FC Broadreach Pebble MH

1996 National Open Championship, Ardmore,  OK

Pebble was bred and owned by Buddy and Martha Lee Voshell. She was a big, good looking bitch. She wasn’t flashy but she was a good marker and she went well at trails. However, she just wouldn’t apply herself in training. Because of her training attitude, I wasn’t sure about her future as a trial dog but Mrs. Voshell believed in her so we kept trying.  Finally, I had just about convinced Mrs. Voshell that she should retire her, when Pebble won a tough Open at Blue Ridge Retriever Club.

When I called to share the good news Mrs. Voshell was delighted. She listened to my description of the highlights of each series and Pebble’s work. When I’d finished, Martha Lee asked politely “Well Pat, do you think maybe we ought to leave her in training for a few more weeks now?”

Pebble did stay in training and won the Open at Ocean city that fall finishing her title. Mrs. Voshell handled Pebble to her MH. Pebble produced several MH offspring, many fine shooting dogs, and one OTCH that is a top obedience dog.
