t the PKC Spring Classic in Bucyrus, his White Trash hound has captured first place in the PKC Michigan State Championship, netting another $700 or so in the process.

White Trash scored 325 on two coon in the early round to make the finals where he met Larry Smith’s Rover, another Whitey pup, and Al Gibson’s Blue Boy Slim, an English male.
