Sharptail Championship

Post by Anaconda Pintler » Fri Sep 05, 2008 2:52 pm

Ezzy are you serious you locked the Sharptail thread, why? There was nothing but discussion about a trial, that alot of us that were not there would like to have known what happened. Kind of quick on the button don't you think? JMO Not trying to start trouble but I for one would like to hear different opinions and make my own decision on to attend or not attend in the future but if I do not find out it is kind of hard to make my own opinion that is what these boards are for I thought was to share info about things. :?
Has nothing to do with luck just boot leather and a fine GWP...

If you have somwething new to add go ahead. The other one was locked because it had developed into personnal comments between people who were not even there. Not sure what any of us had learned after two full pages of comments but as long as the conversation stays on topic I have no problem with it but when we start saying the same thing over and over and posting about the people on here instead of the subject historically it becomes time to just close the topic before it deteriates further.

We don't lock topic that stay on topic and facts or opinions are offered about the topic and not the posters.

I'm interested in some facts here, please no judgments or opinions.

In a NGSPA/AF trial there is an entry fee for each stake. What is the disposition of the total of the entry fees for each stake i.e is some percentage retained for expenses, some percentage paid to owners/trainers of placing dogs etc.? In the event that all placements are withheld what happens to the portion that normally would have been paid to placements, if any? I assume nothing would be paid to amateur stakes entrants, is that correct?

Ken,,,, I see your question has gone unanswered and I was hoping that somebody with more knowledge of the NGSPA would comment. But in my experience NGSPA trials are American Field sanctioned,, there for it is governed by the rules of advertising of the American Field,,, and the add usually covers all those questions and every trial can be different. Most purse splits are 50% of the entry fees split 70% to the winner and 30% to the runner up. Alot of ads read that if a runner up is not placed the winning handler gets the whole 50%. This seems to be standard but there is no set rule its up to each host club. I personally never seen an ad that stated what happens to the purse if no winner is named.

Except in a Futurity,,, the prize purse always goes to the handler. Now what he does with it is totally up to him and if he is a pro he most likely has already outlined this with his customers. Some keep the whole purse and charge no handling fee, some give some back but charge a handling fee of say $100 everytime they run your dog, some might give a percentage back,,, it various with each pro. I do think its kinda of standard that the owner of the dog gets the plaque or trophy if there is one.

Disclaimer,,, these example are standard "pointer/setter" AF trials,,, not 100% on the NGSPA,,,, but probably close enough.

I was there, I ran in the Am. SD. and scouted in the AA. I have attended the trial for the past three years and so I feel that I am qualified to "add" my opinion. Of all the trials out there, each year I looked forward to this one the most because of the venue: wild birds, lots of challenging country, and this time of year can provide for some of the best condidtions for a dog and handler to really prove their worth. I have to say though, each year the trial has become more and more disorganized and ill-run. Many people, pros and amateurs like myself, were upset with the poor organization and the lack of planning/communication by the people putting on the trial. For me, it was so bad that I left the trial early and have zero plans of returning.

So, take it as you want. I'm not making it personal, just telling how I saw it from my front row seat. Some may think of me as a poor sport... so be it. Or, the wiser may want to evaluate the future of this trial and its impact on the sport.

Ken ~

Some of the championships do on a % of the entries for each stake but as looking @ the ads in the American Fields for this fall's NGSPA Championships so far it's like this~


NGSPA Chuckar Championship~ OSD- winner $700 ru $300, AA same as OSD, ASD a trooper saddle to winner & ecollar to runner up

NGSPA Sharptail Championships~ AA~ 40% of entry fees returned 70%/30% (minimum 12 dog payout)
OSD is the same as AA except for their minimum is 16 dogs
Amateur & Derby Classic winners get leather plaques and additional prizes for other placments

NGSPA Region 17 Championships~ASD Tri Tronics collar to the winner & gas card to runner up, AA is 30% of entry feeds divided 70/30, OSDC is same as AA . IF NO CHAMPION IS NAMED IN A STAKE THE PURSE WILL NOT BE PAID.

