Luke
Weaver for Field Trial Hall of Fame
Having worked in
sales for a number of years I understand the value of marketing
and
advertising. Also I know that sometimes we don’t ever know the
true
value of many products because they don’t have huge advertising
budgets. To me sometimes that is the case when looking at those
worthy
of the Field Trial Hall of Fame. Keep that in mind when
considering
Luke Weaver for the Field Trial Hall of Fame. You may not see
high
dollar ads, but let me assure you that Luke Weaver deserves to
be in
the Hall of Fame.
Luke was an
officer and mainstay in the Old Atlanta field trial club for
many
years. He also for many years was an officer in the Lee County
field trial club which has for many years been a National
Championship
qualifier. Luke has hosted many field trials on his farm in
Jackson
Georgia for All-age,shooting dog, walking trials, across all
breeds.
Luke has judged trials all over the US including many
championship
trials such as:
All
America Derby and All-Age in Canada

Canada

100’s
of one course trials across all breeds.
For many years Luke
has been a friend and patron to the George Moreland Family. Luke
had dogs with the late Mr. George and Bubba for many years. Some
of his most
notable are:
2X
CH Rowans
Gunsmoke
CH
Lady of Success
CH
Pink Cadillac
CH
Rednecked Woman
RU
CH My Bud Lite
RU
CH Bucknecked
Multiple
winner
, Pretty to Boot as
well as Buzzsaw’s Honky Tonk
Luke has also ran
many of his own Amateur dogs himself; His first win was Bazooka’s Fat
Back a fine Brittney that he had lots of fun with. His
dog with
the
most wins was a setter called Super
Tinker
Bell. His best puppy in his
words was Georgia Joy Rebel which
won
third in the Dixie
Puppy Classic.
Luke once told me his favorite dog of all was CH Rednecked Women
which I have heard many stories about from Bubba. Bubba
told me
that
“Rednecked Woman was special.
Most importantly Luke
has promoted our great sport to new comers. Luke is always
encouraging
others to get into the sport and always has something good to
say about
your dog.
I know the late Mr. George
would want to see Luke get his due by being elected to the Hall
of
Fame. I have had many a good time at Mr. Georges place hearing
him and
Luke take turns poking fun at each other always knowing that it
was
just an example of how much they loved each other. Win, loose or
draw
Luke was always in support of both Mr. George or Bubba as they
handled
his dogs.
We
have already see those such as John Rex Gates endorse Luke as I
am sure
many others will also.
Please join me in
supporting Luke Weaver for election to the Field Trial Hall of
Fame.
Not only does he surpass our “Yardstick”in every way, he is a
man of
great character that we can all be proud to support for the Hall
of
Fame.
