The Billy Ring Classic

Congratulations goes out to Kenny and Mitchell Armstrong on their win at the inaugural "Billy Ring Classic" field trial hosted by the Bama Bird Dog Club in Lincoln, Alabama, November 12th and 13th, 2016.

Kenny and Jack bested a field of 35 other handler / dog teams from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky over the course of the two day trial. And how fitting it was to have one of Billy's former dogs, Hank, handled by Brett Biel in contention for the win!

Top Three Placements:

1st Place - Kenny Armstrong / Jack
2nd Place - Kenny Daugherty / Moose
3rd Place - Brett Biel / Hank

Thanks to all those who were able to come out and participate in tribute to one of our favorite handlers and competitors who was taken from us all too young late last year.

Rest in Peace Billy Ring
