A new GSP club is now forming in KY. Hopes are for training days, hunts, clay shoots, AKC/AF field trials (possibly some other types types of trials too?), Hunt Tests, Shows and anything else anyone would like to try (focus of the group will be on having fun!). Should be something for everyone. Also...

SFK

I think of it as the "future" of the breed hence the name futurity. As Ray has said, they are breeder stakes where breeders can showcase what they feel are the best litters they have produced.

SFK

Been awhile since I've been on GDF so sorry if this is took late for ya..

Yes, it is suitable for hr course. All the times I have run there it is a continuous course.

SFK

Yep Justin - you basically said it in your prior post - all about trusting the dog and if you don't trust em don't let them go. One thing I forgot - you need to evaluate to the dog to make sure it is ready to be broke. Each dog hits that point at a different age. I have two from this litter that are...

SFK

Know you and I talked Cheryl and I gave you the "secret recipe", but for the benifit of everyone else - high level - Summed up one thing - they "earn the right to run" and I live by that statment. If they're not honest then then real them in until they get it right. Slowly let them range as they con...

SFK · Re: 2/17-2/19 Weim Club of TN Valley Trial- LaVernge, TN I'll be there.

I'll be there.

SFK

I, of course will be there. Going to be running mostly young dogs (chasing those rare Am juv pts!) and a first time appearance from my Top Secret Vizsla project 8)! We have 96 entries over two days and I will be running around like a chicken with my head chopped off! So glad we are running puppies o...

SFK

Congrats! 007 trained by Jesse Chapman? If it's the dog I'm thinking about - real nice dog!

SFK

Congrats to all winning and R/U dogs, handlers and owners!

SFK

NGSPA Reg 5 is before (although I am hearing rumors it may not happen this year because of overlap with NGSPA nats, we'll see) and a weekend trial inbetween. Looks like they have it all under the same name schedule wise.

SFK

Usually around the 3rd week in March. My best guess would be March 19-23.

The Kentuckiana Pointing Breed Assoication will be having their Fall Field Tria Nov 19 & 20.

Congrats to all owners, handlers and dogs that placed!

SFK

Big Congrats to the Messers and Chris. Opal is a really nice dog and the buzz was going right after her run.

Also - congratulations to all other owners and handlers of dogs that placed!

SFK

Don't know results but heard AA starting tomorrow (Heading out tonight). Guessing Futurity results coming tonight....

SFK

Yes, it sounds like she is hooked. Trying to keep her from diving in too deep too quick though! Bruce - thanks for all your help answering her questions on they other fourm she is on. Really nice for her to have various outlets to ask questions to and form her own style and direction for Cooper. And...

SFK

Very nice! Congrats!

SFK

Well this is probablly the best brag I could have as a breeder... Cheryl Knight has a male out of my Vegas x Kix litter. She has had dogs in obedience and other arenas but is new to GSPs and field dogs in general. She has been doing the right things, getting with a group of folks who have had pointi...

SFK

We are wanting more of the NBHA So does that mean clubs running walking fdsb and akc tails shouldn't attended? Just want clarification if it would be worth our time. Although who knows if someone wants to run a nbha trial the club may want to put that format on too... just have done walking akc in ...

SFK

ASD -

Winner - Vegas - O - Wendy Phelps & Art Terstage H - Art Terstage
R/U - Jackie - O - Fred Ryan H - Fred Ryan

SFK

I will be there along with another guy. We will be representing two clubs that have been hosting walking trials in KY for the past few years. Hopefully it will be more than NBHA as both clubs have been running AKC trials and we are going to dual sanction with AF this coming fall. If you're only inte...

SFK

Why just watch? Run a dog while your there! Is it open to anyone? or is it for dogs that have won a stake? Hmmm, could be fun, can I run a pup? Open to all registered German Shorthaired Pointers that have placed in a three point or greater Open Gun Dog or Amateur Gun Dog stake while being handled b...

SFK

Why just watch? Run a dog while your there!

SFK

Thanks Ted! I'm very happy the litter. Yes, Dee will be on Dan's string. He and April have helped me out with her so much while I moved and got into my new job. I've watch alot of pro's over the years. Dan is straight up honest with me. When he ran her at the sharptail, he told me she was chasing tw...

SFK

Sorry folks but I have been very busy with moving and all. The pups have been doing VERY well since I last posted. After coming back being out west with Dan D. of monkeyshine kennels, Dee and Holly took to the field and won the Am Derby at the Kentukiana All breed point club trial (12 dog stake) in ...

SFK

Finally got some time to get some personnal computer work done! As promised a pic of Dee standing a bird... Taken last month at Thanksgiving. She was 15 months old at the time...

