2020 NGSPA PRAIRIE CHICKEN
CHAMPIONSHIPS
By Robin Lambourn
We had another exciting week running dogs on wild birds at the 2020 renewal of the NGSPA
Prairie Chicken Championships at the scenic Saner Ranch in Blaine County, Nebraska. This year
saw one significant change. For 2020, the NGSPA Board of Trustees voted to start the Chicken two
weeks later and the NGSPA Hungarian Partridge Championships two weeks earlier. The past two
years, the Chicken had multiple delays due to temperatures in the mid to upper nineties. The high
temperatures in Nebraska in early September made it difficult to run a safe trial with a level playing
field. The field trial committee extends its gratitude to Keith & Robert Richardson for agreeing to
run the Hun two weeks earlier to accommodate this change.
The new time slot, begins ing on. October 2nd this year, indeed yielded more favorable running
conditions. The weather was cool throughout the Open Shooting Dog Championship.
Championship, eighties during the Amateur Shooting Dog Championship, and nineties for the
Amateur All-AgDraft - Dece Classic, but the trial suffered no delays. Besides the temperature, the
running conditions were quite different from last year. Whereas last hear the area had above-
average rainfall and thick negation, this year the Sandhills had almost no precipitation after July.
The drought not only resulted in thinner vegetation, but clearly diminished scenting conditions.
The gallery observed birds in the air during al out every brace, but the local prairie chickens and
sharp tailed grouse had a difficult nesting season. Large hail plummeted Blain County during late
June and early July.. Most birds observed were adults rising in singles and doubles and not large
coveys of young birds. The few young birds pointed appeared to have hatched from re-nesting
efforts. The cagey adult birds were very challenging quarry for the dogs, but we saw sufficient bird
numbers to keep things interesting. The cream rose to the top once again, and the difficult
conditions and quarry added weight to every Championship awarded.
Before describing the running, the field trial committee wishes to express its sincere thanks and
gratitude to all those without whom this field trial would not happen. Thank you to Troy and
Peyton Saner for hosting us again on their slice of sandhill heaven. Troy marshaled All-Age Classic.
We also extended our thanks to Jim West and Rhonda Haukoos for lending us their training
grounds and selflessly helping in many other ways. Everyone looked forward to Rhonda’s
delicious meals. We also could not have run the trial without Jim’s help running the dog wagon,
judging, and setting courses.
We were fortunate to hav e well-qualified judges a year in which most have had particular difficulty
finding good judges. Thank you to all of them for donating their time. Thank you as well to our
generous sponsors, who have remained committed to our trial and our sport in a time of declining
marketing budgets. Purina once again provided ProPlan dog food to the winners and financial
support.

Thank you to Greg Blair, Terry Trzcinski and to everyone else at Purina.SportDOG Brand also

out to Charter Arms for providing a Pro 209 Starter pistol to the Amateur Shooting Dog Champion
and Burris Optics for generously donating first-class binoculars and gift certificates. These
binoculars made excellent landowner gifts right before deer season. We also thank Dogs
Unlimited for sponsoring our daily happy hour. The field trial committee extends its sincere
appreciation to all these sponsors and encourages everyone to buy their excellent products, if
possible.
Finally, the field trial committee extends it’s gratitude to the many professionals and amateurs who
attend, including Dan DiMambro, April Raber, Josh Nieman, Rich and Penny Robertson, Keith
Richardson, Mark and Chase Verdoorn, Dick Walters, Brandon and Jen Blum, Alan Davison, Frank
Verret, Greg Hellbusch, Brian Hill, Karen Niffeneger, Richie Rodgers, Janes Juergens and John
Holcomb. Thank you all for your support.
OPEN SHOOTING DOG CHAMPIONSHIP
Jon Small and Robin Lambourn judged the Open Shooting Dog Championship, the first stake of
the trial. Jon has considerable experience judging American Field and AKC horseback field trials
for all breeds in many venues. Jon formerly campaigned shorthairs and currently owns pointers.
