I would like to give a special thanks to all of the staff who made the event a success!! Without all your hard work and dedication, we could never had made it as enjoyable as it was. And to all of our sponsors, we are humbly grateful for all your support for our organization! UKC, Purina, and Roosterwear all had a presence at our trial and we certainly appreciate all they do for us! We continue to make progress throughout NSTRA: Membership continues to increase with the changes we have made to the website, social media, and ease of payment, the database reconfiguration is continuing to take shape, and we are gaining some ground on future sponsorships. Hopefully all of these combined together will start taking some shape throughout our clubs and regions later this fall and next spring. We all hate the wait, but progress is good!! As we enter the fall trial season, please remember, as an organization, we are only as strong as our weakest link. The clubs and regions are the life line for our sport. Be supportive, encourage, stay positive, be leaders, and most of all, HAVE FUN!! Too many times we get caught up in the competition and lose sight of what’s really important….our dogs!

WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 7 i g August/September 2013 i 8 i www.nstra.org WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 9 i g A Hairy Home Companion Dear Boomer, Is it true that hunting dogs should not be treated as pets? — Garrison K. By: Drew Wahlin Few people realize the abundance of ptarmigan and grouse in Alaska, and even fewer are familiar with the lives of these fascinating upland birds. I spent the summers of 2010 & 2011 in prime ptarmigan rangelands of Alaska’s Interior-Fairbanks. The ptarmigan hunting season starts on the same date as caribou season each year on August 10th. One planning a trip to hunt Alaska’s ptarmigan must also plan on doing some fantastic grayling fly-fishing within tundra country. Ptarmigan are an excellent eating bird much like sweet flavor of the darker meat of the Hungarian partridge, and “fresh” deep fried grayling is also a delegacy. Dear Garrison, Mark Twain summed it up when he wrote, “Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.” Letting your hunting dog be in the house with you will not hurt his desire to hunt. In fact the bond between the two of you might be strengthened. Hunting dogs should be treated with great respect! Hunting dogs go to work in the night, day, rain, snow, heat, and the dirt. Some chase boars, cougars, foxes and coyotes. Hunting dogs are fearless, strong, persistent, and loyal. What do humans give them in return? At best, dogs get a tight box with lots of straw, plenty of food, fresh water, regular work and a few “attaboys”. You should not treat dogs as humans in fur coats. Such treatment leads to confusion on the part of the dog which often leads to behavior problems. Dogs need regular work to do. It doesn’t matter what the work is as long as we get out with a human every day for an hour or so. Just a walk is enough to keep up a dog’s health as well as a human’s. Training, whether for the field, for the home or for amusement also counts as work. Goodbye to you, Garrison, from Litchfield, where all the humans are above average and all the bird dogs can point, back, and retrieve. — Boomer Upland Bird Hunting Series Ptarmigan Hunting in Alaska There are three general types of ptarmigan found in Alaska: willow ptarmigan, rock ptarmigan and white-tailed ptarmigan (unique to North America). All of Alaska’s ptarmigan can be found commingled within any habitat region. The Alaska F&G Office in Fairbanks is an excellent source of information as well as the Alaska Department’s F&G Website (wildlife.alaska.gov). Ptarmigan country is also moose and grizzly bear country, so be prepared to encounter a lot of wildlife on your upland bird odyssey. High-tech outdoor clothing is a must and several knowledgeable Alaska outfitting stores can be found in Fairbanks. Weather is also a major factor when doing any outdoor adventure in Alaska’s wilderness, plan for the unexpected (i.e. snow in August). Fitness is a key element for ptarmigan hunting in the tundra (like walking on a mattress for miles), so any planned trip must take into account a 4 month training program-hiking in tundra country will be much more difficult than you had planned. Alaska, like Idaho, is facing increasing pressure by hunters, winter recreational activities, fire suppression, logging/mining, livestock grazing, and agriculture all affecting the living conditions for wildlife. The future is uncertain if Alaska/Idaho can maintain healthy ptarmigan and chukar populations as part of their natural legacy and depends on their foresight, recognition of wildlife’s values, and their ability to execute well planned, long-term wildlife management programs. Climate change/global warming adds another whole new dimension to the discussion on long-term strategic planning for their upland bird populations. Questions: please feel free to contact Idaho Chukar Foundation at [email protected] for additional information on ptarmigan hunting or grayling fly-fishing in Alaska’s Interior.

August/September 2013 i 12 i www.nstra.org The Know! t we feel is News athnat to everyone. import Top Performance Award Criteria RULE CHANGE: Revised July 2013 The following rule change was voted on by the membership and approved. Changes to current rule are in bold. Please make note of this is your current rule books. Dogs must have at least 20 open points from June 1 through May 31 for the applicable 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 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. 3.01 A back is defined as when the dog “sees” the other dog pointing, he stops and remains stationary until released by the judge and/or handler or if the pointing dog breaks into a hunting mode. 7/13 Back must be called by handler before judge can score a creditable back. 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, 3rd – 750, etc.). In addition, 100 bonus points will be awarded to the Champion, 75 for the second place dog, 50 for third and 24 for fourth. * * In the event a handler is unable to see a dog backing, the judge will begin judging the back and advise the handler that his dog is backing. The judge may hold the backing dog at his discretion. If the judge believes that the second dog did see the pointing dog and did not stop until after he smelled the bird, then a zero back score is awarded. 7/13 Interpretation: Same as find: if the judge is aware the dog is backing, do not disallow the back if handler fails to call back. 4/93 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. *This change makes each National Trial count the same amount as per the regions’ request. It also allows points to be given to each dog in the Saturday morning cut as per the original suggested format. It will weigh the two trials that take 32 to Saturday with a greater percent for mid-range dogs but those are the trials that a dog must make an extra cut on Saturday so it is relevant. It also weighs the final fours more. TOP PERFORMANCE: The NSTRA Board of Directors voted to change the criteria of the Top Performance Award starting June 1, 2013. After much discussion and many suggestions, a revision was sent to the board to amend the original criteria. The following is the final criteria as approved by the NSTRA Board of Directors effective retroactively to June 1, 2013. ** This change makes each regional count the same so larger regions will not receive an advantage.

