Background
Ashley began hunting in his early childhood with his father and grandfather. At 15, he started competing in the United Kennel Club (UKC) and Professional Kennel Club (PKC) hunting associations. Ashley has achieved numerous titles in his hunting career, including four Final Four titles in the Super Stakes Championship since 2001: one 1st place, two 2nd places, and one 3rd place. In 2002, he was crowned Pup ShootOut Champion and Senior Handler ShootOut Champion with Tequila Sunrise, earning him two brand new Dodge 4x4 pickup trucks. Ashley is ranked 13th as the all-time money handler with PKC, having amassed over $126,000 in lifetime earnings from PKC events. Platinum Champion, Grand Nite Champion Tequila Sunrise and Gold Champion, Grand Nite Champion Harry Bawls are currently available for stud with the Hopkins family.
Ashley is an avid hunter and trainer, but when he isn't in the woods competing or training, he enjoys spending time with his family. Ashley and his wife live outside Murfreesboro, Tennessee in the Lascassas area. Their two daughters, 9-year-old Allie and 5-year-old Anslie, very much enjoy spending time in the woods with their dad.
