2011 Region #4 Champion Grouse River Ace


Jim Cipponeri would like to thank everyone for coming and supporting the Region 4 A.F.T.C.A. Walking Championship at Highland Trial Grounds.

This last Sunday a Champion was named for the A.F.T.C.A. Region 4 Walking Shooting Dog. Congratulations to Bryan Wood for winning his first Championship with Grouse River Ace, He he had a superb forward race and 2 immaculate finds on the always difficult Highland Course, there was no RU Champion named.,

Derby congrats to Ron Sposita’s Joan Jett, the winner, Bryan Wood for Grouse River Black Jack, second, and Gary Vitali’s Grousringer Stogie for third place. It was a very good trial, managed well by Jim and Connie Cipponeri and well judged by Sandy Maclean and Craig Merlington along with Derby judges Bill Darr and George Crumlich. It was great to see the support given this event by Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania trialers.
