To All:The past two months have brought many challenges and rewards to the

NSTRA community. As we move forward to bring our organization into the modern era, there are several changes that are being made. All of this is not without growing pains, but your National Officers believe that these changes are crucial to the growth of our organization.

One of the biggest changes is our online draw program. Our old program was innovative for its time. There wasn’t anything out there that could do the job it did. Over time, and with new and improved software, it had become less than satisfactory. Reprogramming the trial draw program was not an option so it was decided to completely change the way it operated. We could explain how this was done and if you want to know, just call the office. The staff is well versed on its operation. From now until September 1, we are asking you to go into the new program and use it. Get familiar with it. There is a tutorial that can get you started and if you have questions, again call the office. On September 1, all NSTRA trial draws will be made using the online draw program. Exceptions will be made only IF you call Julia in the office 48 hours prior to drawing the trial AND you have a valid reason for requesting a hand drawn trial. The purpose for this is two-fold; 1) The new program eliminates the human error and adjustments in the hand drawn trials and, 2) the draw will tie in to the reporting to our database so that the office staff will review the trial report, click a button, and your results will be posted immediately.

Another change we made in the recent past was our alliance with the United Kennel Club. We have not had the response that we had anticipated and frankly we are disappointed. Nowhere else can you get your dog’s NSTRA accomplishments documented on their pedigree. This includes championships, National trial winners and 1st runners –up and Regional winners and 1st runners-up. In addition, registry of your deceased dogs is free. UKC is trying to build its bird dog registry, and over time your dog’s pedigree should be able to show an abundance of championship information for your potential customers. In addition, we are talking to them about assisting with the publication of our magazine with a potential to reach 30,000 subscribers versus our current 2,500. We have taken the option to make next year’s (2015) Trial of Champions free to any champion dog that is registered with UKC prior to March 1, 2015. I don’t know about you, but a $35 registration fee is much less than a $150 entry fee. No brainer! Last year we gave $16,000 to the regions for their use based on participant criteria. This year we are deciding to give back to those members who have actively participated in NSTRA and have spent a considerable amount of time and money to pursue their dog’s championship.

We are working fast and furiously on new judging guidelines that we anticipate having finished in time for the summer judging seminars. This will give the judging instructors more specific and fair numbers to assess to certain pieces of work so that the entire judging membership is closer in their scoring practices.

If you haven’t noticed yet, the NSTRA magazines from 2012 forward are now available to see on the website. Click on the 3rd tab down and it will take you to each individual issue.

Please check out the meeting minutes posted on the website for other information.

Sincerely,CC

Dear Boomer,

Boomer, a German Wirehair Pointer, lives on a farm in central Illinois

Finding Game After the Shot

Sometimes, my Mom or I shoot a bird, see it hit the ground, and then we can’t find it. Losing a bird after all the wing shooting practice and all the work we put in to find a place to hunt is a real downer. Can you help us?

Signed, Bummed Out

Dear Bummed,

I hunt with “scent challenged” humans all the time. Humans make much better hunting partners if they will remember to “SLAM” when they shoot. To make it easier for you to remember, think “bam and SLAM.” When your shotgun goes “bam”, you remember to “SLAM.” Sorry for all the repetition, but my human remembers better if I repeat things for him. He is a great guy but he is a little slow.

So what does “SLAM” stand for? It means “Stop, Look, And Mark.” Stop when you hear the shot or when you shoot. Look at the game that has been shot and then Mark where you saw the game last. This works especially well when you are hunting in a party of two or more. Put down a cap or highly visible object before you move. You should be carrying a red or orange bandanna anyway as part of your first aid kit in case a dog should get injured. Only the person who shot should move. The person(s) who Looked and Marked where the game fell should tell the shooter when to stop moving. By lining up the location of the fallen game with a point on the horizon, the location should be accurate within feet. This method works because of “triangulation” and the fact that human depth perception beyond a few feet is not very accurate. A single hunter should use SLAM but will not have the pin point accuracy gained by using another person’s view point.

By the way, “triangulation” has other meanings too. But the one I am thinking abut is like hunting with your Mom and using her help to find the game. Do you ever “triangulate” that is, ask your Mom or your Dad for their view point? If you’re old enough to have passed hunter safety and are handling a firearm by yourself, then your Mom and Dad are starting to let you make important decisions. Try asking them for their view point on something you’re trying to decide on. One caution, asking for your Mom and Dad’s view point can cause stress bordering on shock. So I suggest you start slow with minor things like their view point on the new “power drinks vs. regular soda.” Save asking about body piercings and tattoos until you’ve practiced a few times. Also, no matter what they say, be accepting and nonjudgmental.

Back to hunting! Most beginning hunters “gun and run.” That is, they shoot and then go right to where they last saw the game. If the game is still able to run, going right to the last spot the game was seen won’t help because even a wounded pheasant or quail is much faster than a human on foot. After your hunting partners have directed you to the location where the game was last seen, look for blood or feathers in a radius of a few feet.

