Shamrock Acres Super Value (Chief) was born January 31, 1968 in a litter bred by Sally<br>McCarthy. Jim Heneghan recalls him being bought by a man in Medford, Oregon as a<br>puppy. Ed Minoggie saw him and bought him for Mrs. William Roth, she had other dogs in<br>training with Ed, as did J.J. Heneghan. In 1970, Mrs. Roth decide she wanted out of dogs.<br>Minoggie was asked to find buyers for her dogs and called Heneghan, telling him Chief<br>was for sale. Minoggie also told him Chief was the best dog on his truck.<br>Chief won his first Open in the Spring of 1971 at the Idaho trial and two weeks later he<br>won the Tacoma trial. Louise and Auggie Belmont were also at that trial and Auggie told<br>Jim Heneghan that Chief was the first pup out of Super Chief to finish his title. Chief ran<br>in six Nationals, was a Finalist in 1977 at the Wellden, North Carolina National and he<br>went 11 series of the famous 12 series Tallahassee National.<br>In 1978 his back legs were getting very weak and he was to lead a life of leisure at the<br>Minoggie kennel. A pit bull got loose and tore up Chief’s back end very badly to the point<br>where Ed had to have put down in the spring of 1979. Chief garnered 118 Open points,<br>Jim ran him in several trials but never had an opportunity to work him much since he was<br>with Minoggie in Portland and Jim in Alaska couldn’t train together very often. Working<br>Chief cold off the truck without getting them the opportunity to fine-tune their handling<br>did not work well, but Jim did get an Amateur win with him and a couple other places<br>giving him a total 6.5 Amateur points. |
