Region 9 Continental Dog of the Year

[R-Heaton]

Need to give a "shout out" to Doug Favor's HBV Dunfur's Plan B just was awarded the Region 9 Cont. Dog of the Year. Not sure of the exact stats,,,, but I think Doug has won that just about every year for the last 100 years.

Good job Doug!

Rich how could you forget about Brandy, Mike, and the others that have won it recently? Brandy is in a class of her own.

Wow, that's cool man!! Hadn't heard but wondered if he mighta squeaked it out!! Hard to wrestle that plaque away from the Pennington and Rock Hard kennel crew here in Reg. 9!!

As long as we're braggin', huge brags, backslaps, high fives and thanks to my buds that helped me out with my hounds this spring while I was recovering from my glancing blow off the earth. Alex Bringhurst snagged Trixie on last minute notice to go and try to defend her previous years Utah FTA win at Howell Valley - made a great showing and brought home some hardware with her again! While doing that he somehow managed to dig deep into the recesses of Scoot's brain to retrieve to the forefront the Dunfur Kennel training he'd received last summer. He had him standing steady to flush/shot on sharpies and huns by the time I was up and about again! Rich Heaton snagged Scoots then, worked him on huns, quail and blue grouse then put him on the podium at a Boise Valley PDC derby qualifier stake with a broke find to boot to get him qualified for future championships now! Meanwhile, I couldn't bear to have Bugsy sitting idle while I felt sorry for myself so sent him up to Dan Hoke who apparently takes this bird dog stuff serious. He ran him around the Northwest All Age AKC trials to rack up three 1st's, two 2nd's and a 3rd. Holy schmolies - well done to Team Dunfur! These guys'r good bird dog guys...and better friends!! Might have to bust myself up more often!!

I think Doug has won that just about every year for the last 100 years.

Cripes I've never won it...always break on the flush to take myself out...too much prey drive!! Proud to have Rocky, Stitch, Trixie and Bugsy on the plaque though alongside some darn nice Reg. 9 conti's!

Da Bugs standing some sharps:


Did Idaho's Lucky Lady win the Reg. 9 Shooting Dog of the Year?? Again??

[R-Heaton]

Hey Doug,

You're pretty good at braggin .... once you get started .... congratulations! Da Bugs needs a couple more collars added to help strech that neck out like the tribal women in Africa. The white tuft of hair at the end of that western-cut stubtail styles up nicely!

[Fieldmaster]

Awesome Deal Doug. Seems like you guys are always in the hunt for the hardware. Congrats beautiful dog as well.

Big Congrats Doug!!! Hope your coming along fine and will be back in the saddle soon. Again Big congrats and way to go.

[DGFavor]

Is his FC finished now?

Nah, he probably earned a few points but just not too many dogs in the AA stakes in these parts - I think the ones he won probably had one dog in the stake... He's managed some awesome hunting outings and a couple hour championship placements so I'm pretty content with that!!:lol:

Been back in the saddle Robby for awhile riding my old, steady ponies! I rode Charlie Brown, the horse I tipped over on, for a couple hours today out in the hills - kept it real low key. I wanna be confident and in charge...but...I'm scared... Just takin' it slow - not lookin' for trouble or challenge, just easy hours in the saddle confidence building!

For the love of God,,,, Hitch up your skirt and go put some miles on that horse.

Hey Rich sounds like Doug is wearing PINK PANTIES not PINK GLOVES. You will be fine Doug wish I could go with you.

[Wagonmaster]

He is a fantastic dog to watch Doug. I hope we get a chance to run against each other again. Might be. I have a mode of transportation to get me out to your country lickety split now. Beam me up, Scotty.

[CherrystoneWeims]

congratulations, Doug!

Yep it's always hard to get back into the saddle after a bad fall. Especially when you go to get on the same horse that you fell off of!
