Two weeks ago, March Madness began... and I don't mean the basketball thing. March 24th was the start of the International Brittany Championships. Four 1-hour Championships, followed by the Iowa Brittany Club regional field trial... and we're not done yet! This morning's snow has delayed the start of the Ed Powell Memorial Grand Open Gun Dog Championship.
For those enjoying the day off, here are the results from the International Championships, and IBC trial. Entries were down this year, but the competition was fierce! Congratulations to all the placing dogs!
