Chance of snow on sunday but only maybe an inch or so, fri and sat basically just cold with highs in the teens. I would assume most of the participants are already there or will be there sometime today as it starts tomorrow so no turning back now.

Hunter

Its going to be tough on all but especially the judges as they are the only ones that have to ride every brace. My guess is it will be a pretty small gallery watching each brace and thats a shame as this type of event with the caliber of dogs should be fun to watch. The cold air is one thing that yo...

Hunter

I hope everyone brings warm cloths as the highs towards the end of the week are only supposed to be in the low to mid twenties and lows in the single digits, but that's the upper Midwest for ya. Good luck to all.

Hunter

Yes like Brooks said it is the same Allie, this year was her first real season on the trial circuit and with BDK as it turned out to be a pretty good one with a couple 4 and 5 point major wins and placements. I never ran her as a puppy derby in any trials so she was kinda late getting on the circuit...

Hunter

Congrats, two years in a row wow. I believe my dog Allie will be seeing Trey this next yr at some point.

Hunter

Congrats to all, who are the owners of all these dogs as I know a few.

Hunter

Congrats to all the winners, that's two in a row for Brooks and BDK in the All AGE. Are they starting the gun dog today or tomorrow ?

Hunter

Nice job to both you and your dog, ya always remember that first trial, that first time running a dog off horseback but most importantly that first win.

Hunter

A sixty dog stake win, I guess if I had to I'd take that win. He seems to be coming on strong at the right time. Congrats

Hunter

Erin's Braveheart X Elite Elhew Lexus, looking forward to watching him develop but off to a good start. Yes I still have shorthairs and a pretty good one who will be running in the nationals next week in Eureka Ks.

Hunter

After having shorthairs all my life and trialing my buddy got me my first English pointer (CLK'S FIRST EDITION), I think I'm hooked after taking him to a trial in Wisc and winning the open derby at 7 mo of age. He is an Erins Braveheart son and a good one at that. I just may have to get another ray ...

Allie wins the GSPC of Nebraska OLGD with 45 plus dogs for her second major this year in only her first full trial season. Handled and trained by Blue Dawn Kennels, thanks Keith and Robbi.

Hunter

This trial every year is probably the toughest weekend trial in the country to get a placement with all the Pros and number of quality dogs competing. Any placement in this trial is well earned with some stakes as big as 40 to 60 dogs competing in each as I don't think thier was any stake less than ...

Open Limited GunDog winner ( CLKs POINT ME THE WAY ) GSP F Owner Jerry Alden , Handler Keith Gulledge 47 dogs in stake My aviator dog Open Gun Dog winner ( Rocky Ridges Signature Style ) GSP M Owner Deb/Sean Hauser, Handler Keith Gulledge 60 dogs in stake Big number of entries as I saw on the runnin...

Hunter

Do you have a running order ? Thats a nice championship with 52 dogs in the open.

Hunter

I used to feed it and it was at a great price but my dogs seem to do better on pro plan performance for hunting and trial seasons.

Hunter

Call Don Allen ( owner of Black Gold ) and ask him about a supplier in your area or perhaps being one if there isnt any close. He is a great old guy to talk dogs. Phone number is 573-422-3626 or 573-619-5326, he gave me his card at sports show a few years ago.

Hunter

Congrats Brooks on the placements, my dog CLKs Point Me The Way ( Allie) won the limited gun dog and took RU in the open gun dog at the weekend trial, she's starting to really come on going into summer camp.

Hunter

Are those just the dogs that are entered, not the running order ?

Hunter

That's what I would do, run the orange and white pups in some trials, thats really going to help the breed. Im sure you will get a ton of placements from allot of judges. If you want to do the right thing, have them fixed and give them to some young kids that are learning to hunt and want a hunting ...

Hunter

I questioned the exact same thing before all test reports were back from where ever they were sent.

Hunter

Congrats to the winner, their will be other Invitational winners in the future but none can claim the first. As for the video and the judging, that should be and for the most part is the norm for all judges who have been around awhile. The handler was having trouble locating or flushing the bird the...

GSP Field Trialers Question Postby ElhewPointer » Wed Oct 24, 2012 9:05 am Just wondering what the GSP people's opinion is on a question I have. Do you put more of an emphisis on winning the AKC AA National at Eureka or the NGSPA AA National at Booneville? Would you rather win a FC in AKC or a Champ...

