hats from Chamber of Commerce, "water hole" portable dog waterer from Melissa Thomas, Debbie Walker a painting on canvas, laser cut and powder coated setter and pointer mailbox toppers by Tim Hammon.

The 2026 course was well trimmed and marked with large, bright fluorescent paint on the trees. Some turns were marked by fluorescent hanging tape as you approached. The course had been laid out and marked by Harold Ray, David Steele, Sherry Ray, and Kyle Ebert before the trial began. A map of the course was nicely provided by Brian Gingrish on day three. It is hoped that the printed description and map will be posted in the clubhouse during the 2027 Smith Celebration.

The Three Courses
The course starts after the gate on Ben Hatcher Road, both in the morning and afternoon.
Go west through the sage field and into the small pines parallel to Ben Hatcher Road. Take a slight left down the slope with a house on your right and proceed through the pines into the powerlines. Keep right as you enter the powerlines.
Turn left toward the Trent Hurbert and Bert Gerry property line.
Circle past the pine deer stand and tall pines beside the swamp edge.
Turn right at the long, lovegrass area and then bend left under the powerlines. Dogs will work both sides of the powerline as the course continues in the field to tall pines. At the end, keep right toward the gun range.
Work east toward Howard land and cross Snake Hole, going up the hill and keeping left through the pines toward the spot we began near the gate. (A crew will open the gate and patrol the road for crossing).
After crossing Ben Hatcher Road, head toward the small house, passing northwest up a slight hill toward lovegrass fields, more pines, and a swamp on the left. Follow the field to the top of Rolling Hill to turn right toward the pond. Keeping the pond on your left, continue across the top and down the hill to Bottom Oaks. Keep left to cross Smith Road.
In the field, travel up the hillside and into the pines, passing the church deer stand and continuing down to Newbury Creek and up to Scott Hill. Keep left at the water tub to go through Long Leaf Pines into the oaks before winding toward Danny's Crossing.
At the top of the canyon, turn right and follow westerly along top edge of three ponds. After the third pond, turn left and go up and over East Hill (this is the east property line). Pass little Johnny's house on the left before going down through the canyon to pass the middle land gate on the north property line and proceed to the top of the hill. (pass barrel stand on the right).
Turn left down the edge of the layout field to tall pines and go right across Turkey Hill to the old hay field and little pines. At Newbury Creek Crossing, keep slightly right toward Big Oak on the left to head west toward a quail pen, pastures, and Smith Road.
Cross right and go down through the middle of the fenced pasture to the parking area and clubhouse. **Occasionally, this turn is not made, and we continue down the field, crossing Smith Road and continuing straight across the lower field and up the knoll until time is called.

The Bill McNamee Open Derby Classic
The Bill McNamee Open Derby ran March 10-11. This one-hour event was judged by Jason Williams of Blakely, Georgia, and Tommy Brigman of Rose Hill, North Carolina. Thirty-two coveys were reported during those two days. The winner was Silver W Cowgirl Candy (PF), bred, partially trained by, and handled by Debbie Ozner. At the 5-minute mark, a distant call of point was heard from the scout, Kaley Ann Lee. A staunch and sure derby stood awaiting the arrival of the handler, the judge, and a large gallery. When quail rose, and the shot was taken, Candy remained a statue until Debbie's praise and hands passed her to the scout for release. At 18, the situation was repeated for a second off-course find, with all handled with mature manners. After crossing the road, this course passes a small gray house and pole barn, as we leave the open and travel down and up a slight knoll with brushy cover on either side. Guess what? There she stood with a precisely located covey to be flown. Meandering forward through a wooded area and uphill to cross the ridge, looking down on the pond and houses on Smith Plantation, the committee had placed one on many water tubs for dogs to refresh in. Following a brief stop at the water tub, she scored another perfect find at 36. She worked her way along the ridge onto the lower side toward the big green field; however, when she stopped at 48, no birds were flown, and a nonproductive was marked. Running in brace two, this merry running, classy pointer had set the bar high to be in the winner's circle.
A littermate to Silver W Cowgirl Candy, Silver W Hot Pink was in Brace 3, although handled by Shawn Kinkelear. In this brace, owner and breeder Debbie Ozner was scouting her pointer female. At 4, on the right hillside near the small pines, scout called point for a well-handled covey. Again at 7, she stood proud and sure, awaiting her handler to flush. She hunted "spiritedly"; however, when she stood at 12, no birds flushed. The course travels southeast above three ponds before dropping down to cross an earthen dam. At 35, she stopped in a brushy growth for the handler to flush three quail. It was at this point that her bracemate, Walden's Ridge Dot Com, was standing on the other side of this area for her own pair of quail to be flushed. Handlers had scouts take their dogs to the edge of the water before releasing them to continue their hunt. When released, Hot Pink took a few steps and promptly stacked up. As her handler walked toward her, two quail burst quickly into the air. With a smile on his face, Kinkelaar ear reached his dog and took her on. After crossing the earthen dam, this course climbs an open grassy hill and works through some open woods. During her hunting tour in a side-to-side forward march, she was once again rewarded with a find at 55. At this time, a lengthy flushing attempt was made, and many would have given up; however, Kinkelaar read his dog and eventually got a covey up.
Third place went to pointer male Bad Prairie Storm Seeker, owned and handled by Quintin Wiseman. Despite very high temperatures, he ran a highly animated race. His range was medium to long, making several mature casts. As with the winner, Storm Seeker had drawn the course that crosses the road. After being given a good water tub soaking before being taken across the road, he eagerly bounded forward in a determined quest for quail. At 29, he located and stood with a positive location of a covey for the handler to flush. His finds were spread out, with other finds at 42 and 58.