If you do not find the game in fifteen minutes or so, look for the nearest cover (thick grass, brush pile, gully, rock pile) and search along a line toward the cover before searching the cover.

If you are unlucky enough to be born without radar in your nose like me, then learn to SLAM. Your game recovery rate will improve. Remember to take some time before or after the hunt to get your parents view points on some things of interest to you. Their reactions might be as interesting as going hunting.

Ask Boomer!

THE KNOW!News that we feel is

important to everyone.

REFERENCE CHANGE

18.04 (page 44) currently reads:

An Open and Novice dog shall not be drawn against each other. Draw all open dogs first and then all Novice dogs. (Ex-ample: If the trial has 18 Open dogs and 14 Novice dogs, then, it would consist of 9 braces (1-9 of Open dogs) and 7 braces (10-16 of Novice dogs).

The Board of Directors voted to change the wording to (changes in bold):

18.04

An Open and Novice dog shall not be drawn against each other. All Open dogs will be braced together and all Novice dogs will be braced together. The draw will be done utilizing randomized braces.

This change was submitted and voted on by the Board of Directors during the April meeting. The randomized braces are a feature of the new online draw system and can now accomplish that which was not possible previously with a hand draw. In-stead of having all the novice braces at the beginning or end of the trial, they can now be randomly placed within the trial day to make it fair for all in the running.

The new online draw program is now operational. Please start using the program. If you have any questions or problems, please contact the office for assistance. In order to go completely paperless and increase the speed of trial updates, all NSTRA trial draws will be done with the new online program as of September 1, 2014. Requests for approval to hand draw a trial must be made to the office 48 hours prior to the actual draw.

Hall of Fame Criteria

To qualify for the NSTRA Hall of Fame a dog must accumulate 13 points through any combination of the following:

National Trial win = 8 pointsNational Final Four (2nd ,3rd, 4th ) = 5 pointsTop Performance win = 6 pointsRegional Championship = 2 pointsEach 5 NSTRA championships = 1 point

This method would allow members to qualify using various combinations of accomplishments.

In case of a tie the following criteria will be use in descending order:

1. National Championship wins2. Top Performance wins3. National Championship placements4. Regional Championship wins5. Number of NSTRA championships

Hall of Fame nominations are due in the office by March 31.

Top Performance Award Criteria

Dogs must have at least 20 open points from June 1 through May 31 for the ap-plicable year to be eligible. Weekend trials only. From there, the award will be based on national trials and regional eliminations.

The Performance Trial will be the begin-ning national trial each year, even if it ends prior to June 1st in order to keep the num-ber of nationals the same each year.

The Regional Elimination trial will be based on regularly scheduled regionals for each year and only one regional can count per year. Regionals scheduled or resched-uled to be held after June 1 will apply to the previous year. For National trials, a dog must make the Sat-urday cut to receive a qualifying score. Each national trial will have a point value of 800 points. The value will drop 25 points per placement throughout the Saturday cut (1st

– 800, 2nd – 775, 3rd – 750, etc.). In addi-tion, 100 bonus points will be awarded to the Champion, 75 for the second place dog, 50 for third and 24 for fourth. Each Regional Elimination will have a point value of 600 points. The value will drop 25 points per placement until the last dog or points run out (1st – 600, 2nd – 575, 3rd – 550, etc.). In addition, 100 points will be awarded to the Champion, 75 for the second place dog, 50 for third and 25 for fourth.

The placement for Regional Eliminations and National Trials is determined by the score of the last round in which the dog ran.

Champions Certificates:

We are still having problems with the print-ing of the 1XCH Certificates and have been getting many calls about this. As soon as we have the problem resolved, we will mail out your certificates. Thank you for being patient with us.

voting Rights for Associate members:

A question has come up as to whether “associate members” can vote in regional elections. To clarify any confusion,

the answer to said question is “No”.

When the associate membership was established, it was done in order to allow

families to be able to participate at a lesser rate. To that means, to havevoting priveleges at the National or

Regional level, one must be a full member.

How the study participants ranked their motivators:· Fitness· Feelings of well-being· Pep and energy· Enjoyment of the exercise· Sleeping better· Feeling alert· Being relaxed· Weight management· Appearance

Ways to be fitness faithful:· Do a variety of activities you enjoy. Having a variety of activities will ensure that you can do something regardless of the weather or time of day.

· Commit to another person. The social aspect of exercise can be important; workout with friends or family.

· Make exercise a priority. It has to be a non-negotiable.

· Exercise even when you're “too tired” Chances are, you'll feel better after exercising, and it will energize you.

· Log your activity. Write down the things that are important to you. It could be how much time you exercise each day or what you weighed.

