CH Ard Righ Justina 2002-2011 – I am deeply saddened to announce that CH Ard Righ Justina (Tina) was run over and killed during the running of the Mississippi Championship at Whippoorwill Farms. Tina was a true all age prairie type dog with most of her winning done on the Canadian prairies. Tina finished 3rd in the Property Plains open all age in the fall of 05, the followed up with a win of the Manitoba Championship in the Fall of 05.

ITina won the Broomhill Open All Age in Fall of 06 qualifying her to run in the National Championship in 2007. Tina resumed her career in 2008 when she placed 3rd at the Prairie Amateur FTC and then she garnered another 3rd in the Benton County open all age in the fall of 2010. That win qualified Tina to run in the 2011 National Championship. Dave Breslin gave Tina to me and she instantly became a member of the family. She ran loose in the back yard and slept in the house. She was loved and will be missed.

NEWS! – CH Ard Righ Justina qualifies for the 112th running of the National Championship at Ames Platation.

In the history of the Manitoba Championship four female pointers have won the title: Mary Montrose (1919), Becky Broomhill (1921 and 1924), Mary Blue (1929), and Ard Righ Justina (2005).

Tina is a true prairie, all-age dog. She has the speed, stamina, and heart to handle the enormous landscape and oftentimes brutal heat and wind of the Canadian prairies. In the 2006 Dominion Championship Tina received honorable mention for two finds and running a huge race directly into the teeth of a 50 mph wind, when many dogs chose to go lateral.

Tina qualified for and competed in the 2007 National Championship at Grand Junction.

Recently, Blake, Bill and Tina won at Cedar Oak Plantation Prairie Amateur All Age in Holly Springs, Mississippi. 60 minute stakes. Survivor’s Little Bill took 1st and Ard Righ Justina took 3rd.
