Now, more than 50 years later our 3-year old, Super Storm Cliff, also returned to these improved grounds after winning here in the fall of 2022.  While &#8220;Cliff&#8221; only had one find here in the fall of 2022 to win the stake, here in the spring he scored five well-spaced finds.  Each encounter with quail bore witness to his high style and pointing intensity.  All finds were steady-to-wing and shot executed without moving virtually a hair.   Not only was   &#8220;Cliff&#8221; the bird finding star of the day, he put down a strong ground hunting pattern exhibiting plenty of drive.  Classy moving and hard driving, &#8220;Cliff&#8221; won a lot of admirers this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The historic Freeland Kennel Club grounds was the host of the spring Ridgerunner&#8217;s FTC events, April 29, 2023.
