This is her son Jesse, Zodiaks Desperado From Eagle Ridge & my new up and comer. Jess was to young to run field events last year so we hit the shows, he didn't let me down taking Best Bred by Exhibitor at a large show and picking up a 4 pt major his first time out at only 7 mnths old! He has won at 5 consecutive shows & needs a major to finish now. Spring we hit the field events & he had the same winning streak, placing in his first trial & winning the next 5 (including 3 stakes at one trial) attaining all his puppy and derby points in open and amatuer at a year old. He had a great hunting season last year as well.