John also competes in retriever field trials, adding to his diverse background. Temperatures
remained cool for all three days of the stake, with lows near freezing in the morning and highs in

Free Ride; Brandon Blum
the sixties and seventies. The participants and gallery observed birds flushing in almost every
braces, although most dogs had difficulty handling these wary prairie grouse.
Neverless, the judges had several worthy performances from which to choose their winners. The
Champion, Riden High Trixie (DiMambro), came from the sixth brace. Trixie started with a stylish
back at 5. Trixie’s race grew more powerful and ambitious as the hour progressed, with minimal
handling. Trixie made an impressive move at 30 through a valley while the gallery rode along a
sandhill ridge above, swinging around to the front as the course turned left. Another big move
along a fence line was rewarded with a covey find at 38. Trixie pointed stylishly, high on both
ends, as the covey lifted. Trixie finished stronger than she started, cutting a strong wind while she
hunted the downwind side of a sandhill.
The Runner-Up Champion, Autry’s natural Chromoly Steel (Nieman), call name Molly, ran in the
third brace. The judges had considerable difficulty separating the two winners. Molly broke away
with a big cast to the east. Shortly after she returned, Molly’s handler called point at 5 while she
stood on the backside of a sandhill. The judges observed a single chicken flushing after the call of
point while Molly stood mannerly. Molly continued to make big swings around the serpentine
shooting dog course presented to her and finished strong. Molly had perhaps a more consistently
powerful race from start to finish than the Champion, but the Champion required less handling
with as comparable race and had a superior piece of bird work. Molly also suffered a non
productive at 31.
DECEMBER 2020 62020 Amateur Shooting Dog Championship
Peter Coppens, judge; Brandon Blum; Keith Bryant with BMB's Samsquanch; Greg
Hellbusch, judge
Other dogs that pushed the winners included PW Evolution’s Primo’s Recreation (Robertson), call
name Spike, running in the second brace. Spike made an impressive cast soon after the
breakaway around an adjacent sandhill, showing far to the front. Spike had a stylish find at 40 on a
five-bird covey. PW Indian Brook Heads Up (Robertson), call name Enzi, also piqued the judges’
interest in the last brace of the stake. Enzi scored a very broke covey find at 13. This particular
covey appeared to have hatched very late. One of the Chukar-sized birds flushed five feet in front
of the dog and landed five feet behind the dog while Enzi handled the pressure with aplomb. Enzi
carded another covey find at 37 in a bowl to the front. Unfortunately, nonproductives at 47 and 55
pushed Enzi out of contention.
OPEN ALL AGE CHAMPIONSHIP
We were fortunate to have Peter Coppens and David Quijano judge the Open All-Age
Championship. Peter has extensive experience campaigning shorthairs as an amateur. Peter also
chairs the National German Pointing Dog Association National Championship in Illinois. David is a
successful amateur from Texas with many judging assignments to his credit. David agreed to
replace Warren Eizman on short notice, who suffered an injury before the trial.
The judges named BMB’s Free Ride (Blum), call name Lewey, the Champion and withheld the
Runner-Up placement. Lewey ran in the fifth brace in mid-afternoon. Temperatures were in the
mid-seventies with clear skies. Braced with Riden High Rudy (DiMambro), both dogs broke away
in all-age fashion, with Lewey running a ridge of course right and Rudy making a huge cast up
another sandhill to course left. After a nonproductive at 30, Lewey continued to run the ridges

Hellbusch with Snowy River's Top Gun Maverick
until he was found standing on the backside of a hill at, with a single chicken lifting as the riders
approached. Simultaneously, Rudy came in for a mannerly back. Lewey, along with his bracemate,
finished strong to the front.