Hunter

Just heard from someone out there that Dennis Brath won the AA with Stacy not sure on the runner up.

Hunter

Heard from someone that is out there that their were 18 in the AA but havent heard what the placements were.

Hunter

So let me get this straight according to HI-TALYN they will be looking for a dog of endurance the first two days and anything can happen but yet they wont be picked up as long as they make the hr run. And on the 3rd day they must be dead broke like any other akc or NGSPA trial to be considered a cha...

Hunter

I thought I read on the NGSPA website that the 3rd and final day the dogs called back to the finals, the brace would not exceed 1 hr but you stated a couple time the third day it is 1 1/2 hrs for those called back. I also see that you have 7 dogs committed so far 3 of witch are owned by the same per...

Hunter

How could you bring as many as needed for the prize, I thought you had to be invited or the next dog with the highest points. Good point Brooks and congrats on the AA championship in Eureka, your probably wishing your dog could take a shot at the $5000 purse. Sometimes I think people forget how hard...

Hunter

My only suggestion other than whats above is take care of your judges during the trial, to many times they ride hard all day and people forget to bring them a drink or snack thruought the day. If you take care of them they will take care of you and you will probably get them back again if you need t...

Hunter

When you say we decided, who is we, who is actually the president and VP and chairman of this event as well as the comittee that will be determining who gets the invite to come.

Hunter

It sounds like to me you are trying to make this a English pointer trial as you keep referring to pointers and how you and they do it in some of your posts, last I heard this was supposed to be an ngspa ( German shorthair Pointers ) invitational. Why would you not include amt shooting dog points, a ...

Hunter

Looking at the current NGSPA point leaders( last updated version on ngspa website anyway ) their seems to be allot of dogs tied in points, are you also considering Amt Shooting dog points. Or what about the dog who has points in both AA and shooting dog stakes or for that matter points in all three ...

Hunter

I would think thier would be a better time for this event, December in Iowa or just south of the border can be bitter cold at that time with last year being an exception. I would think you may want better weather conditions for such an event if you want people to come out and support it. Don't get m...

Hunter

How far were they on the AA did they say.

Hunter

I was thinking it was the AA and the gun dog was last to run.

Hunter

Any word on where they are with the futurity and when the AA might start.

Hunter

Who was the littermate to the Dam you couldnt keep in close as I owned the dam you speak of when I bred the litter. I also own a littermate brother to her that is an AA dog. I was trying to find out where they all were or who else had one as I got both of mine from Gulledges when they were pups.

Hunter

I dont think their is one stud dog out there that would fit all the charactoristics you are looking for. Everyone is looking for something different, Run, style, stamina, hunting ability, show, you name it. You breed for what your looking for and hopefully it is to better the breed in any venue that...

Hunter

Any results from the championship out in Michigan ?

Hunter

Did you mean the braces are posted or just the running order of the stakes?

Hunter

Where, I didnt see it, just the premiums for entries.

Hunter

You mean like this one. It was a pointer but I cut the tale down for a shorthair. I know someone who can get them for about $ 225. Now I just need to get it painted.

Hunter

We have done the public hunting grounds before in SD, was just looking for more private stuff that doesnt get pounded everyday of the week. I have every SD hunting map thier is as thats how we found public ground to hunt in the past, we will still do that but also wanted to find a piece of private a...

Hunter

We are really just looking for some ground to hunt and work dogs. I checked with the one above and it was $ 400 per gun per day without lodging or guide service. heck I dont care if we shoot any I just want to work birds with the dogs for some extra training on the young ones. Most of these places i...

Hunter

Does anyone know of a good guide or lodge to hunt at in SD that wont break the bank. We are just looking for a place for two or three guys for 3 or 4 days of hunting. We have our own dogs and just want to find some place to hunt. I dont mind paying to hunt but most these lodges are like 4 to 5 hundr...

Hunter

I guess they were all sold

Hunter

Does anyone know or remember a post about a guy who was building websites for kennels, he had mostly coon hound sites listed but did have some bird dog ones. It has bee quite a while ago as he had prices and everything to build your site. Im not looking for anything great just something small to hel...

Hunter

Please add ( PZAZZ 26 - 18) Active dog formula

Hunter

Any news what the placements were at the Hawkeye championship last week or the weekend trial over the weekend.

Hunter

This is style to me, high head and high tale. Nothing prettier than to find this on birds. By the way these are littermates.
