Entry Questionnaire
Owner Name: Cameron & Nina Johnson
Dog Full Name: C&N’s Queen of the Teche
When did you begin competing in Field Trials?
I ran my first field trial in 2019 after being introduced to the sport by Dr. Doreen Comrie (fun fact, she introduced Cam and I too!).
What made you decide to compete in Field Trials?
My competitive spirit, love of the outdoors, and these athletic dogs drew me into the field trial game.
Who are your training partners at home?
We have a great training group at home including Jim Sullivan, Kurt Dunn, Fred Lehnertz, Kevin Greenhoe, & Rick Aro. We were fortunate to have Rod Sage as a key member of our training group as well over the years and he will be greatly missed.
What is the origin of your dog’s name?
“Ibe” and her littermates were born in New Iberia, Louisiana. We wanted to pay tribute to their start and New Iberia is known as the Queen City of the Teche…. So she became “Queen of the Teche” and her call name is short for Iberia!
Tell us an interesting story or fact about your dog.
She has two brothers running the National Derby with her… good luck brothers!