· Be aware of all the indicators of progress:

· Getting a good night's sleep

· Thinking more clearly

· Having more energy

· Hearing your doctor congratulate you on improved cholesterol, blood pressure, bone density, and blood sugars

Simply put, exercise is a habit that makes us happier chukar hunters. Healthy Chukar Hunter Lifestyle Tip: Ways to Make Exercise a HabitAll too often, our initial enthusiasm and energy fades, we get distracted by other things going on in our lives, or we

don't think we're seeing results quickly enough and we throw in the towel. A study was recently done on long-term exercisers (who had been working out for an average of 13 years) were asked to rank what motivated them to keep up with their regimes. Their answers might surprise you. The exercisers were not as concerned with powerful pecs and awesome abs as they were with feeling good and being healthy.

Hike high and far, shoot less and enjoy

your wonderful gun dog!

It comes with a little story I like to share with you. It is a two and one half hour ride from home to the Dark Acres Hunt Club in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. My dogs are kennel dogs and typically ride in the back of my truck. After an 30 minutes on the road I decided to put my little Shorthair female, Clio, in the front seat of the truck. It was her first front seat ride and she just lay next to me with her head on my arm. It wasn't until I arrived at Dark Acres that I realized that it was June 1 and it was Clio's birthday. The front seat ride couldn't have paid off any more and you can see the results in the photo attached. Clio took 1st place with 4/4/B. To top that Clio celebrated her third birthday with her third 1st placement and these along with two seconds now has 13 points and is well on her way toward her championship. That night she slept in the front of the truck and not in a kennel.

QUAIL INVITATIONAL:This trial is always held the last week in February that includes a Saturday. The qualification period for this trial is Nov. 1 through Oct. 31. This includes all points earned during the time frame, except points earned from placements in the final “Top 4” of a National Championship trial or Regional Championship trial (qualifying rounds do count). Entry into the trial is based on points (dog with most points first to get in and on down the list, etc.). NO INVITATIONS WILL BE SENT. Any dog with a placement during specified time frame will be eligible to enter. Amateur points do not qualify entry into Championship trials.

TRIAL OF CHAMPIONS:The criteria for entry into this trial is that the dog has earned an open championship and is at least a 1X open champion by February 1 of the current year OR the dog can be a paid standby for this trial by achieving their open championship between February 2 and March 31 of the current year. All entries for this trial must be postmarked by March 10. No invitations will be sent.

UKC PERFORMANCE CLASSIC:The qualification for this trial is points earned from April 1 to March 31. Weekend trials only. No points from qualification or final rounds of national championship or regional championship trials will be counted.

DOG OF THE YEAR:This trial will begin on Wednesday of the last full week of October. This trial is based on region elimination placement and/or high point status. All entries must be postmarked 45 days prior to the first

3rd – 750, etc.). In addition, 100 bonus points will be awarded to the Champion, 75 for second place, 50 for third and 25 for fourth. Each regional elimination will have a point value of 600 points. The value will drop 25 points per placement until the last dog or points run out (1st – 600, 2nd – 575, 3rd – 550, etc.). In addition, 100 points will be awarded to the Champion, 75 for the second place dog, 50 for the third and 25 for fourth. The placement for the regional eliminations and national trials is determined by the score of the last round in which the dog ran.

HALL OF FAME NOMINATIONS:Hall of Fame nominations will be accepted November 1 through March 31 of each year. Send these to the office. Nominations of dogs to the NSTRA Hall of Fame are NOT “carried over” to following years should the dog not be elected in the year nominated. Plainly stated, a dog that does not get elected to the Hall of Fame in the year nominated must be re-submitted each year in order to be considered for election.

TRIAL SCHEDULES:Fall trial schedules are due in the officeby May 1. Spring trial schedules are duein the office by Nov. 1. All trials must bepublished on the website 4 weeks prior to their running.

TRIAL REPORTS:Trial reports are due in the NSTRA office 10 days after the trial date.

ENDURANCE CLASSIC: Entry into this trial for 2014 will be based on all open and amateur points earned from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014, and NSTRA open champion dogs, regardless of points earned during qualifying period. Points earned from placements in the final “Top 4” of a National Championship trial or Regional Championship trial do not count; however, points from qualifying rounds do count. In the case of a full trial with more than 128 dogs entered, entries will be used in the order that follows: 1. Dogs with open points within the qualification dates; 2. Open champion dogs; 3. Dogs with amateur points within the qualification dates. Entry deadline is Monday, July 21, 2014.

TOP PERFORMANCE:Dogs must have at least 20 open points from June 1 through May 31 of the applicable year to be eligible. Points will be from weekend trials only. From there, the award will be based on national trials and regional eliminations. The Performance Trial will be the beginning national trial each year, even if it ends prior to June 1st in order to keep the number of nationals the same each year. The Regional Elimination trial will be based on regularly scheduled regionals for each year and only one regional can count per year. Regionals scheduled or rescheduled to be held after June 1 will apply to the previous year. For national trials, a dog must make the Saturday cut to receive a qualifying score. Each national trial will have a point value of 800 points. The value will drop 25 points per placement throughout the Saturday cut (1st – 800, 2nd - 775,

2014 TRIAL OF CHAMPIONSAs NSTRA trialers venture to Amo, Indiana the last week in April, mushrooms raise their heads while redbud and dogwood show their colors along the four interstates entering Indiana. The trial began on Wednesday, April 24, 2014 running 110 of NSTRA’s finest dogs. To qualify for the trial, a dog must be a NSTRA champion by February 1st. A dog must accumulate 18 points of which 9 must be first place points and prove that he will back to become a champion. Three points are given for a 1st place win, 2 points for a 2nd place win and 1 point for a 3rd place win. Thus, championships don’t come easily and each of the 110 dogs have worked hard to attain this status.