The Open Derby Smith Top Setter Award went to Ravenwood Ball of Fire, owned by Joe Cincotta, under the whistle of Doug Ray. Ball of Fire ran in the first brace, putting down a good forward ground application, reaching very at times but always aware of her, scoring two finds, a stop to flush, and a nonproductive during her hour.

Jack Sanchez Amateur Derby Classic
The Jack Sanchez Amateur Derby Classic was a 30-minute stake judged by Sherry Ray, Mott, North Dakota, and Joyce Taylor, Little Rock, Arkansas. There were 19 entries in search of the 26 coveys found by dogs or reported by the gallery and scouts.
The inaugural running of the Jack Sanchez Amateur Derby Classic began at 2 p.m. on March 12. This derby stake was named in honor of Jack Sanchez. His family has supported and helped run trials for many years. Today, Brian serves as a top amateur handler and co-chairman of the Smith Celebration. His family sponsored breakfast and a fabulous Friday evening dinner with lobster ravioli, shrimp, and a chicken dish for those who couldn't have seafood. It was a true honor for Brian to handle his pointer male Great River Titan to the first-place spot. Titan ran in Brace 5 as bracemate for Bad Prairie Storm Seeker. His first location came at 6 in the cover above the pasture, followed by a stop to flight at 7 as he started up the hill. At 9, he was seen to be standing again, although no quail were located for flush. Across the top of the hill, he hunted with determination and style in good sync with the handler who guided him down the red clay hill. Once having navigated the hill, his snappy body was seen locked high and tight, awaiting the handler to flush. At 14, Brian flushed with all in order. Polishing his 30 minutes was a desirable finish following a back at 19. Titan and Brian appeared to have a mutual understanding: Titan's job was to run, hunt, point, and await the handler for flush and shot.
Second place went to Walden's Ridge Dot Com, pointer female, owned and handled by David Steele. Dot Com ran in Brace 3 and was scouted by Brian Sanchez in the usual help others attitude of the Sanchez family. Dot Com rolled forward with beautiful casts scoring the precise location of quail at 6. While standing at 14, she withstood the stress of a bracemate running by her. Handler chose not to attempt a flush but just took her on. Showing determination and intelligence in hunting, she scored additional pleasurable finds at 18 and 28.
Third went to Cape Point Wildfire, a pointer male with Bill Bonnetti from Massachusetts. Wildfire stretched forward, hitting the cover so as to be stopped to the right of the course by a well-hidden covey at 8. Manners and style were very good. He slowed a little through the wooded area; however, we soon saw him vigorously searching the front. As the 30 minutes were counting down, he scored a find at 23 and again at 29 when scout called point. Following a lengthy search and a relocation, a small covey was flushed.

