American Chesapeake Club National Field Trial Specialty Davis Ranch, Cascade, Idaho September 11-13, 2012   Please join us in Idaho - run the Specialty and two All-Breed trials, and see some of Idaho's beautiful scenic and recreation areas. If you don't have a dog to run then join us just to watch and have a good time. Cascade, ID is 75 miles north of Boise. The Specialty will be held at the beautiful Davis Ranch just two miles from the town of Cascade.  This is a working cattle ranch that has previously been the site of two ACC Specialty Trials and the ranch also hosted a National Amateur. We are very grateful to the Davis family for allowing us access once again.   Very few events are ever held  at this site. Cascade and McCall are year-round recreation areas , very scenic and offer lots to do.

~ DEDICATIONS ~
We dedicate this 2012 Specialty to the memories of Dr. John C. Lundy and Maggie D. Hoagland - gone but not forgotten.

Dr. John C. Lundy   1918 - 2011    John got his first Chesapeake at age 11 - from a country doctor right here in Cascade, ID! Later on, John became very good friends with Tom and Gemima Davis which resulted in this our third Specialty on this lovely ranch. We know John as the owner/breeder/trainer of many fine Chesapeakes and a long-time member of ACC and two-time President. Equally important was the support and encouragement that John gave to so many over the years - especially if they ran a brown dog. It is especially fitting that while we have our Specialty here at Davis Ranch we will also award trophies that are each a bit of ACC and/or John Lundy history. And John will be watching and rooting us all on....

Maggie D. Hoagland   1948 - 2011   "Maggie"  -  a rare intellect, a dry humor with sharp wit and (sometimes) tongue, a generous spirit, a true Chesapeake enthusiast, a good friend.  Maggie devoted a great amount of energy to our breed. She successfully bred, raised and trained several dogs for conformation and field competition. She gave the breed her "all". Those of us lucky to be in her circle of friends will always remember the shared laughter and tears.  A friend of dog and man.... never to be forgotten....
