Letter from the President
Welcome to the 30th Annual HWA Airedale Field Nationals!
This Nationals has been a long-time-coming – 30 years, in fact! As we
celebrate HWA’s 30th Anniversary this weekend, many of us who’ve been
coming for a while look back on good times, good friends, and great
Airedales we’ve known, thanks to this club. The influx of new and
enthusiastic participants in recent years gives us hope that HWA will be
going strong 30 years from now, with new generations of Airedale pups
taking their place in our stories and history.
HWA has survived -- and in a real sense revived – through the dedication of
Airedalers who believe in the Airedale as a versatile hunting dog. Along the
way, we value the knowledge and experience of participants who are trueblue dog trainers, breeders, and/or hunters. We also realize that many
Airedale owners come to the Nationals to learn more about the breed; to see
how their dog does; or just to have fun surrounded by Airedales and the
people who love them. The development of the Nationals into a 3-day
weekend full of hunt tests, workshops, and fun events is an effort to have
something for everyone, no matter your level of experience or interest. You
don’t have to be hunter to enjoy Hunting/Working Airedales, but as your
Airedale pulls you through the weekend, you may well appreciate how
strong the hunter’s heart beats in most Airedales.
On a “people” level, this club makes an effort to welcome newcomers as
well as welcome back Airedalers returning after some time. From the start
of weekend at Thursday’s Hospitality Evening; through the Annual
Meeting to be held at a new time this year at 4:30 pm on Friday at Holly
Hills; to our famed Banquet and Auction evening on Saturday evening,
you’ll have many chances for getting-to-know-you conversations and, we
suspect, some laughter and Airedale story-telling.
Thank you for joining in our 30th Anniversary Nationals! And a very special
Thank You to all who have contributed time, talent, money, and hard work
to make this weekend so special. So check the weekend’s schedule in this
catalog, and let’s go have some fun!
Chris Halvorson
HWA President
30th Annual Airedale Field Nationals
6
Welcome to the Airedale Field Nationals
The Airedale came to America shortly after its development in
England in the last half of the 19th century. In the first part of the
20th century, Americans’ appreciation of the Airedale’s hunting
heritage was summarized in 1916 by Warren H. Miller (longtime
editor of Field and Stream) in his classic book The American Hunting
Dog. “On the borderline between the bird dog and the fur dog
stands the Airedale,” Miller wrote, “…the dog that can hunt both …
and the one who can and is being successfully trained to hunt
everything alive that can be hunted.”
The Airedale enjoyed widespread popularity in America at the start
of the 20th century. In addition to its hunting abilities, the breed’s
reputation built on its fame as a war dog in WWI and its exploits as a
big game hunter in the American West. Over time, demographics
and society changed, and Airedale popularity shifted to a much
smaller fan base who maintained the breed mainly as companions
and home protectors.
On this 30th Anniversary of the HWA Nationals, we celebrate the
movement among Airedale fanciers to restore attention to the breed’s
original purpose as a versatile hunting and working dog, and to
prove that the Airedale still maintains the breed’s original instincts
and abilities. Airedale Terriers may now compete in AKC Spaniel
Hunt Tests and UKC-based Hunting Retriever Club [HRC] Hunt
Tests, as well as Airedale-only hunt tests. Your participation in these
Airedale field events shows us your understanding that Airedale
inclinations go way beyond the couch and backyard. Thank you for
being here!

Judge’s Biographies
Fur Judges
Lawrence Alexander
I have been breeding Airedales for 41 years and have been
involved in all types of hunting with them -- upland, tracking,
obedience, agility etc.; my favorite is upland. I have had some
great dogs over the years. I have been involved with HWA for
over 25 years and have judged in a number of categories. I look
forward to seeing many of my old friends and meeting new
ones, also seeing some great dogs. Once you have owned an
Airedale you will always have a special place in your heart for
them.
Chris Halvorson
My husband Tom and I discovered the Hunting/Working
Airedale movement in the early 1990s. I got so excited about
seeing Airedales work that I started snapping photos of them
and haven’t stopped since. For many years I was a pro
photographer specializing in the conformation dogs and
hunting Airedales. With the retirement of our photography
business, we have time to train our own Airedales. We have
owned Airedales since 1976, with several conformation
champions, obedience-titled dogs, and most fun of all, hunting
titles. I now serve as president of HWA, Inc.

