John - "If anybody but God had a hand in planting the birds for the trial, I don't want anything to do with the trial." That is great! My sentiments exactly and I'd include training in that as well. I haven't bought a training bird in 5 or 6 years. The only plan I have when I go training, since I do...

Crosspoint - Yes, 100%, go do it. Mother nature will bring out the best in your dog. What man made concoction in "birddogdom" could possibly compare to the finding and handling of real birds?? Keith - Where were you this spring? Didn't see ya' at any of the dog games. I saw a pretty nice runnin' Lou...

Killdeer Plains AAA trial ???
My buddy just forwarded me a deal that said the NGSPA AAA championship at Killdeer Plains was terrible and thus declared a shooting dog championship with winners named...what the ??? I've never heard of such a thing - changing the stake to fit the performance?? Is this true? Say it ain't so... Doug ...

If you are an avid trialer Idaho is not a great choice. I've been to 3 trials this spring - Oregon SD Ch., Nat'l Chukar SD Ch., and NW Chukar SD. The closest was nearly 300 miles and the other two close to 600 miles. I also attended a "local" AKC trial...it was 500 plus miles in WA. (I've yet to fin...

Sounds like great fun Dennis - glad you got to go out and see some country and birds. I beelined it from Fishtrap to the NW Chukar Open SD championship at Milepost 9. My buddy and I had 3 entries in a whopping 12 dog championship stake and thought odds were in our favor to get a piece of it...not. S...

Sheesh Dennis - Didn't you notice it was raining buckets and gale winds were blowing our hats off? A really good club would have arranged better weather... Seriously, they are a bunch of genuinely nice folks just glad to have the excuse of running dogs to get everyone together for a great time. It w...

Doug, we are still breeding off of 2 dogs from the HOF cross between Beires Evolution x Aces Prima Banane. Rick got a bitch from Dewey Hicks before he died, Evolutions Bad Banane that we had a great litter with. We are breeding 2 litters this spring from dogs out of that cross. They are incredible ...

Man, those are all good dogs. I'm thinking pretty seriously of breeding my Trixie to Simon down the road but jury is still out on her. She's got great "bird dog" and physical ablilities but doesn't have that AA mentality and independance (thank goodness for me and my horses!)...more of a "Sunday aft...

My training partner heard from Richie yesterday and he was pretty happy with Tommy B's 4 find performance so there might be a little hope for you shag guys. Sounds like with the poor weather recently the birdfinding has gotten pretty tough so I Feel Free may have a tough go. In a trial that is typic...

"Doug, read the thread up until that point; we were talking AA dogs. " Oops! My bad then!! Thought you were just referencing AF trials in general. My attempted point was basically, that I've seen many of the dogs you guys were mentioning. They kick butt on my dogs and I'd like to see them out there ...

Read my above post and I sound like a darn field trialer. Should clarify that for me the pinnacle is a good hunting dog that can find birds day after day, staying sound day after day. If hunting season went year round I'd never go to a darned trial. Dave - if you get a chance, do a COI on my old Roc...

[quote="Dave Quindt"] "The other dog I'd add is Dunfur's Latest Edition, the only GSP alive to have won a FDSB pointer/setter championship. Hunter is quite possibly the bigest going dog we've got in the breed right now." I came across this website and somehow dug up this old topic and quote - hope I...