The Conservation Birddog Club was host for the Championship’s running with practice fields available on Monday and Tuesday for those who chose to work dogs prior to the trial. Scott Townsend, NSTRA First Vice President, was chairman for the event with co-chairman J.R.Coke. Judges for the event were Mike Akey (Ohio), Donivan Stir (Ohio), Martin Ueltschey (GCT) and Donny Parker (AR). Handling birds was Michael Akey (Ohio) with field marshals, Ron Huels and Ron Becker (Il). Mike, Donivan and Martin were new to the championship arena and performed as expected for a championship judge. Donny and the “Twins” Ron and Ron, had worked numerous trials as had Michael Akey as birdhandler. Entries for the Trial of Champions has dwindled the last few years, so watch the magazine for an exciting plan for next year’s entries.

On Wednesday morning, the flag ceremony was held on the front lawn; the flag was raised by Bill Moore and Rob Brockmeier and our National Anthem as sung by T.J.Craven was played. Judging A Field was Martin and Donny with Ron Huels as marshal. Sixteen dogs from each field from Wednesday and Thursday would advance to Friday’s running with advancement signified by ***.

Thus ended Round 1 with 64 dogs left to draw into Friday’s running of 2 fields with 16 braces per field. The drawing was held after the trial and before the banquet while field cleaners were sweeping both fields for any leftover birds. The running was posted and all gathered for the invocation before our meal. Jug’s Catering was once again on hand for the banquet meal and as always proved to be a huge success. How could it go wrong with fried chicken, catfish, fried biscuits and apple butter? A meal fit for a king; a big thank you to Jug’s for another great meal. Chad Collison was on hand to begin the program after the meal and thanked the Conservation Birddog Club for their support of the TOC National Championship. He also introduced several past presidents; Ron Robertson, Jim Mahoney, Butch Jackson, and Bob Cunningham and the office personnel, Emily Perkins, Julie Herwehe, and Angie McDuffee. Scott then introduced his trial officials and presented trophies for Wednesday and Thursday’s qualification rounds. Chad Calicott was presented with the Trial of Champions portrait as last year’s TOC National Champion winner, Blaze’s Black Magic. The portrait is commissioned each year from Ross Young and it seems he out does himself from one year to the next. Our thanks to Ross for a special award for the TOC’s winner.

Thursday evening brought a round of showers which were still in the area for the beginning of Friday’s running. Mike and Donivan moved to A field and the second qualification round began with the first brace coming to the line at 7:30 a.m. The 8 highest scoring dogs would advance from A and B fields to run 4 – ½ hour braces on Saturday morning. Those braces follow:

Saturday’s trial would consist of 2 fields with 4 braces each and was drawn and posted immediately following the conclusion of the 16th brace. Scott presented trophies for Friday’s running and a 7:30 a.m. start time was set for Saturday morning. The weather had cleared during the afternoon and brought a beautiful spring evening to central Indiana. Everyone was on their own for dinner Friday evening and several frequented the Clayton Café and Coachman Restaurant. Others helped themselves to Golden Corral’s all you can eat buffet and Bubba’s Steakhouse. Everything was winding down, however the most important day was yet to come. Who would become the 2014 Trial of Champions National Champion? The Top 16 were all hoping beyond hope it would be them; this is the reason we do what we do. To one day perhaps be in that Top Four winner’s circle, celebrating those special dogs who “beat the best”.

Saturday dawned with beautiful sunshine and soft breezes which would help with the scenting conditions on both fields.

Clayton and Tom both would experience their first one hour championship run and while lunch was being served in the clubhouse, they were doing their best to rest and ready themselves and their dogs for the running. Gates were opened between A and B field and approximately 80 acres was at their disposal for the 10 birds which would be located throughout the field. Donny and Martin released the championship brace at 2 p.m. with spectators on the viewing towers in both fields.

At the end of the brace the newest NSTRA National Champion and youngest handler to win a National Championship was Clayton’s TJ Micro-Tequila Watson and Clayton Ashmore. Tom Rotundo with Last Dance Lily was crowned 1st runner-up. Watson’s score of 936 points consisted of 5 finds and 5 retrieves. Lily had scored on 2 finds and retrieves.

Everyone gathered in front of the clubhouse for a Top Four/Gallery picture before moving into the clubhouse for the trophy presentations. Scott made the presentations for each of the Top 4 winners and thanked all those involved for their work and help in conducting the trial.

First runner-up, Last Dancy Lily, is a 6 year old German Shorthair Pointer female, owned and handled by Tom Rotundo, NI Region member.

