The Highland Field Trial Club would like to thank everyone who attended the spring 2011 USCSDA Trial. The Highland FTC was blessed again with good running weather and also "no snow".The Trial started out sharp at 8:00am on Silo course Saturday morning with Judges Dave Heavlin and Paul Renilus mounted and ready for there judging duties for the next 2 days. They did a great job and was highly praised by handlers and owners, again thank you Dave and Paul for your services and helping the Highland Field Trial Club.
Breakfast was presented each morning by the club, which was just short of the classic breakfast of champions (Doughnuts and coffee), oh Bob Wheelock picked the doughnuts each morning from Tim Hortons of Milford, Mi.

The order for Saturdays running for the Silo course was Open Shooting Dog and then Open Derby. The Open Shooting Dog finished in time, but 2 braces of the Open Derby was left for Sunday morning, (we just ran out of day light). The Judge who subbed for the Derby with Dave Heavlin was Mike Brown who was kind enough to return the next day, which was a last minute decision, again the Highland FTC thanks you!
