We’re so proud of Ch. White Powder Pete. He put on a heck of a good show at the 2011 National Championship on Thursday afternoon! Pete had three excellent dug up finds and ran a great race for the time he was down. Colvin elected to pick him at about 90 minutes when he saw that his shoulder started bothering him. Pete was injured during his bid at the National Championship last year, incurring a small bone chip. This was his 7th time competing at the National! Thanks to our friend, William Smith for scouting Pete.

Pete is owned by Mr. Bert Wimmer of Rockville, Indiana. His son-in-law, Doug Burgess, also from Rockville, made the trip east to Tennessee to watch Pete compete in his last field trial. He will be ten in May. The Wimmer family decided to retire Pete after eight and a half years of competition. We were so pleased Doug got to see him do such a wonderful job!

The Wimmers have graciously allowed us to keep Pete here with us. We are very grateful to them as we are very fond of him.