Tom and Lily received the Purina Winner’s Jacket and 225# of Purina Pro Plan. In addition, they received gift certificates from Dogs Unlimited, Garmin and Foster and Smith; the 1st runner-up trophy and Belt Buckle from NSTRA; and a t-shirt and sweatshirt from Red Haw Supply.

WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 59 I G

came on 10/13/12 at the Bryan Farms trial where he placed 1st. He also had a placement at the 2013 DOY qualification round and placed 2nd on the A field at the 2014 TOC Qualification round. Watson received 450# of Purina Pro Plan and Clayton received the winner’s jacket from Purina. Clayton also received the winner’s Belt Buckle and Champion trophy from NSTRA along with gift certificates from Dogs Unlimited and Foster and Smith; the 2nd runner-up trophy and Belt Buckle from NSTRA; and a t-shirt and sweatshirt from Red Haw Supply. The Garmin Corporation furnished Clayton with an electronic collar and he was presented with a diamond plated dog box from Ownens Corporation. Ross Young will also paint the portrait of Watson for the Watson/Ashmore crew and will be presented at the DOY Trial in October. A few quotes from Clayton:

“Having watched my Dad run in three final hours made me want to do achieve the same. “

“When I found out I was in the final hour all that was on my mind was me potentially being one of the youngest handlers to ever win a National trial.”

“After the brace I felt so much excitement that it wasn’t until I shook my brace mates hand that I felt relieved and realized that I had won.”

Donny Parker, one of the final hour judges is quoted as saying, “Clayton is a fine young gentleman. He is a special individual and has accomplished some extraordinary things already in his young career. He is a class act in the way he conducts himself both on and off the field. You hear no griping or complaining from Clayton; he doesn’t get angry and is a pleasure to judge. It’s not hard to realize that his parents raised him right and have to be very proud of this fine young man.”

“Miss Sharron” also feels he is a special person. The Ashmore’s have adopted Sharron as a part of their family along with Watson and Cooper and our congratulations go out to the entire Ashmore/Watson group. We are sure we will be seeing more of Clayton and Watson in the winner’s circle in the near future.

Each participant received the TOC hat, towel compliments of NSTRA and 10# of Purina Pro Plan from Purina. As always, we thank our sponsors who make this all possible, the trial personnel, the office personnel and the Conservation Birddog Club for all the hard work that goes into any championship event.

HIGHLIGHTS; It was good to have several people visit us for the trial. Dean Reinke-Purina, Todd Kellam and Sara Chisnell-Voight – UKC, Dion Bliss – Red Haw Supply were all on hand. Don’t forget to use the Purina products, register your dogs with UKC and buy your sporting clothing from Red Haw. These sponsors are part of the backbone of NSTRA so please utilize their products or services when you can.

It was good to see Cookie on hand to visit for the day Thursday and see how well she looks. We missed Nancy and Brandy Ashmore and know that they were at home wishing they were in Indiana. Sam and Sharron did keep the Florida region abreast of what was happening minute by minute.

The Sterner boys, also from Florida, got a mite cold when the heater in their pop-up camper ran out of gas. Those guys aren’t use to this Indiana weather and they quickly called for gas the next morning. You do know their initials are GAS – George Alphonsus Sterner. What a hoot.

David Deaton always has something to add to a trial and this time was no exception. Trying to fool the marshal and judge just doesn’t always work, huh David? There’s a story to this, so be sure to ask David sometime.

Also coming to visit were Shelby, Lucy and Lucas. It’s great to have the young people come out to watch the trial, and even better when a young person wins; makes it even more special. We could hear them in the background yelling “Go Clayton”.

And last, but not least – The Top Four consisted of a Brittany, German Shorthair, Setter and Pointer – a fairly well rounded group. Hope to see everyone at the UKC Performance Trial and have a great summer.

ENDURANCE CLASSIC

WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 61 I G

My name is Grizzly. I am a good boy. When I was a puppy there was a choosing ceremony. A man and his wife came to the ranch. I played with the man’s shoelaces. He picked me up and I rested my head on his shoulder. Then I hugged him. He turned his head to the woman who would become my mother and said, “I want this one.” I was the only puppy in the litter with a name because I was the pick of the litter. My name has always been Grizzly. I chose my Dad and he chose me.

I am a bird dog. I like to point at birds. I like to carry birds in my mouth and I love to give them to my Dad. When I was a teenager, my Dad took me to classes to learn how to be a hunting dog. I was very shy and did not do well in class. Everyone watched me and it bothered me so I did not hunt. One day the teacher placed a bird in front of me and released the bird. The teacher told my Dad, “Release your dog”. Dad took me off my lead and said, “Hunt'em up Grizzly!” I ran after that bird. As I ran, the rest of the world disappeared. It was just me and the bird. We were both flying away. I ran a good mile into the stark Mojave Desert. I was a speck on the horizon and the class could barely see me through binoculars. Then I turned and made a mad run back. I ran with force, with the wind in my fur and the sun on my back. I ran with joy, with freedom and with a sense of purpose. You could have heard a pin drop when I placed the live game bird in the palm of my father’s hand. He was so proud when he handed the bird back to the teacher, without a drop of spit. I had the longest retrieve and the softest mouth. I have always been a good boy.

