Bill West Derby Classic

Postby Kim S. on Wed Feb 03, 2010 12:18 pm

The Bill West Derby Classic was held in Kingman, AZ this past weekend. I'd like to give a huge CONGRATS to Steve Johnson and his dog Tana, who took 3rd place in some tough derby competition!! Placements were as follows:

1st - No Limit Rebuy PM (Joe) - Jim Schultz (AZ)
2nd - Dee Bone Dixie PF (Dixie) - Dee Hicks (OK)
3rd - Lindley's Lucky Lady PF (Tana, a Daisy x Ben pup!) - Steve Johnson (AZ).

Way to go, Steve and Tana!!

Where do the birds hide out there? They burrow? :)

They hide in the wash about half a mile to the front of the breakaway. (Slightly showing in the pic of Hawk.)

Makes for a nice opening move.......... :wink:
