Being the premier stake for the Amateur Shooting Dog usually brings

a huge field of competitors to vie for this title.

It was launched in 1952 and maintained a high level of popularity

over the span of years.

With the usual level of entries a dog will earn an invitation

to the National Amateur Shooting Dog Invitational on this win alone.

The stake has traveled, at one time or another, to nearly every state

in the Southeastern US.
