Highest Scoring Dog in National Specialty Obedience Trial
Naia and Larry Libeu offer the Booser Memorial Challenge Trophy, a silver champagne bucket on a walnut base. This trophy will be awarded to the English Springer Spaniel that wins High In Trial at the ESSFTA National Bench Specialty and Obedience Trial. For permanent possession, the trophy must be won three times by the same owner, not necessarily with the same dog. In 1999 the trophy was re-donated by Alvin and Audrey Eng when their dogs Ardee’s Field of Dreams CD won the National in 1995 and OTCH Gold Mountain’s Moonlighting UDX won the National in 1998 and 1999. In 2013, Jon Pidde retired the Booser Memorial Challenge Trophy when his dog Benson, OTCH BENSON MCGEE UDX9 OGM SH MX MXJ RE WDX, won the National in 2009, 2011, and 2013. Mr. Pidde plans to re-donate the trophy.
