You can judge only what you see. It is quite obvious what happened, dog B stole point but you did not see him do it so forget it and move on. But, again you can only judge what you see. Dog B is pointing and Dog A is backing. I have observed this happening more then once, it is all part of Field tri...

The winners all need to be congratulated. It was very hot out. With the temps reaching into the 90's each day. Dogs had to be constantly watered down. I watched many of these dogs and they were truly amazing to see them run and find birds under these conditions. There were very few dogs that did not...

They ran five OAA braces today and will finish up with two braces tomorrow

Brooks Carmichael

We have all been there. What happened to you was a travesty and unfortunately it happens to often. I never questioned a judge but couple of time's I should have. Up at Sunnyside some years ago, I was in an ODG brace. Had one fairly new judge and I had Gene Pullen. Came through a bunch of sage with G...

Brooks Carmichael

The chicken championship starts today with 52 entries. Only 4 braces will be run today because of the heat. Tomorrow will go with 3 and 3. Should be done by Friday. One day of OAA and then on Sunday the ASD should start. Everything could change because of weather. Good luck to all.

Brooks Carmichael

It is like night and day. Shooting on course is as close as you can get to hunting wild birds. But, still not the same. Call back for a retrieve is where you have dozens of people watching and all kinds of talking, yelling and you name going on. The birds are rocked so heavy, it is hard to get the b...

Brooks Carmichael

It was very hot, in the 90's most days and most dogs made the hour. We had some great races and I and others were impressed with their bird finding ability. Plenty of birds. I seem to remember one dog had three finds and one stop to flush. You could not ask for more. It looks like it is going to be ...

Congrats on win. How many were drawn in each? OAA 12 drawn, 10 ran ASD 24 OSD 30 Derby 5 Lot's of birds, very few dogs went birdless and for a wild bird trial that was great. Heat was the problem, temp were mostly in the 90 except one day in ASD and one in OSD and they were in the 80's. I am sure m...

Does anyone know what the dates are for the 2014 NGSPA National Field Trial? Especially interested in the dates for the Amateur event. At the board meeting in June it was decided to have the NGSPA championship to start on the last Saturday in FEB. The ASD will be the first stake run. I have not hea...

Brooks Carmichael

Tom Davis and I will be going out in a couple of weeks to ride several course. We will decide then depending on the number of birds.

Thx.

It will start on August 31 and run until conclusion. The grounds are 3 miles north of Ekalaka, Montana. The stakes run in order are ASD, OAA and then OSD. Will run the Derby if time permits. This is German Shorthair Pointer Championship

+1 Doesn't it all come back to Responsible Breeders? If you have displactic hips, you wouldn't breed that dog would you? Same for some physical, some cosmetic defects. like overbite, "ee" etc.... If you have a known fault, or know your dog throws it, best to not breed that dog. There are some dogs t...

I have coat colored two of my dogs because it was the right thing to do. One is Trey (NFC), who's grandfather is ACE (the sire of the litter of Hanshaws that produced yellow and white pups. The second is the direct daughter of ACE. Yes, they have both been DNA'd. Neither have the gene that causes th...

Is the answer to question is probably was done. Could have it been done in all pointing breeds, most likely. The germans did it for years, but they put it in their pedigrees when done. The English pointers of years past were big blocky dogs as were other pointing breeds. Are the pointing breeds bett...

Brooks Carmichael

The dog has found it's owner. Another success story.

Brooks Carmichael

Dave, was a true gentleman. I only met him about ten years ago at a trial in Nebraska. I took immediately liking to him. He was an excellent trainer. I always laughed when he mentioned his hot tub at his training grounds in Nebraska sand hills. It was a huge round water tank normally one would find ...

Brooks Carmichael

In AKC trials. It is up to the judges. I have seen 10 minutes in most cases but, this judge decided at 5 minutes. It is just what it is. My dog just ran out of course, was seen going away at the end of the course and that is when I lost him.

Brooks Carmichael

Murph, I would say you have one heck of spring. Many people are quite jealous of you. Congrats on all the wins and placements.

Brooks Carmichael

Allie did a great job. She is one great dog. There was no question in her win and placement. We owe a lot to our trainers. Same trainers for both dogs.