Upland Judges
John Dudash
I live northeast of Gahanna, Ohio with my two English
Springer Spaniels (Shiny and Rainy) my Brittany (Windy) and
my wife. I have been an avid hunter and fisherman since my
teens, in other words a long time. I got my first Springer,
Shiny, about 6 years ago and started training with Brent
LeMaster and the Ohio Valley English Springer Club about the
same time. Shiny and I finished our senior title and master title
within a year, having skipped the junior title. The jump from
senior to master was not easy and we did not get a leg from
the first master events, and it took two events to get that last
leg. Shiny and I are now working on Master Advanced; we
have two legs towards that title. I have started with my second
Springer, Rainy, participating in field trials. I am relatively new
I have learned what it takes to be successful, when to reward
success, and when to encourage and praise effort. I am looking
forward to seeing the dogs and handlers work and having fun.
Salvatore (Sam) Stazzone
I’m a life-long resident of northern Ohio, and I’ve been
hunting since I got my first .410 shotgun when I was 8 years
old. I spent 6-8 years with Foxhounds and Coonhounds, then
the next 30 years with Labs. For the last 13 years, my interest
has been in hunting and participating in field trials with
English Springer Spaniels.
I’ve been participating and judging hunter trials for about
10-15 years. I’ve been an AKC judge licensed to judge Upland
Hunt Tests for about a year. My newest dog is a Cocker
Spaniel pup named Snookey.

Retriever Judges
Leslie Phillips
I have always been interested in nature and the out-of-doors.
Following my B.S., M.S. in Natural Resources from O.S.U., I
spent 34 years with Columbus Metro Parks as a Naturalist,
Ranger, and Assistant Park Manager.
In 1992 I got my first Flat-Coated Retriever and really started a
hobby with dog competition such as obedience, agility, show,
and hunt testing. I am now starting on my 6th Flat-Coated
Retriever, and while I am not as active with the other venues, I
still love the training, competition, and social interaction
involved in hunt testing. Becoming an A.K.C. Hunt Test Judge
helped so much in my dog training. I still hunt over my dogs
as well.
16
Judge’s Biographies
(Continued)
Ed Zawodny
I started hunting with my father a long time ago when I was
10 years old. We had dogs nearly all of my life, but I only
discovered hunting with retrievers about 20 years ago when a
friend, with a well trained retriever, invited me to go duck
hunting. That day got me hooked on retrievers. Competing
and hunting with retrievers has since become a passion.
In 2001, my wife and I got our first Flat-Coated Retriever, and
the rest is history. We currently have 2 Flat-Coats that I upland
and waterfowl hunt with. But, we also compete in
Conformation, Obedience and Field with these same dogs.
Both dogs have titles in all three areas, all owner trained and
handled.
I started judging retriever events about 10-years ago. I am
currently:
AKC licensed hunt test judge for all levels (Junior, Senior and
Master), UKC licensed hunt test judge for the Started level
and soon to be at the Seasoned level and approved to judge
breed field events (WC, WCI, WCX) for Flat-Coats, Goldens,
Labs, Nova Scotia Duck Tollers.

Workshop Presenter
Bridget Bodine
Bridget has had a lifelong career with animals. She started
working with Hunter/Jumper horses, working for notables
such as Tiffany Teeter (Traurig) and Harry Duce, in Bucks
County, PA. Her 25 year career in dogs started when she
started worked with top professional show dog handlers Greg
and Kim Strong. Bridget started as a show assistant and
quickly moved to obedience training and then to kennel
manager. After numerous years with Greg and Kim, Bridget
chose to apprentice with Mary Williams at High Tide Kennels
to learn more about retriever and gun dog training. From 2001
to 2008 Bridget worked with DeCoverly as Kennel Manager
and head Trainer, training pointing dogs, retrievers and all
breed obedience. Bridget has been training retrievers for 20
years and has titled numerous JH, SH and several MH dogs in
the AKC hunt test program as well as teaching clients how to
train their own dogs to these same levels. She and her dog
Crosby, recently ran their very first retriever field trial at the
qualifying stake and got second place out of a 31 dog entry,
which qualified Crosby to run all age events.

Traymar Airedales
Some make their mark in hunting Airedales by efforts in
the field. Some make their contribution before pups
even hit the ground.
CH Traymar Westchester Pearljam
Eddie is a leading sire of both performance and
conformation Airedales, with numerous obedience- and
agility-titled progeny, as well as conformation champions.
He passes on exceptional drive and ability to his hunting
offspring, as shown by two current HWA participants:
