Congratulations! I'm still trying to work on my first placement. My dog is getting into it's 3rd trial in two weeks in Indiana.

Copper Nickel is a many time champion stud Pointer. The female is out of Elhew bloodlines which is also a very highly sought after champion bloodline.

Still a nice show, congratulations! Hope the dogs pads mend well. I'm going to start running my GSP in the Fall. I'm hoping to get a Copper Nickel English Pointer this summer as well. The list is a little long though. Maybe I'll run into you in the Fall. You didn't run Stephan's Star dog...

Rock, How did you do at regional? It was pretty hot for the dogs to be out working that much.

Looking for a 2 unit on one remote system. Thanks for any replies.

Where is the dog on: Here, Heel, and Whoa. I always recommend fully breaking on a dog in these areas before putting any birds down.

Thanks Troy! I may reach out to you from time to time asking for help with work plans I will need to submit. I'm hoping in the near future (hopefully next season '17) to get some food plots established. I agree with prior comments. Always time to complain about lack of game but crickets...

Uplandhntr Please PM your contact info. We have 4 committed folks that would be willing to work your suggested property and we have a 5th that I will hear back from on today. I'm going to submit the completed app this week and then get back in touch with everyone on next steps and try to...

Awesome! I'm looking to start the first year with just 5 or 6 people. I'm sure we will all have a lot to learn. After we get a handle on it then I think we can expand the group. The DNR will provide some training to ensure we are prepared to take on the task and help with some equipment...

I am in the process of adopting a wildlife area and looking to see if anyone is interested in participating. Typical involvement of time to keep area clean, reposting of signage and other basic maintenance would be involved. If your interested please reach out and based on the geographic area...

I know that some of the AKC trials are run on private ground on wild birds. I saw some footage on YouTube out on the east coast on Wild Grouse.

One of the biggest differences is that judges have less influence with NSTRA than AKC. At NSTRA typically the dog that finds the most birds wins. With AKC trials the judges have a lot more influence on who they decide to receive first.

Just out of curiosity which club was in Wisconsin? I just joined a club and they started doing something similar and they have had broods as well.

Go on YouTube and search Lily Lo. Look at those training videos, they are great. They cover the Gibbons/West training methods.

The guy I get quail from said it would be sometime in the back half of May when he would start having birds. That leaves about 6ish weeks of down time without birds which is good for the dog and allows you to go back and reinforce any yard or retrieving work if needed.