NFC FC BDK's Chloe's Jax of All Trades (Trey) won the Open All Age memorial at GSPC of Nebraska and took 3rd in the North Central GSPCA OLAA Classic. Not a bad week. I had good shot at winning the AAA only to lose him in the last five minutes. Judges gave me five minutes to produce him and I could n...

I have a very high respect of all animals I hunt. In fact there are times, there is a little sadness when I take big game animal. For the animal and the hunt is over. I sit there sometimes and reflect over the hunt and the animal I have taken. It is all in the hunt for me, that it is what I enjoy mo...

Nothing on the derby stake yet. They got through brace 13 of the retrieving stake, yesterday. It started snowing again. Will be warming up tomorrow hopefully.

Brooks Carmichael

I just want to wish everyone good luck. Hopefully someone from this forum takes home some hardware.

Brooks Carmichael

Congratulations, I have seen Lucy run and she is truly an amazing dog.

NFC, FC, 2x Ch BDK's Choe's Jax of All Trades (Trey): Number 1, AA dog in GSPCA standings, Number 1 AA dog, AKC GSP's by dogs defeated. I want to thank Keith and Robbi Gullege for bringing him to this level. It could not have been done with out them.

I paid $4.00 for 60 lb broam grass square bale for when I travel to Field trials. I paid $70 for 1500 lb round bale of broam grass. I was lucky because I contracted for this hay in advance and have again set up for this year. I hope this drought get's over soon because next year might be a different...

Congrats to all!

I am very happy for Tom Davis and Dr. Reynolds very deserved wins by both.

Brooks Carmichael

Brooks, maybe the mid March date has something to do with? I still have over a foot of snow on the ground, with 5-8 on the way by Tuesday. There isn't much dog training going on here, nor much horseback riding. You are probably right about being so early, along with the National German Pointing Dog...

Brooks Carmichael

That is very low numbers. They usually have close to 90 in each. Real good for Derby for it's first time.

Brooks Carmichael

Has anybody heard how many entries they received in both retrieving and non-retrieving?

Brooks Carmichael

That is just the entry. There were some scratches.

Brooks Carmichael

This is well deserved win and crowning achievement for such a great dog.

Brooks Carmichael

Here is my two cents. Habitat has a great deal to do with loss in bird numbers, spring rains right when the birds hatch has a tremendous effect on survival of chicks. This is in negative way. But, us not forget the house cat. It kills more birds then any natural predator out there. Yes, hawks and ow...

Brooks Carmichael

Will be seeing you there and I hope I can give you a run for your money

Brooks Carmichael

You are the only one that can make the choice who trains your dog. There are several good trainers not far from you. Mike and Nicki McGinnis, who lives just outside Baker City, Oregon. Mike advertises occasionally in AF.There is Dan Hoke in Cheney, WA. which is just south of Spokane,WA. Both are out...

Brooks Carmichael

I run my GSP's in both AKC and NGSPA field trials. Been trialing and Judging for over 30 years.

Brooks Carmichael

The last I heard, if at any time you place a dog in AKC event, you cannot change the dogs name. But,to be sure I would call AKC.

Brooks Carmichael

I stick with the same dog food year around. I use a 30% protein 20% fat year around and increase or decrease as needed. The dogs seem to do much better that way.

Brooks Carmichael

You oldtimers seem to be a little selfish, how do you expect to attract new people into the sport? Maybe you "owners" dont remember your first puppy or derby win because you paid a pro to get it for ya. The rest of us got it the hard way, GOOD OLD FASHION WORK I am one of those old timers.

Congratulations to Robbi (handler) and Terry and Kirk (owners) for Indy's great win, I am so happy and pleased with her progression for the Bomers'. She is going to win a bunch of them and she was born in my basement. Hope I get to see her run a bunch in her lifetime. She is the product of my Dunfu...

We should have had the OSD results by now. Has anybody heard what they are?

Tim,

I do not believe there is an AAA. I just learned they are starting the ASD on Saturday

Brooks Carmichael

My understanding they only ran four braces today because of fog. Will finish up tomorrow with last three braces and AA will start Saturday

Brooks Carmichael

Does anybody know how many braces they got through today?

Brooks Carmichael

I hope you do make it. It should be a fun and exciting Nationals this year.
