The Breeders Championship would start Wednesday March 24th, 2021 at the beautiful grounds of Talbot Conservation area located near Mount Vernon, MO on Missouri off Highway 96. The judges for this prestigious event would be Tim Penn from Edina, MO and Andy Neria from Savonburg, KS. We drew 25 dogs for this Championship. With a planned kick off at 8:00 a.m. the birds planted, and the weather was cool with a slight breeze. This is not just an ordinary trial with certain criteria needed to be qualified to run so, we did have to turn a few dogs away.

Pictured is Adam Delude with Northern Region Champion, Alliwood's Shady Shay. The 2021 NBHA Northern Regional Championship was run this year at the Yellowstone Wildlife Management Area, near Argyle WI. The grounds are very rolling with plenty of acreage to allow a dog to stretch their legs, yet be willing to stay with you. The 12 O'clock FTC always hosts a very welcoming, warm event and this year was no different. Many new handlers joined the members and pro entries. The field consisted of numerous Champions and AKC Field Champions as well. Thank you to each and every owner and handler who joined this Championship.
