Southern Michigan opened with 6 13" Males under Judges, Jim Garard and Mike Heminger which ran to completion and 10 15" Males under Judges, Marty Parker and Steve Redmon on a hot and humid summer day for the last day of summer.  The 15" Males were run to completion and then everyone had lunch.  We closed with 20 13" Females under Judges, Jim Garard and Mike Heminger and 24 15" Females, under Judges, Marty Parker and Steve Redmon for a total of 60 hounds on another hot and humid day of summer. We really appreciate them making the drive and doing our trial.  THANK YOU EVERYONE Who Came and Helped make our trial a success.
