The 1973 akc National Champ Patricia von Frulord was a tri color.If you have Greif in your background,there is always the chance it will crop up.Jim Riesser had some when he first started breeding.I think your pup is related a number of times back to those old Greif dogs or you have some Strut in yo...

Is it time for all these Championships to be open to all Continential breeds?I don't see any championships for pointers only or setters only.Some of these breed championship only have eleven dogs in the stake?......Oak

Jake was an excellent gundog in a time when we had a lot of good gundogs in this area ( Wi,Ill.,In )He was owned by Jim battson from around St Louis,Mo.

Has anyone spoke with AKC about the jump in recording fee's from $.50 to $3.50.It's been awhile since I was the field trial secy,I had no idea these fee's had been raised so high.Between the price of gas,horse feed and event fee's.This could put an AKC club out of business.....vern

Nice jab Dave!One of the reasons I left was I got tried of seeing people getting rewarded for the off breeding and the cheating that was going on.It was a different time Dave,the midwest pro's totaly controled the NGSPA with very little particpation from the west coast.

Dave,I didn't mean Dude shouldn't be in the hall of fame but not in front of the real GSP's before him.It's unnatural trait for a GSP to run all age.Dave,most of the dogs you mentioned other than wildfire,couldn't reproduce themselves-why would that be?

bigoak

sorry,I meant the NGSPA.We had the Reg.5 and the Reg4 around here and the All Breed and I don't think he placed in any of them.Plus he was a fear biter.An amateur could never have owned a dog like that and won.The pro's would have run you out town.Where do you think the name savage sam comes from,no...

The two handling mistakes that drive me nuts are,a handler who doesn't keep his dog out front in the pocket(10-2).Never make the judge look back or to the side for your dog.And the other mistake is, coming to the trial with a dog that doesn't handle.Because at Amer. Field trials they scout the dogs ...
