"Sam is waiting"...
Pacolet Cheyenne Sam's urn & ashes were placed under the BRITTANY MONUMENT at the NATIONAL BIRD DOG MUSEUM in Grand Junction, TN.

In 1964 TIGAR'S JOCKO became the first Brittany to win a major pointer-setter trial... the PHEASANT SHOOTING DOG CHAMPIONSHIP in California, owned and handled by John Munson. After eleven years John repurposed the Trophy to the DERBY CHAMPIONSHIP (A National Qualifying Stake) held by the PACIFIC COAST CHAMPIONSHIPS... which are held annually in Sunnyside, Washington. The PACIFIC COAST CHAMPIONSHIP is the second oldest Championship in the United States... first run in 1899. Jocko's Trophy has now been retired and is on display with its multiple/signed Traveling Case in the BRITTANY WING of the NATIONAL BIRD DOG MUSEUM in Grand Junction, TN.

Thank you... Jim Leverich #1

A poem by Dicie Speck after the 1971 National Championship and the 1973 International Endurance Championship..

Last task in to replace this temporary plaque with additional Patrons Names on a Permanent Bronze Plaque.

It all started in 1964 when Johnny Munson and Jocko (from the West Coast) won the National Amateur Championship in Carbondale, Il.