NGSPA Sandhill Greater Prairie Chicken Championships~ AA Winner gets a pastel dog portrait by Fran Krommenhoek, $50.00 gift certificate from Sierra Trading Post, & $400.00 (minimum 12 dog for payout), Ru gets Tri-Tronics Upland Special shock collar, $25.00 STP gift certificate and $200.00 purse, ASD winner engraved Rocking R gaited horse saddle and a pastel portrait done by Fran, a $50.00 STP gift certificate, runner up receives Tri Tronics collar & $25.00 STP gift certificate. The OSD gets the same as the AA but has to have a minimum of 30 dogs for payout and runner up recieves the same as AA runner up.

NGSPA Region 8 Championships~ AA STP gift certificates winner $750.00 and runner up $350.00, ASDC~ free gas cards, winner $750 & runner up $350, DC STP gift certificates plus 1st $300.00, 2nd $200.00, and 3rd $100. OSDC STP gift certificate winner $750.00 and runner up $350.00

NGSPA Hungarian Partridge Championship~ AA $500 to winner & $250 to runner up, ASDC $750 to the winner and $350 to the runner up plus gas cards, DC 1st $300, 2nd $150 3rd $75.00, OSDC $500 to winner and $250 to runner up plus Sierra Trading Post Gift Certificates (NOTE: ALL PURSES~ IF NOT ENOUGH DOGS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP (6AA, 10SD,) THEN $500.00 PURSE IS SPLIT 50-30-20)

Anyway thats they way these this fall are read. Hope it helped. Oh and at the NGSPA futurity the money is split between the owners (of the dogs) and the breeders, the trainer gets nothing unless owner is there to tell the NGSPA secretary to write check out to their trainer or the owner can just turn around and pay the trainer. GSPCA is also just done to owners & breeders.

Nope we aren't going out, you'll love the Richardson's and their place it's awesome. Nancy and I go out about every other year for the Cheyenne Frontier Days and our birthday presents to ourselves. We always have a great time @ Keith & Bobbi's, their more gracious and hospitable than most people you'll ever meet in a life time. Have a great time out there and best of luck to Sonny & Dennis and yourself.

Sounds like the Sharptail needs a major overhaul. I have not heard anything good about it in 2 years from very honorable people.

That is great that Pat won that stake. He was in the first brace and I remember looking over at Doug and saying WOW, that will be tough to top. This was the first time I met Pat and let me say this, he is a great guy and really made sure that I, the newbie, felt at home.
As far as the trial itself went, this was my first AF sanctioned event so I do not feel right commenting on the topic. I will say this though, great country and you gotta love running on wild birds, it seperates the good dogs/handlers from the great ones. Have a good 1. JW

I have not been there but what a place to run a bird dog, on wild birds, in a wild place. I bet those cattle are as wild as anything around.

The pictures are just wonderful Doug. Keep sending them. I agree with Chip. I thing Rich is telling Joyce how he wants his steak. :)

Wow Doug you captured some great views. The Montana scenery is gorgeous I'd love to go up just once, Keith says he's been in Montana and to far to travel anymore. haha :lol: :P Good to see Rich is finally riding the blue roan boy can't wait to see him in person it's been over a year since I saw him still a stud @ the Region 5 and getting off his stake out all the time (course Rich had just picked him up and was awaiting Pops to come take him up home) also to see Joyce still has full control of Chrome. :lol: (funny he used to love Rich before Joyce came along, man what a great horse!!) Can't wait to see them all @ Eureka if not before. Doug keep them awesome pictures coming.

Excellent JW!! Man, give me a trailer full of good, hard working sorrel ponies anyday - love that pic!!

Man, you can sure tell Dixie was under the weather in the chain gang photo. Poor girl - violated our most important rule/goal for the dogs in the week prior to a trial - keep 'em healthy and out of trouble!! They aren't gonna get in any better shape or any better trained but they can sure enough get themselves injured or sick!! Dangit!

I've still got a crazy visor tan line on the top of my dome that my work folk are giving me grief about!!

I hear ya about the goofy tan lines. I have people ask me all the time if I have been welding or using a cutting torch because I never go without the trusty Oakley's.

It makes me sick to thing that she was under the weather aswell. On a possitive note though, I ran her today and she had 5 finds and 2 stops to flush in about 50 mins. And the newest GSP to bless the camp ran out of her mind. She was hanging out deep in the country. She is a very nice moving pup. We also turned Rebel loose today and let me say this .... he got bigger and lasted longer today. One of his casts was about 3/4 of a mile and I got him to bend and make a nice move down a long ridge. I am really opptomistic about him. Have a good 1. JW

I am not the type of person to sit in front of a computer all day, therefore, I have never heard of this web site.. After receiving several phone calls telling me to check it out, I decided to check it out. Normally I would not waste my time responding to washroom gossip, but I took it to heart when all my efforts to put on this championship had been attacked by people that had not attended this event. All this negativity deserves a response.