SFK

Rumor has it that Goegan won the AA with Kane and took R/U with Dixe. Gratz to all owners/handlers who took placements! Molly (Good Time One Shot Wonder), The winner of the ASD, is owned by a good friend of mine. I am sure will be seeing more of Molly as she isn't even 3 yet and is already a heck of...

SFK

Figured I'd put an update up. The pups are about 14 months now and doing VERY well. So far in the trial season - Amanda Eick-Miller has started to get into field trialing and has been getting placements in both Open and Am puppy with her pup Sunny Fields Brego of Beor (Brego). I think the highlight ...

SFK

John - speaking on NGSPA championship qualifications. What are they? I never can seem to get a straight answer. Or does it depend on the CH?

SFK

Congratulations to all winners/runner ups, owners and handlers!

SFK

Nice! Congrats to all!

SFK

I have a brand new Heskett saddle I might part with. I oiled it up but have never used it - it's an extra and since I am not using it now and I have been thinking about selling it since it is just sitting there. PM me if interested.

SFK

Rob - I plan on being up there for the entire trial - look me up.

It is a really fun trial. Crazy senes like a dog working a line and a saiboat going by in the background.

...And you eat like a king...

SFK

They have Open Derby, Am Shooting Dog, Open Shooting Dog, and Open All Age, Past few years they have started on Friday with the Open Derby followed by the ASD, OAA, OSD. It is followed by a Regional (region 2?) that has OD and OSD. Because of how dates fall, I am not sure if it will start on the fir...

I'll help ya out.

Looking to relocate in the Louisville area in the next few months and will looking for new hunting buddies.

I just found out we have another pup from the litter in the puppy points: Ellington's Blazing B aka Bruno was handled by his owner, Paul Castanzo, at the Hudson Valley GSP trial in Am Puppy the first weekend in June. Bruno won it for two points and is now pointed out in Am Puppy! Bruno was 10 months...

From AF website: Derby Stakes: From July 1 to December 31 of each year for dogs whelped on or after January 1 of the year preceding, and from January 1 to June 30 of each year for dogs whelped on or after January 1 of two years preceding. So the Chukar starts on Aug 27, 2010. Lets say I have a pup b...

SFK

She sure is! It is difficult to explain how much I like this litter. That pic of Nia shows it a bit. The 7 pups I have seen in the field look like that.

I need to have Troy take some shots of Dee in the field for me...Dee points with that same high head.

SFK

From what I understand it is true that AKC rules take precidence but if your dog wins the derby and it is outside of the AF derby age, the win will count for AKC but not for AF.

Maybe I am wrong...

SFK

Congrats! Think this is one of the top brags on this forum!

Please thank your son for his excellent service!

SFK

Introducing Siern's Song Athena - most know her as Nia -

Pointed out Am Puppy 8 mo
Pointed out Open Puppy 9 mo
Owned by Troy Hodulik - all points put on by Troy
First Puppy placement at 7 mo

SFK

Kyle - Thanks. I've been lucky enough to be blessed with some really nice dogs. So far it appears that I have been blessed again with Dee and the rest of this litter.

Vegas will be bred her next cycle. Sometime in Nov.

SFK

Gratz Ann - from what I hear he ripped it up!

SFK

Ann - Thanks and it was great seeing you too! Been a long time.

Bruce - pleasure was mine. Wish we had more time to shoot the bull. Next time. Nice pups BTW.

SFK

Yep - that's the way I do it. Get 'em pointed and get 'em out. Way too many bad habits that can develop if they stay in the puppy/derby classes too long IMO.

SFK

Introducing Sunny Fields Aphroditie Beta or as most know her - Dee: http://www.sunnyfieldskennel.com/images/dee9mo.jpg Pointed out in Open Puppy at 7 mo old. Pointed out in Open Derby at 9 mo old.

Bossman- I'll try to get some up in the next week or so. With all the trialing and stuff I just haven't had time and taking pics always seems to be the last thing on my mind. I'll also email the owners of the dogs I haven't see recently so we can get their pics up also... I don't think Holly will ev...

SFK

Good deal Brenda! Sam's a good one!

SFK

Boy would I love to have this litter turn out to be like that one Jerry! This weekend I sent my pup Dee with my better half - Holly Hatfield to be run in Am puppy. They were up in Highland, MI while I had to judge in PA. Not to disappoint they won the thing for 1 pt. 7 dog stake so they missed the 2...

I think there is a walking trial at Pike County Bird Hunters Club in the works just before Thanksgiving. Usually there are two club and they make it a 4 day event. Don't know how far that is from you. Believe they are in Petersburg, IN. There are also rumors flying around that a new Vizsula club is ...