I was ready for my first hunting test. It was a lot of fun. I cleared the field of birds and my Dad had so many birds he was handing them to the judges because he could not carry any more. The Judge from Arizona jumped off of his horse and shook my Dad’s hand thanking him for bringing me to the hunt test. I was the best dog he ever saw. My first test as a Junior Hunter I scored all tens. My last test as a Master Hunter, I scored all tens. My Dad was proud of me. I am a good boy.

I am a handsome Brittany. I have a big block head, a square muscular body, and have a saddle of orange on my back and sides. My Aunt, who is also my obedience teacher, sent my picture in to a company and they liked me. Then she took me to Smashbox Studios in Hollywood and I became a super model. I was good enough to grace the cover of a bag of dog food for an international company; then modeled for a different brand of dog food two years later. I was called back because I am handsome, I follow instructions and because I am a good boy.

A year ago I lost ten pounds. I was 50 pounds and then all of the sudden I was 40 pounds. I am an active dog and I like to run a lot. Lots of tests were run and repeated but nothing showed up. My parents bought me special food to help me gain weight, but I never did. Then they took me on a trip and I went all over the western United States. I have been to Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and throughout California. I have run in the deserts of California, Idaho and Oregon. My paws have touched the glacier waters of the high Sierras and I have walked the sandy beaches from Cambria to Malibu. I have gone on these trips because I am loved and because I am a good boy.

In January I got very sick. My parents took me to the emergency

room because my legs were shaking uncontrollably. I was having a hypoglycemic attack. The next day I went to see a special Doctor and he took pictures of the inside of my body. The pictures showed that I have

lots of tumors. It was cancer. The cancer started in my pancreas and spread to my stomach and liver. One big tumor pushed on my heart. My parents were told I had two weeks to live. They cried because they love me and because I am a good boy.

After I was diagnosed, my parents tried to recreate the best days of my life. They took me to lakes, the desert and the beach. I even went hunting and carried a bird for the last time. When I could no longer run, my Mom put bird feeders in front of the window and the quail came and ate right next to me. I

stared at them and wiggled my nose and remembered the days when I carried them in my mouth.

I lived much longer than the two week prediction. After two months I was still doing fine. Then a couple weeks later, I got really sick. I could not eat and when I did I had diarrhea. My Dad was recovering from a surgery so my Mom went outside to dig my grave. I sat next to her while she dug a big hole. The deeper she dug the more interested I became in the process. I started to dig too. Pretty soon, we were both digging together. I was digging for a squirrel and she was digging and crying, until she noticed what I was doing. Then she started to laugh. It was not time for me to go, so the grave remained empty for two more weeks. The only thing in that grave was my Mom’s dried tears and the echoes of her laughter, because I am a good boy.

On what would be my last full day, my Mom took me to the lake. I love the lake. There are lots of birds, bunnies and lizards. She walked me a short distance and saw that I was tired so we went back to the car. She drove me slowly around the lake, with the windows down, so I could smell everything that I love. When we got home, my right eye rolled backwards because a tumor was pushing on my optic nerve. The cancer had gone to my brain. The next morning, I was completely blind and I was scared. My Dad carried me the same way he did the day he brought me home. I rested my head on his shoulder and hugged him. He placed me in the car and rolled down the windows so that I could smell the horses, cows and birds. He drove me to the place where I took obedience classes, the place where I first learned to be a good boy. My Uncle works there and gave me a sedative. My eyes returned to normal and suddenly I could see that bird I chased when I was a teenager. It flew in front of me. Then I heard the teacher say, “Release your dog” and I remember what my Dad had said so long ago, “Hunt’em up Grizzly!” As I ran, the rest of the world disappeared. It was just me and that bird. I chased that bird into the sky. I ran with force, with the wind in my fur and the sun on my back. I ran with joy, with freedom and with a sense of purpose. I was a young dog again, strong, bold and handsome. I am and have always been a good boy. I ran to the place where rainbows are made. After each rain, look at the rainbow in the sky. I am the color orange. (R.I.P. Grizzly Discoveries, MH, aka Grizzly Benoit, August 4, 2005-April 1, 2014) n

Another year has come and gone...Another year has come and gone and we wonder where the time

went. We think back to every trial and see how it was spent. From the hot days of summer to the cooler days of fall, then the wet cold winter, the toughest of it all. Thru heat, rain and snow the trials must go on. We do it with a purpose to which we all are drawn. Now spring is in the air a year has soon passed by. It’s time for the Regional, and for us one last try. For some of us our dogs are old and they’re not the only ones; but for others their dogs are young and they have just begun.

