New Field Trial Club NE KS

[topher40]

I know that a few of you on here are close to me so I am asking for your help in getting a new Field Trial Club off the ground. I will warn you that it is thankless, u npaid, and extremely gratifying position! I am looking for help this summer to get the grounds ready, i.e. putting in gates, clearing timber, making crossings, and running dogs to map courses. I am wanting to get grounds ready for next fall for the Brown County FTC's inauguration to the field trial world. If anyone int eh immediate area would be interested in helping promote the sport and become involved at the ground level as a founding member PLEASE let me know. I have the ground to start with a 3-4 course continuous course trial. That is the only way I will even proceed with this venture, anything less isnt of ANY interest to me. This would be a great opportunity if you are a "newbie" wanting to get some experience and exposure. Feel free to call anytime.

The plan is to start with walking and after a few years I may host a HB event also.

Are you going to be affiliated with AKC??? AF???

[ElhewPointer]

Come on Rob, look at his Avitar. Pointer. Think about it. ha ha ha. Kidding aside, it is AF.

[topher40]

That was a good one Rob, you almost had me!

Ross-
I will keep you posted, you might email me your phone number. I thought you were dead anyways since I hadnt heard from you in so long!

[Brushbustin Sporting Dogs]

O sorry guess I didn't know Pointers couldn't run in AKC events...

[topher40]

They can run in AKC events although they have a habit of outrunning the course..........

[Brushbustin Sporting Dogs]

Chris let me know when your going to have your first trial ill try to make and see if my dogs can fill up your course....

[ElhewPointer]

It's a walking trial, most dogs will fill the country. Short tail guys get so touching when you give em a little crap.

Chris if you need some help let me know. Are you looking to have the first trial this fall?

[topher40]

Vagas-
This fall is what I am shooting for. I hate to abuse you but I want some outside and impartial judges. Doesnt pay worth a darn and it pretty thankless but I could use you!

Rob, I would love to have you down here, the grounds are a little big though. Do you think can handle it?

[Brushbustin Sporting Dogs]

Vagas your right I really let my penis envy show through there.... So what your gonna have a shooting dog and a derby is that how it works??? Seriously I'm always up for alittle competition so let me know... If I win will you let me come back though??

[topher40]

You would have to come back to defend your title! We will have a sh dog, derby, puppy, and a gun dog stake if time and entries allow.

[hpvizslas]

If I can help at all, I would be glad to. We are a little ways away but when we visit the in-laws we are near St. Jo. Keep me up to date on the trial dates and I will try to swing down that way.

Good Luck
Jeff

Fall- I might come up- camping at the place maybe?

[topher40]

Yep, there will be room to pitch a tent or there is a bed and breakfast just 3 miles down the road that caters to hunters. I still have to talk to the guy about it and see if we can work out a deal but regardless it looks like the judges will be staying there.

ok- put me on your list

if I'm up in your area between now and then I'll stop in