The Elwin Smith Amateur Shooting Dog Classic
The Elwin Smith Amateur Shooting Dog Classic, a direct tradition of the Smith family and their desire to celebrate and promote amateur trials, drew 76 entries. Judging this class were Sherry Ray Ebert and Whitley Stephenson, president of the NC Field Trial Association. My daily tally of quail count for this amateur stake totals 239. The winner was Two Spot Tommy, a 6-year-old pointer male owned by Jett Ferebee of Greenfield, North Carolina. As Jett was ill, David Steele handled Tommy to his placement. Drawn for Brace 22, this brace benefited from 14 coveys seen during their hour. He ran with eye-catching animation, seldom in the path, and as expected, proper for wing and shot. His race was consistent from beginning to end, his cast ending with well-located birds. He had two backs and one nonproductive. His first find was at 27, followed by others at 35 and 42. He did have a stop to flight after his 35-minute pair of quail flushed. At 48, he required a little scouting, but was found standing. Buried in the tall sedge grass, he scored a nice covey at 50. Finishing his hour, he was credited with a find along the fence at 56. Pleasing appearance in action and on point had earned him a well-deserved placement.
Second went to Hard Truth, a 7-year-old pointer male owned by Dr. Bob Canada. He ran in Brace 27 and was handled by Brian Sanchez. His intense desire to find quail was exhibited with his attack to the cover at a proper range and pace in areas where quail would likely be found. With head and tail high, he had a divided find early in the hour, followed by a find at 26, where a quail was under a log. Once again, making a long cast, he was found at the end of a long field where a covey was flushed. He had a back at 55. He had strong casts that ended in point being called and birds being flushed.
Third went to Miller's Upgraded Patent, a pointer female owned by Dr. Bob Canada and Harold Ray, who was drawn for Brace 37. She sailed out of sight through the opening field, passed into the small pines area, and was found standing adjacent to the bracemate hidden beyond the small pine row on the Ben Hatcher side of the course. As the handlers called point, the judges were crowded by the gallery with someone calling out the flight of bird in the air; however, no birds were seen by the judges. Due to the confusion, both dogs were taken on with no record of the situation. The gallery was reminded to stay back and allow the handlers to flush without interference. She made several long casts, sometimes we would be thinking that she was standing out of sight, when she would appear or be found standing. She was found poised attractively at 29, 40, and 47; however, no birds were flown at 47. Just before time was up, scout called point deep to the left of course. With the bracemate having been picked up, judges and a few from the gallery responded to the call with the handler. With all in order, birds were located. She finished her hour by marching swiftly around the remaining gallery, passing down the right side of the field, before crossing at the end of the field along the edge of the woods, where she stopped once again.

Named as honorable mention were Touch's Lone Dominator, a pointer female with Dr. Kirk Cantrell, and One Day Queen Bee, a pointer female with Lane Hodges. Both dogs ran wide races. Both entries put down fine performances and showed their potential as top-flight contenders. The Smith Top Setter Award went to Shearjoy's Smooth As Silk, a setter female owned and handled by Betty Shearouse. The beautiful orange and white female setter showed nicely on her game. She opened up to show off her legs midway through the hour to earn her the coveted recognition of Smith Celebration Top Setter.

Inez Smith Open Shooting Dog Classic
The Inez Smith Open Shooting Dog Classic was to be held in Arkansas; however, due to an emergency, it was held in Waynesboro once again. With four large stakes, it took 17 days to complete the 2026 Smith Celebration. This was a monumental task for the working committee. Harold and much of his plantation help had their controlled burn behind us on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 26. During the Open Shooting Dog Classic, 92 coveys were seen during these 33 braces.
Placing first in the Inez Smith Open Shooting Dog Classic was Waybetter Rebel, a pointer male owned by Bill and Muriel Primm, Madison McDonald, and Allen Linder with Mike Tracy. Rebel ran in Brace 17, displaying the kind of race the judges were looking for. He had a forward race with a rhythmic lick and always to the front at a medium range. On point, he was high and tight on his five finds, even pumping himself up as birds were flown and shot was taken. On one find, the judges said he showed great bird sense, as with the wind against him he still had precise location of the covey. Rebel had his finds spread out starting at 2, with more at 13 and 15 near the powerlines. He had a stop-to-flush while returning to the course after his off-course find, as well as one other. He had one nonproductive at 25 at the end of the tall pines. At 39, the scout once again found him standing deep in the cover.
Second place went to Rampage, a pointer male owned by S. Tucker Johnson and handled by Tracy Swearingen. Rampage ran a fast, wide sweeping race with a very snappy gait. He had six finds and one nonproductive.
Third place was given to Walden's Ridge Dot Com, a pointer female owned by David Steele, with Doug Ray. Dot Com ran a good shooting dog race, required little scouting, and held her tail and head high on point as well as holding steady to wing and shot. She had five coveys flushed for her and scored one nonproductive. She had a back at 16. The judges commented on her ease of handling with classy, intelligent hunting.
Receiving honorable mention were Miller's Upgraded Patent, a pointer female owned by Dr. Bob Canada and Harold Ray, and handled by Doug Ray. Tracy Swearingen handled S. Tucker Johnson's pointer male, Silver Wing, to an honorable mention placement as well. The Smith Top Setter Award went to Hatteras Rip Tide, owned by Jett Ferebee, under the whistle of Doug Ray.
