This was a very busy weekend, with Kamar Beezers taking part in a six lure coursing trial marathon over the course of four days. We had both ASFA and AKC Specialties with amazing prizes. There were Kamar representatives from almost every litter, and every one of them left with something special.

Some of the notable achievements included Deckard winning BOB during the ASFA Specialty, as well as winning the Bench Stake and the Breeder Stake with his sister, Kelia. Niko won the Performance Stake and the Kennel Stake and also finished his ASFA Field Championship.

For the AKC Specialty, Niko won open for his final major to earn his AKC Field Championship and Dual Championship titles, making him Kenzie's 11th DC offspring, and the 6th from his litter.  He also won the Performance Stake and was overall high scoring male Ibizan for the combined trials and Kelia was the overall high scoring female Ibizan for the combined trials. In addition, Dean and Sol won the Breeder Stake.

Dean also won his second coursing major during the morning trial and is now one point from finishing his AKC Field Championship title. Kona also added multiple points this weekend, putting her closer to her title as well.

Points in ASFA and/or AKC were earned by Kamar Beezers: Sol, Niko, Dean, Kona, Aiden, Deckard, Kelia, Rowan and Jasper. The "Iron Beezer" award was given to dog who ran in every trial. Due to the hard, sandy ground and grueling number of trials, this was a pretty coveted prize. It was won by Kona, Rowan, Aiden and Dean.

Deckard and Kelia are from the 2012 XXX Litter.
Niko is from the 2013 Grand Finale Litter.
Sol is from the 2015 Kiss Litter.
Aiden and Jasper are from the 2014 Red Litter.