The date is set and time is here for us to meet for the last time this year. We wake up early at the break of dawn roll call is answered and the trial is drawn. The braces are drawn as we hear the familiar call, “we will start in a few minutes good luck to you all”. Handlers get your dogs and in the blind you go. Field Marshall sends out the bird planter it’s time to start this show.

We sit in the blind with visions of what we hope to do. And alongside of us sits our dogs and they have visions too. Some bark and jump, some are old, some are new but we’re wanting just one thing, and that is to make it thru. “Bring um out” is hollered, the words we love to hear, it’s time to get going but will it be the last this year? As we head to the line we are wandering where we need to go. As we have prayed for divine intervention that our dogs put on a show. “Handlers are you ready, good luck and cut them loose”. The whistle blows and dogs are off, a quick point is heard on the right, another point is heard this just may be a good fight.

Handlers flush and shots are made, retrieves to be done now they both have one. When time is called we gather up to see who won the bout. The score is posted the next brace is out. We got to keep it rolling now back to the board to see who made a showing. The day moves on and now it’s time for lunch. I don’t think that three-three is good enough but hey it’s just a hunch. Some birds are missed and some are bumped a few safety’s too. Wow with all of that who will make it thru. One flew in and one flew out, every trial the same that is what makes it such an exciting game.

All scores are in and posted as everyone wonders who made it, while the winners are being toasted. The top sixteen will run, then cut down to six. After all of this there are only two left in the mix. It’s down to us they say according to the score. But even though we are friends it’s still all-out WAR! Our dogs are rested and now it’s time for the final hour to start. “Handlers and dogs in the blind”, the Field Marshall barks. Both handlers have been here before and are not new to the game. Both dogs are no stranger either everyone knows their name. The field is set the birds are out its time to start the show who will win this Regional we will soon know.

The gallery birds are taken to the left and right they go. Both dogs are hunting hard I hope the gallery likes the show. We are at the halfway point now and still it’s up for grabs. Both handlers are watching each other and keeping tabs. With not much time remaining they meet up on the hill and share with each other what they did in the field. Like two old soldiers that have fought hard against the rest, now they get together and look for what is left. Another find is made, man this should help him out, but will I have enough , one more and they would be no doubt.

Time is called the judges say farewell. Two tired Champion dogs that can’t wag their tail. The champions shake hands and then are congratulated by all of their friends. Another State Regional with fond memories so dear, now we can all go home and prepare for next year! n

The Razorback Field Trial Club and Arkansas / Louisiana Region paid tribute to the founding members of the Arkansas / Louisiana Region on March 22, 2014 for their loyalty and dedication to the sport, region, and their many friends. All were awarded a jacket as a memento of their service and appreciation of the present region members. When members have NSTRA ID#’s in the 4000’s they are truly one of the pioneer members of not only the AR/LA Region but of NSTRA. The day was one of the most memorable and fun of any day in memory at the camp.

Written by: Robert FranksCarroll Evans – A past president of the Arkansas / Louisiana Region and the

Razorback Club Carroll has been an integral part of field trialing in the State of Arkansas since the 1980’s, winning the Region Elimination Championship in 1994 with Firefield Pete. Among Carroll’s favorite dogs were 2X Champion Mac and 1X Champion Penny. Carroll is very well respected by members in the region and is a true friend to all. It can truly be said that Carroll is a man of faith, family and bird dogs.

Jimmy Ferguson – Jimmy is always happy and he gives this gift to others. He is a favorite at trials because he never complains or belittles others. A true Southern Gentleman Jimmy is a treasure to the Region. He can often be seen at trials keeping score and encouraging others.

Larry Ferguson – Who in the AR / LA Region would dispute that Larry is by far the best field marshal in the region and possibly the country. Most members of the region can plainly recall an instance of Larry calling then out by his, “Get your dog and get in the blind.” His requests are followed to the letter as he is so well respected and loved by all.

Bobby Green – Bobby is welcomed at trials because of his Louisiana style of personality. He loves people, good food and good dogs. He is ever popular on the porch for his saying of “A deal is a deal”, and on the starting line for “IT’S SHOW TIME”. Bobby won the Region Elimination Championship in 2004 with Prudhoe’s Who’s Mac and is honored to have Prudhoe’s One Spot in the Arkansas /Louisiana HOF. Always one to ask trailers “how they did” and to complement them on a “job well done” Bobby is truly one of a kind.

Charlie Henry – Eighty-eight years old and still running a dog! Not many can say that. Charlie has campaigned some of the best dogs in the region since its inception. The Thunder Boomer, Stupendous, and Bill Who are in the AR / LA HOF and are examples of his hand as a trainer. He is acknowledged as among the elite in the nation when it comes to force breaking a dog. When needing advice regarding dog training Charlie is the person to turn to. Committed to his friends, family and the Razorback Club Charlie is truly a bird dog man.

Buzz Kemper - If Buzz Kemper has an enemy in the world they are not know to the members of the AR / LA Region. Saying Buzz is well liked is an understatement. Always campaigning some of the most polite and well trained setters in the field trial community, Such as 2X Champion Jill, Buzz’s dogs will always find a bird or two and look good doing it. Buzz won the AR / LA Elimination Championship in 2005 with Dick’s Blue Emerald and is honored to have Jill’s Cripple Wing in the AR / LA HOF. He is committed to his friends, faith and family.

