They are the base, the ones who turn up at trials with one or two dogs, while also contributing by volunteering, mentoring without recompense and doing their best to promote the sport.Tawney is one of the amateurs who not only shows up and contributes, she succeeds. She breeds her own dogs. She trains them. She competes with them. And she wins. At one of her early trials, a judge who did not know her, but was impressed after the first series, asked a pro who she was. That is Tawney Crawford, and when she shows up, we pay attention, he replied. While Tawney is one of the first to congratulate winners (and wish competitors good luck before running), she is in it to win it. Her determination shines through illness and injury. One example: She was diagnosed with cancer just before the 2013 National Cocker Championship Field Trial. That meant surgery just before the National and ongoing chemo during it. She did not place that weekend, but it was the first time at a National that she successfully completed all six series with FC/AFC Quailmoor Quite Right (“True”).She has also been key to the growth of field trialing English cockers in Washington state. She was there for the first English cocker field trial in the state and has continued ensuring trials have continued by working with a primarily conformation-oriented breed club to host annual trials.She offers her help to people honing skills for their own field trial cockers and to people just starting out on their field trialing journey.She puts the sport and the welfare of English cockers over herself, as she did when dealing with Acral Mutilation Syndrome by making others aware of it and working with the English Cocker Spaniel Club of America’s Health committee in spreading information on detecting it. I would like to close with a quote about Tawney from Jerry Cacchio’s “Flush” in the June/July 2019 Gundog magazine:“I am privileged too know that there are folks out there who so care for their dogs and the continued improvement of the flushing spaniels that they are willing to endure unimaginable struggles for just one more day in the field.”That is Tawney to a “T”.Hartwell S.

(Bucky) Moore was a leading contributor, participant and supporter of the Cocker National Championship Field Trials from their inception in 1953 to the last National held during the first generation in 1962. A 1956 Field & Stream Magazine article states that “the successful running of this year’s Cocker National was due to the unflagging perseverance of Henry Berol, Jim Greening, Hartwell (Bucky) Moore, Evelyn Monte & Dean Bedford”. Hartwell S. (Bucky) Moore was involved in hunting, field trialing and gunning over Cocker Spaniels since the late 1940’s. He was an early member of the Cocker Spaniel Field Trial Club of America and worked to support the club’s efforts to develop Spaniel Field Trials in the early days of field trialing. It should be noted that Bucky devotedly served the Cocker Spaniel Field Trial Club of America in almost every capacity. He was Club President, Club Director, Field Trial Chairman, Field Trial Gunner, Field Trialer and many more positions that were beneficial to the Club. Bucky even recruited his father Robert Moore to become a devoted member of the Cocker Spaniel Field Trial Club of America, serving as Field Trial Steward, Field Trial Committee Member and as a Field Trial Gunner. Bucky campaigned several successful dogs in field trials winning both Open and Amateur local events as well as Open and Amateur National events. He was a well-known spaniel field trial judge, judging both Cocker & Springer Nationals as well as many local trials. Bucky was a true believer in the idea that a great field trial dog should be a great hunting companion. He and his best friend Peter Garvan (Cocker Hall of Fame Inductee) would take their Field Trial Champion dogs on many hunting trips for grouse and woodcock in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains as well as pheasants on Long Island. Bucky was an avid field trialer, judge and gunner traveling with his dogs to trials across the eastern and mid-western region. Bucky represents a true amateur who succeeded in the Field Trial world while competing against a collection of the country’s wealthiest people who had huge kennels full of dogs, professional handlers and kennel managers. He was also highly respected as a judge, gunner and competitor and was part of a driving force behind the Cocker Field Trials and Nationals in the late 1940’s 1950’s and 1960’s.Besides hunting and field trialing Bucky was also an avid sailor and yacht racer. He won the Commodore Curry Cup in 1961 and 1967 with his sailboat the Mavoureen IV. He was a charter member of the Star Fleet Yacht Racing Club in Long Island NY.FC AC CFC Ballymena Lucky Shamrock MH “Cassie”(English Cocker Spaniel)Accomplishments:Active field trial career: 2006 – 2014Total field trial Points – 107 (92 US points and 15 Canada points)Field Champion – 2007Amateur Field Champion – 2011Canadian Field Champion – 2012Master Hunter – 2012NCC 2008 – 2nd PlaceNCC 2007 – 3rd PlaceNCC Certificate of Merit – 2012NCC Completions – 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012Number of Field Trial Placements:1st – 92nd – 113rd – 84th – 8Guns – 4From Cassie’s nomination:Cassie was a very dominate dog in her career – very consistent both at Nationals and in regular trials.

She was the 1953 National Champion and the 1954 National Runner up and was in the final series of the Nationals several other years, including finishing the 1953 National while being lame from recent rabies shot. She had 18 Field Trial placements including 5 wins. Accumulating 18 placements in an era where there was a very limited amount of trials in quite impressive. She also won a Reserve Winner award at a confirmation dog show. Several newspaper and journal articles were published about her, reporting on her success and her dominance in the field. A newspaper article from 1956 stated she was “A beautiful mover, hard driving & very positive with polished manners on her game” ................
