Peter Casgrain’s amazing bird finding female, Star’s Misty Willow, won Runner-Up in the Rich Tuttle All-Age Classic held at Marienville, PA, November 14, 2011.  Willow, daughter of Pennstar x Rachael’s Chase Smith, ran her usual well-applied race which earned her two grouse finds.  Birds where hard to come by and the field of approximately 50 dogs struggled to locate grouse….not Willow.  Bird finding has been Willow’s forte over the past years as she has rung up a quality string of all-age wins for her owner, many of them in grouse-rich Michigan.  Willow’s genes were on display not only in the all-age stake but also in  the open puppy stake at Venango where one of her pups placed for Pete in a competitive stake.  Congratulations to Pete on both these nice wins.
