Ch. Full Blast, son of Ch. Pennstar, got an early start on the fall cover dog season with a solid performance at the West Branch Grouse Trial Open All-Age. “Jeb” pounded through the heavy cover on the Murphy farm, near Carbondale, PA to dig up three woodcock during his performance. “Jeb” stood his birds with outstanding style and for his overall effort was awarded first place. Dave Hughes was at the controls as he has been for most of Jeb’s all-age and Championship wins. It was doubly satisfying to see “Jeb’s” son, Blast Zone, keep it in the family by winning the open derby at this trial with an outstanding effort and broke wild bird work.
