To open the spring grouse trial season, our female derby Game Changer and Mike Spotts’ male, High Impact, scored first and second respectively in both the West Branch and Venango Grouse Trials. These littermates are from a mating of Impact Player and our Grand National Grouse Ch. Full Tilt. Each has a number of other puppy and derby wins. Their hunting efforts were impressive featuring hard driving and hard hunting, done in an especially eye catching manner. Both are flashy, quick and have cracking tails when they run. Their searching carried them to the limits of hunting range and at West Branch, where they were braced together, some commented it was among the most exciting braces they had ever witnessed.
