I have often heard that NSTRA competition was for the true blue foot hunter and his dog and is the closest thing to actual hunting. However after attempts to run their good dogs on several different NSTRA grounds the complaint heard was pretty much the same; "my dogs go to where they've always found...

Llewellins dominated the early field trials up through the early 1900's. At that time they were simply known as the Field Trial Breed. 1901, 1902 National Champion Sioux, a Llewellin, was long time professionl James Avent's favorite charge. Rarely do you see one running in open competition today, ho...

Hi Brett,

Tell us about Hank's breeding. Are you going to train him for NSTRA or other venues?
Best of luck whatever the venue.

Pointers as grouse dogs? I believe pointers have won the Grand National Grouse Championship 7 times in the last decade. Has there ever been any other breed other than pointers and setters that have ever placed or run in cover dog championships? Wm. Harnden Foster (1886-1941) whom the Grouse Cover Do...

It's no secret that some crosses were made between hounds and pointers in establishing the English pointer breed. The Spanish pointer was very course and the limited breedings between foxhounds and pointers in the 1700's was written about in Wm. Arkwrights's 1902 book The Pointer and his Predecessor...

Grouse hunting in south central Indiana still holds some grouse but nothing like it was in the late '70's-early 80's. Always hunted with pointers and setters. Pointers are pretty much my breed of choice now. They seem to develop so much quicker than other breeds, and I love their style, athleticism,...

If the yellowing is caused by the dog having not shed his winter coat the Furminator is the answer for both long haired and shorthaired dogs. One of my pointers is very slow at shedding and his coat looked dingy, kinda yellow. The Furminator did wonders in one session. I highly recommed it. http://w...

I was surprised on this weeks show that Mr. Knapp didn't know the difference between a male bobwhite and a female. Those penraised birds humbled the exhibition shooter.

A very good major circuit open all-age dog.
Professional handler Ray Warren of Crofton KY runs the dog.
He was very close to winning the National Championship a couple of years ago with something like 9 finds and a strong finish at 3 hours.
I've not seen any of his pups but would like to.

I'll stake out sometimes. Be sure the stake head is flat and pounded all the way into the ground.

High lining (high picket) between and over the top of two trailers or between trees and or a trailer work beautifully.

From one of my earlier posts on the subject.