Donnie Parker – Donnie is one of the best and most requested judges in the country. He has judged countless region and national trials. Integrity is a word many would associate with Donnie; he is always fair with his scores and looks only at the work of the dog and not who the handler might be. Parker’s Skywalker, Donnie’s prize dog won the region championship in 1989. Dedicated to his family, judging and the Saint Louis Cardinals Donnie is a member who has earned respect.

Jimmy Potter – Jack, Jimmy’s 8x Champion, Region Elimination Champion and AR /LA HOF, is often the topic of conversation when Jimmy is around. Jimmy also trained and campaigned My Main Scatt, a member of the AR / LA HOF. Working tirelessly as Secretary / Treasurer of the Razorback Club and AR/LA Region Jimmy makes sure the club and region always had enough money to operate, even in lean years. To be sure, Jimmy puts on the best porch seminars in the southeast. His passion for his family and bird dogs still burns hot to this day.

P.A. Shockley – P.A. has run and judged in many of the region’s trials. He served as the Secretary Treasurer of the Razorback club and the AR/LA Region. His jokes at the region elimination trial are legendary as his sense of humor and friendly demeanor. One of his best dogs was Potters Buddy, a beautiful liver and white pointer who could run out of the country. P.A. never meets a stranger, loves his family, faith and Saint Louis Cardinals.

George Simpson – A driving force behind NSTRA field trials in Louisiana for many years George has earned the respect of his fellow trialers in the region. Nell was probably George’s prize dog as she was one of the most consistent bird finders of her time. Always honest and forthright George loves his family, God and state and has been an asset to the region for many years.

J.D. West – In visiting with J.D. the name of Teka will most likely be brought up in any conversation. A 4X Champion, Region Elimination Champion and member of the AR /LA Region HOF, Teka was one of the best dogs to ever run in the region. J.D. served as president of the Razorback Club and AR/LA Region for many years and gave many hours of his time to see that the grounds at Monticello were in top condition for trials. J.D. is a man of principle, commitment and family.

Dale Williams – A former region president Dale was instrumental in helping the WestArk club make the transition from NBH to NSTRA. He won the Arkansas / Louisiana Region Championship in 1998 with My Precious Ruby, Dale’s brag dog. Always one to be a friend and helpful to all, Dale is welcome where ever he goes in the field trial world. There are many members of the region who consider it an honor to call Dale Williams their friend.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN The 2013 Northern Illinois and Wisconsin Regions

Cheesehead ChallengeThey came, they ran, they kicked some puppy tails!

The 2013 Cheesehead Challenge was issued by the (FIBS) Illinois Boys & Girls of the Northern Illinois NSTRA Region and the Cheeseheads of the Wisconsin NSTRA Region answered.

The Challenge took place on the weekend of October 5th and 6th, 2013 at the Rooster Heaven Game Farm Trial grounds in Forest, IL. The top sixteen dogs from each region were drawn against each other in a double/double two day event. Points were given to the winner of each pairing based on where the dog finished from 32 points for first place down to 1 point for 32 place on A and B fields each of the two days. The top three in each field also received their NSTRA points, a special trophy plaque shaped like Wisconsin joined to the Northern top of Illinois, and the Purina and UKC award coupons (not to mention bragging rights). At the end of the two day trial points were tallied and the Cheeseheads emerged victorious. Their region will also take home a traveling trophy for their efforts, but the Fine Illinois Boys & GirlS have vowed to win it back in 2014.

Both region members had the most fun putting this trial together and running in it. There was lots of good natured trash talking and joking around. Co-chairmen of the trial, Steve Rossman and James Kisner did an excellent job planning and executing the event! The members of both clubs send out a special thanks to them for all the hard work and time spent. Can’t wait to do it again this fall!

A dreary and not-so-great day for trialing! At the start of Sunday, Lone Star had a narrow lead over Gulf Coast with West Texas 3rd & Oklahoma bringing up the rear. Conditions had changed drastically. The temperature had dropped 50 degrees during the night and sleet & snow were forecasted to arrive after lunch. There was not much visiting going on now – most people were huddle wherever there was some fire or warmth. The sleet did arrive on time making the competition seem less important than just getting out of the elements.

The results:QUAD A field Sunday:1st – Hook / Jerimy Pence 909.52nd – J R / Wes Barr 663.53rd – Levi / Dave Morgan 654.54th – Macy / Dale Heaton 652.5

The 2014 Quad Challenge – Champion was the Lone Star region. The QUAD challenge high point dog was Toebee Montana to Texas owned & handled by Dale Heaton (LST). Congratulations Lone Star! A HUGE thanks to Frank Dunn for allowing us to use his ranch for this fun game. The 2015 QUAD will be hosted by Gulf Coast & we can’t wait but hope the weather is a lot better.
