Chris also competes in the Bird Dog Challenge Series, he started in September of 2008 and in March of 2009 he and Duece placed 4th overall in the amateur division, Chris's second dog Ajax just won his first amateur title on March 21, 2009 at the Beulah Ridge Invitational. Both Ajax and Duece will be competing in the upcoming year. The whole family hunts, and youth hunts around the Riddle house in the early years were a real treat. Everyone including the Maltese dog Chase joined in on the hunts. Chris has spent the last 9 years breeding and training dogs on his own and now enjoys doing this as a full time job. He knows with out the help of his Faith, Family, and the Friendships that he has come to develop that his dream come true would not have been possible.
