Congrats on the show win. Do you know any of the other results?

Well I do Know that Bill and Diedra Ashcrafts (WVBILL) Dog 2009 NBC TC CH PCH CH HBCH SUNDOWN MARK V'S QUEEN SIDNEY WON it all...And looked Good Doing it..
Bill can Correct me if i am Wrong but i think she also took best 13 inch in the show They also placed their other hound just Cannot find my Book that i copied Everything into..
Albert West dog Ebon Took best 15 inch male in brace and placed in the Top 5 if i am Not mistaken
Incahoots Also Placed again With their Dirty Pond Abbe..
I Will See if i can get Somebody to Send me the list....

The Triple Challenge was a well-organized event with great hounds and a great bunch of people. To my mind, it is the top beagle event out there because hounds and their handlers are required to compete in three different events in one.

Congratulations to WVBill, TC and everyone else who placed a hound. Bill's dog had a good run in the trio on Saturday to get 88 points, and then had a great Sunday to take the most points overall by a rather wide margin.

We got home about 7 pm Sunday evening, but stopped several times and took the scenic route. After the rain stopped Monday afternoon, I took out 15 hounds and had running as good as that in Virginia. Great time of year for hunting!

Today I have a cold from all my fun over the weekend....

Congrats.... way to go TC, I hope to attend next year with one of my females.
