On January 17, 2025 the Indian Creek team came out in full force for The 50th Anniversary NBHA Arkansas State Classic held in Booneville, Arkansas.
It was a clean sweep for Team Indian Creek.
Indian Creek Sprout displayed her edge seeking style. An exciting but connected move at finish earned her the third place spot. Second was Indian Creek Spur who didn’t raise an eyebrow to the flight of multiple bird finds. His persistent nature made the course seem all too easy for this up and coming superstar. Mohawk Mill Trail Warrior claimed the first spot on the podium. Outsmarting the birds on some tricky relocations, his talent and experience shined through as he combed the course with desire and style. Hiding in plain sight, he ended the hour with an expertly handled covey find to top off his five find performance proving he was the complete package for a Classic winner!
Following the lead of our veteran shooting dog team, our derbies, Hog Hill FAFO and Haney’s Big Country already had their minds made up at the starting line that they were going to attempt to outdo the other. “Big” ran a race that matched his name, paired with perfect bird work earning him the second place spot in the Open Derby Classic.
Despite his kennel mate’s namesake, Hog Hill FAFO hunted at extreme lengths in race and talent scoring a covey at finish which earned him first place honors. Congratulations to all owners of the weekend Tim Cavanaugh and Black Meadow Kennels! As always thank you to the West Ark field trial club, trial chairman and judges. Your hospitality made it a “classic” Arkansas event!

“Three digits” 100!

Our third spotlight of the night is one that was achieved in 2024, but the work and dedication to make it a reality began many years (even decades) prior. It was a goal we set a few years ago while questioning its attainability. But… on March 9, 2024 at the NBHA Central States Regional Championship in Booneville AR we fulfilled our goal with Garry winning his 99th & 100th Championship title!
It was only fitting in this full circle moment that Ch Pure Confidence (a decorated veteran) won the Championship with newly crowned RU Champion Indian Creek Spur taking the Runner Up spot. Both wins reminding us of all it took to achieve this success, making this a treasured token in our countdown.

Twice is Nice!

Our second highlight of the countdown brings us to Argyle, Wisconsin for the 2024 NBHA Northern Regional Championship, which has made its home here for the past few years at the beginning of April. This was our last Championship of the season creating cause for celebration on a tour well traveled! It was clear Ch Indian Creek Bocephus had a goal in mind as he zeroed in on the course from the breakaway. His pattern paralleled the rolling lines of the course with immense intensity on game scoring him RU Champion!
Newly acquired Ch Mohawk Mill Trail Warrior “Buddy” is a dog that will make you smile! He gave a performance full of effortless ease and bird finding mastery staking his claim as the Championship title and being crowned King of the North!
Over the years of field trialing, there are certain “snap shots” that come to mind, pieces a dog’s performances that paint themselves in my memory because they are the moments that make me the happiest. The greatest photos I have of field trailing aren’t the ones that are taken and posted but the ones that aren’t. Buddy’s take on new territory and Bo’s powerful finish as Garry greeted him at the end of the hour are two images I’ll never forget!

As the clock counts down to 2025, join us as we share some of our favorite moments of 2024 to ring in the New Year!

First up:

Writing his own chapter in 2024, Ch Pure Confidence (Tango) showed up in style. Coming in strong for our first Championship of the year at the NBHA Southern Championship at AG preserve in Glenwood, GA on January 27th. His bird finding charge cut through the morning fog taking home this exciting Championship win!
His next endeavor was the 2024 NBHA National Open Breeder’s Invitational Championship in February at Grovesprings, MO where his signature composure and edge seeking performance won him this prestigious title!
It was on March 9, 2024 at the NBHA Central Regional Championship in Booneville, AR where Tango reminded us of how much he truly loves what he does. He navigated the course, swept through the country with purpose and precision as if signing his name on the field. This earned him his 17th Championship title!
The culmination of these wins propelled National Ch Pure Confidence to be honored once again as the 2024 NBHA Purina National Open Shooting Dog of the Year, making it his 4th National Dog of the Year award in a row!!
Tango has had many achievements, but much of his greatness comes from his gracious owners having been a part of Team Indian Creek always cheering him on! Congratulations to Black Meadow Kennels (Ed Marron, John Bleeker, John Avanzato, and David DeVries) on another spectacular ride!
