I know there are a bunch of GDF members and dogs running there this weekend.

Unless I miss someone we have Brian D, Tony W, Peggy S, Brenda R (and Rick), Bruce S, and of course my boy Dez will be there with Brenda. GDF has a good turn out at this trial between these folks there will be 22 braces run. Going to be some tired folks after this weekend!

Wanted to wish everyone good luck, sorry if I missed you.

What's the scoop Andy now I'm getting anxious!!

ACooper · Post by **ACooper** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:09 pm

Haven't heard a word, I was warned ahead of time that there isn't much cell signal in that area.

Vonzeppelinkennels · Post by **Vonzeppelinkennels** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:14 pm

I don't know in your case but when I never heard a word it was because things didn't go in my favor.Which means most of the time I didn't hear a word for a few days anyway.
Maybe it will work in reverse for you,HOPE HOPE!!
Go to bed Andy get some sleep.

mountaindogs · Post by **mountaindogs** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:56 am

Agreed Ted I did nothing but send Brenda a talented puppy, but I am extremely grateful to her and proud of him. She said he was on his game had a big race (for walking dogs) had very nice bird work and a solid back. Waiting now to hear now the results of today, he had three finds, but didn't run nearly as big as yesterday. I also heard that Tony W's (vols fan) dog Dougie put down a really nice run today. I will post as soon as I hear something.

volraider · Post by **volraider** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:49 pm

Very impressed with Dez!! Great run and you have a really good handler. Good job and great dog.

ACooper · Post by **ACooper** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:40 pm

Just talked to Brenda, Dez won again today!! 3pt non retrieving today. Man what a great weekend and I can't tell Brenda enough how much I appreciate what she has done.

There were a other GDF with placements as well Peggy S went 3rd in the AGD with ZERO and Tony W went 2nd in the AGD and 2nd in OGD Dougie. Bruce S went 2nd in OLGD with Wyatt (sorry not sure who Wyatt's owner is). Brenda's dog Dolly finished 4th in the OLGD as well I believe.

Not sure of of the other Placements

Vonzeppelinkennels · Post by **Vonzeppelinkennels** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 8:37 pm

Those rertieving points are the big ones,you would be surprised at the number of dogs that have more then enough points but still need retrieving points.
CONGRATS again Andy,Dez,& Brenda!!

Oops that's what happens with bad cell signal! Doesn't change my excitement one bit!

It was nice to meet some of the guys and gals from GDF at the trial this weekend, I enjoyed it. Congrats on the ones that placed!!!!! There were SEVERAL nice dogs there for GDF members.

mountaindogs · Post by **mountaindogs** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 7:09 pm

can anybody tell me how to get a membership application? from a distance with my back out... but getting better...
thanks

vols fan · Post by **vols fan** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 7:30 pm

Go to the AKC event and get Bill Barber 's email and he can send you one. Just getting home from there. Nice place, people. Great first trial and the grounds are nice. I ended up with 3 second placements in the broke stakes. I sent my app in, great time up there.

snips · Post by **snips** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 8:53 pm

Congrats Tony on some real nice runs!

AHGSP · Post by **AHGSP** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:55 am

I was wondering where the heck your brag was!!!! Congrats Andy, Dez had a real nice run both days. The grounds and course were very, very nice and the Trial was very well done, after discussion with Bill, I'll be looking forward to them running a horseback stake on these grounds. It was also great to finally meet a bunch of GDF'ers that I've come to "know" over the years and finally put faces to names!

MillerClemsonHD · Post by **MillerClemsonHD** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:59 am

Congrats, Andy, Brenda, Tony, Bruce etc.

We had a good time at the trial. Enjoyed riding all of the OGD braces and some of the AGD. Had a good time getting to meet some GDF members. Good grounds that we will go back to run on again and maybe my pup will get to see the rest of the course she missed out on this time. Our run was short but I was happy with it while we were down.

Andy I want to apologize when you posted Friday I had already heard you had won before, but didn't want to post it before Brenda was able to tell you. Hated to make you wait longer though.

Yeah Bruce I kind of feel bad that this post has become a brag for Dez when there were lots of other dogs who deserve brags as well. Wasn't my intention.

No need to apologize I understand and would have done the same thing.

AHGSP · Post by **AHGSP** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:29 pm

Nothing to feel bad about! I kept looking in the Brag section wondering when the heck you were going to post a Brag!!!

Bruce, It was good to finally meet you this weekend. You have some nice dogs.

WEB · Post by **WEB** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 6:05 am

Really pleased to see all the positive GDF comments on the East TN Pointing Dog Association's first AKC Licensed Trial. We had a great time putting it on with tremendous support from the Nashville and Louisville GSP & Weim folks plus Atlanta Vizsla organization as well as Purina and Gun Dog Supply. We created the club, an "All Breeds" group to provide field activities for bird dog enthusiasts in Eastern TN and the surrounding region. We current have around 60 members representing most of the pointing breeds. Our first walking AKC Licensed trial held last weekend drew 68 entries from 8 states and the province of Ontario Canada.... We are still working on sorting thru all the photos taken, but Hunter Payne, Pro Trainer who owns Gun Dog Development Grounds and Training facility posted a 6 minute slide show on "You Tube".... which you can access via the following Link... gives a good idea of the grounds and some great action shots of the dogs, handlers and judges...

Glad to be a part of the GDF group!

Vonrommel · Post by **Vonrommel** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 12:20 pm

I was asked by the club to pass on a couple of pieces of info from the trial. The 1st one is the placements, and it should come through with this link;http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/ICeXTkPfX6 ... 700801.pdf

And the second one is a photo slide show, which can be found here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnrT4-NmCBI

Hopefully they will come through just fine.

The club also has a yahoo site, and you can visit it at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pointing_ ... f_East_TN/