Other dogs had prairie all age performances but did not have birds. The judges ordered a runoff
between two such dogs to fill their second placement. The two dogs whose initial hour merited
extra opportunity were Rudy and Lambourn’s Surface to Air Missile (Nieman), call name Sam. Rudy
was braced with the champion, and his initial hour is described above. Sam ran his first hour
before lunch in brace three. Sam’s application grew as the hour progressed. Sam and his
racemate made a big move at 30 onto the neighbor’s property. Sam was later seen rimming a
sandhill ridge a half mile to the front, finishing his cast across the road in the adjacent section at
time. Unfortunately, neither Sam nor Rudy scored bird work during the runoff the following
afternoon. As the NGSPA running rules require a find on the species in a species championship,
the judges withheld their second placement.
AMATEUR SHOOTING DOG CHAMPIONSHIP
Peter Coppens returned to the saddle for the Amateur Shooting Dog Championship, with Greg
Hellbusch joining him to judge the twenty-one entries. Hellbusch is a successful amateur from the
Kansas City area. Scenting conditions deteriorated during this stake as the temperatures rose.
DECEMBER 2020 8The judges awarded the Championship to BMB’s Samsquanch (Blum), call name Sam, running in the sixth brace at the end of the day. Sam bested the rest of the field with a strong shooting dog race and a great finish along a ridge. Sam started with a stylish back at 10, followed by a mannerly find at 42. The judges withheld the runner-up placement, although a few other dogs had a championship- quality ground game but finished without bird work. Of note, Snowy River’s White Out (Chase Verdoorn), call name Willy, had the judges hoping he would find birds in the tenth brace. Willy ran a powerful shooting dog race, handled well, and finished strong. The judges also commented that Hi-Tailyn’s Talented Texan (Keith Bryant) ran a spirited race in the seventh brace with great ground speed and a smooth. Tex stayed to the front and handled kindly throughout his hour. At the end, however, the judges had no difficulty choosing their winner. AMATEUR ALL-AGE CLASSIC David Quijano returned to judge the amateur all-age stake with Troy Saner. Unfortunately, the judges could not find an all-age performance paired with acceptable bird work. Therefore, the judges downgraded the stake to a classic., giving first place to BMB’s Free Ride (Blum) and second placed to Snowy River’s Top Gun Maverick (Hellbusch). Nevertheless, all who attended enjoyed watching some impressive ground races, including some exciting young all-age prospects. Lewey had another strong run with all-age application in the second brace. Lewey’s handler retrieve ed him after Lewey missed a sharp turn at 8, but Lewey remained to the front thereafter. Lewey suffered a nonproductive at 50 after he was found Stan ding on a limb and finished his hour to the front. Maverick took second place running in the fourth brace of a ninety-one degree day. Maverick started strong and pushed forward throughout his run. Maverick made a big swing at 15 around a stock pond to course left, showing back up to the front. Maverick co ntinjued to run with all-age purpose throughout his hour but did not finish quite as strong as the winner. Keep an eye on this exciting young dog. OPEN DERBY CLASSIC The Open derby showcased some energetic young prospects, with several fine performances from which the judges could choose. Jim West and Brandon Blum graciously agreed to judge. Jim is a well-kn own professional with decades of experience with many breeds. In particular, Jim is known for some of the great German Wirehairs and Shorthairs that he has trained and handled over the years. Brandon is a formidable amateur handler. The Derby was run in the heat of a very warm day, and the judges placed all three winners on run. The first and second placements both came from the second brace, with Horicon Havens Fireball (DiMambro), call name Archie, placing first and PW That Was Then This Is Now (Robertson) placing second. Both dogs made all-age casts and showed all-age potential. The judges had difficulty separating the two dogs, with the difference being that the winner was marginally more forward and finished out of sight. Karma Is A Dee (DiMambro) placed third with a biddable shooting dog DECEMBER 2020 9
application that showed potential to expand with seasoning.The field trial committee thanks the
many who attended, helped, judged, or sponsored. We hope to see everyone back in the
Nebraska Sandhills in 2021.
