It is with humility and some shame that I post this afternoon, acknowledging my failure to faithfully execute the duties of my position as Field Trial Chair/Secretary of N.B.O.G.C.A.

At our Spring Trial at the end of April, English Setter Dun Roven's Hippie Girl put down a very fine performance in the Open Derby, stylishly pointing a grouse to take first place in the 21 dog stake.
Although results were quickly posted on this board, yours truly was remiss, and Essential Data Forms were submitted to the Cover Dog Points Chair 5 days late. This grave error on my part cost her the Cover Derby Dog of the Year award.
Understanding that there is no way I can make this right, and with all due respect to the Cover dog Points Committee, I nonetheless accept full responsibility for this unfortunate outcome and offer my most sincere apologies to both owner Chal Curtis, and professional handler Rich Hollister for dropping the ball mishandling this matter.
It is my understanding that the Cover Dog Points Committee will be reviewing the by-laws to ensure this does not occur going forward.
That being said, I extend my hearty congratulations to all Cover Dog Award winners and deeply apologize to the entire Field Trial Community.