There are “T” shirts in Ekalaka Mt. that say “End of the world 9 miles- Ekalaka Mt. 12 miles” which means
Ekalaka is in the middle of no where.

These grounds are second to none in the country. There are literally thousands of acres available, some crop land, some CRP and the majority grass land. These grounds are privately owned by ranchers who have been very gracious to share some of their land to the Sharptail Championship and its participants.

During the time this championship takes place, ranchers are working extremely long hours attending to their harvest, which is their main interest at this time, so it is difficult to make contact and communicate with them. The Sharptail Championship Association has no control over the grounds availability from year to year do to rotation of crops, live stock, acreage put into seed, and new fencing put up during the year.

The week before the trial was to start three one hour courses used in previous years had been lost to cattle crazing, CRP haying . A very large part of two other courses had been lost to seeding and cattle crazing. Land that had never been run on had to be used because of the lose of most of the established courses. Fences and gates were an obstacle that we had to overcome on these new courses. Two days was hardly enough time to be familiar with location of each gate.The men judging were aware of this problem and took the appropriate measures in viewing the dogs. This is a wild bird trial. Course is a direction not a path.

The night of the amateur drawing this situation with the courses was addressed and anyone having a opinion good or bad had the opportunity to discuss it. The option to run their dog or not was totally up to them at this time. Let me also point out that courses have been shut down in previous years due to lose of land, crazing and spear grass.

It has been the policy in previous years to run six braces a day. Three in the morning and three in the afternoon, but there has been times when this had to be changed to four braces in the morning and all afternoon braces shut down due to excessive heat. This is done for one reason only and that is the safety and health of the dogs. The time set to start is usually 7:30-8:00 AM and !:30-2:00 PM and of course this could change due to fog or extreme heat. These decisions are made by the judges -As It Should Be! We come out here to enjoy the dogs and the breath taking scenery and good times. Punching a clock has never taken palace at this championship and never will. Men that judged open all age, open shooting and open derby had been in the dog game for over thirty five years each respectively. They have judged regional , species championships as well as nat’l championships. Both are known and respected throughout the American Field.
Each stake has a standard, which is outlined in “Guidelines To Field Trial Procedure And Judicial Practice” page 23. See also page 51-Withholding Of Placements.

The Sharptail Championship is a championship which requires a championship performance. We will not lower our standards on naming a champion. The caliber of dog entered in these wild bird trials may need to be re-evaluated by their owners.
The Sharptail Championship was advertised in the American Field in August. This premium is a contract which explained :ground location, starting date, drawing, judges, stakes, running order and disbursements of monies. And it stated “If no champion is named monies remain with the club. This money is put back into the club account and used the following year and used for advertising , judges expenses, grades to land owners, plaques etc…A dog wagon circles the camp in the morning to pickup dogs for the morning braces and again to drop them off and repeats this in the afternoon. It is the handlers responsibility to have his dog or dogs on the dog wagon. The man that has handled our dog wagon in the past was hospitalized one day before the trial and help was at a minimal so it was handled the best it could with a two man show. This year as in the past, people would rather complain than to offer a little help, which would have been greatly appreciated.

This trial is put on by two men that travel thousands of miles to put on one of three wild bird championships. We would be more than grateful for any volunteers, especially those of you that had been quick to criticize and hadn’t even been there.
Rather than sitting behind your computer screens criticizing, try wearing out brush pants and a few
pairs of boots.

Tom,
I don't know if you remember me or not, I am the guy that lives just north of the trial grounds. Let me know if you need help next year. I would be glad to help ride and mark some of the courses or with anything else as far as that goes. I think the trial grounds are great. JW

Thanks for posting up Tom!! Good stuff! I know how difficult it is to organize a trial and then have it come off seamlessly and successfully - very difficult and very stressful!! I love the place, I love the birds, I look forward to and enjoy seeing you there every year!!

I'm sending you a private message with an issue I'd like to tell you about but not publicly. Uda man!! :lol:
