For the 2013-2014 cover dog field trial season, Full Blast has been officially named the winner of the Mike Seminatore Award.  This award goes to the top English Setter all-age dog cover dog.  “Jeb” built on his previous win of the Flanagan Award as the top cover dog setter derby by winning the Michigan Woodcock Championship in the fall of 2014.  In the fall he also was named RU Ch. in the Pennsylvania Grouse Championship.  Both these wins were accomplished in hot field trial weather over relatively dry courses.  Jeb rang up finds on grouse in the final minutes of his hour of hunting in both events to prove his toughness and ability to perform in the heat.  Then in the spring season, “Jeb” won the Ontario Grouse Championship again scoring on grouse in the last minute of his brace.  All these events featured large entries, filled with accomplished cover dogs, including more than a dozen champions.  It’s gratifying to have such a special dog to head our kennel.  “Jeb” joins other dogs we have owned, Grand National Grouse Ch. Body Guard and his current kennelmate, Grand National Grouse and Woodcock Invitational Ch. Straight Forward as previous winners of the Seminatore Award.   Not only is “Jeb” a strong competitor but he’s a gentle, quiet, handsome and respectful companion.  Right now, we are preparing him for the upcoming season and he’s looking strong, eager and sharp on his game