Several members qualified and advanced at the Regionals in Stuttgart, AR and one of our members, Deion Sanders with Judy, won Regionals and is headed for Amo this fall!! NAQC is extremely proud of Deion and Judy! North Arkansas Quail Club strives to have the best fields for NSTRA Trials in the 2013/14 season. A “work day” held on 18 May was enjoyed by several of our members, planting new grasses and ridding the fields of unwanted weeds and thistles. Our fields will be maintained and fertilized throughout the summer/fall located at Feathers & Gunpowder Preserve in Newburg, AR. Planned improvements were discussed and everyone agreed to make NAQC the best NSTRA Trial host possible. Our members can barely contain their excitement over last season’s success and can hardly wait for next season! Our first NSTRA Trial will be held 12 & 13 October 2013 and we anticipate a full trial both days. You can find more information on NAQC NSTRA Trials at our website: http:// northarkquailclub.com. Volunteers for our “work day”: L.D. Moser, Heath Blankenship, Kelly Batterton, Kevin Scribner, Lewis Burson, Max Blankenship and Deb Meline.

We were struggling to make an 18 dog field but within the last two weeks before the trial we had many first time NSTRA members enter dogs. To advertise the trial we used Texas Independent Bird hunters’ Association newsletter and Texas Hunters Forum web site. We tried to be careful not to advertise outside of hunting oriented groups. After sending out the draws, I attempted to call all the first time NSTRA members to insure they will be at the trial grounds on time. Also I had a mock trial the week before the trial and some instructional mock braces the day before the trial. Lone Star Texas (LST) region members couldn’t have been more pleased with the results of the trial. We had 30 dogs in two fields signed up for the trial. We only had one no-show. Out of the top 3 placements per field (a total of 6 placements) we had 4 new members place. Two of the new members signed up for the regional that was only scheduled 2 weeks away. I was at one of the national trials talking about how to encourage more bird hunters to try our sport. There is a lot of push back on Novice trials because of having to run all open dogs in the morning and all novice dogs in the afternoon (Although there is a request to change this novice format ). This causes open and novice dogs to only have a 1 or 2 brace rest. Also some of the open handlers can’t stand the thought of a novice dog beating them. Chad Collison suggested an Amateur Only format. I immediately pushed back and said that the handlers are only interested in OPEN points. Chad said Amateur Only trials are awarded OPEN points. It’s just that first place is not considered first place points. I was skeptical but I looked into it and I was true. This was a perfect way to get new handlers interested in NSTRA. These OPEN points qualify the dogs that place for the regional and national trials that are based on regional points. I counted up all the amateur dogs I could think of and determined if we could have an 18 dog/2 point trial it would be worth the effort. That would allow up to 4 new dogs qualify for the regional. The trial date was set 2 weeks before the regional. The entry fee was only $25 per dog where this only covers the cost of birds and the trial grounds.

Thanks and have a great weekend. 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. The American Brittany The Bird Dog Foundation, Inc. is a unique non-profit entity unlike any other.

When Jim got Bullet's Lady Brenna (Brenna), she stayed in the house until she was crate trained, house broken and spoiled rotten by me. Once he started training her, it was out to the kennels she was sent and I was lonesome. I asked Jim if a Brittany would make a good house dog. Jim called Nolan Huffman to see if he had any pups and I was in luck. It wasn't long until Jim arrived at the house with the furry butterball I promptly named Bullet's Ivan the Terrible. He started out in the house but on a whim one day, I decided he might make a good trial dog. After all his daddy was Buddy, Nolan's Last Bullet and his mama came from a long line of horseback trial dogs. Long story short, Nolan trained him, Jim ran him often vowing to never take him on the field again when the horseback genes kicked in, and I started attending the NSTRA trials. At a Dixie Region trial in September, 2002, I decided to run Ivan myself. Jim Gilbertson was my gunner and I was so proud of Ivan as he ran (not hunted) every corner of the field. He found two birds, scored well, and was scored on BIG TIME by Mark Jones's setter. It didn't matter to me. I was hooked and started running him myself. In 2006 four points shy of his first championship, I retired him due to hip dysplasia and he became that house dog I had originally wanted. Because of "the little brown dog" as Jerry Daniels used to call him, I have met some wonderful people and am proud to be part of the NSTRA family. It's your turn now my sweet boy to romp and hunt pain free. Get Dennis Brooks or Jim Gilbertson to take you hunting and know that Jim and I miss you. I'll cherish the 13 1/2 years we had together. n Have a story to share? Send in your regions trial information, photos and articles to the NSTRA office!

WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 29 i g 2013 UKC PERFORMANCE CLASSIC The second running of the United Kennel Club/National Shoot to Retrieve Performance Classic was held from May 28 thru June 1, 2013 at the Rock Creek Field Trial Association grounds near Waverly, Nebraska. UKC now serves as NSTRA’s registry of record and the marriage between UKC and NSTRA is proving to be highly beneficial as time passes. One hundred twenty-six dogs would be showcased during the week with brace winners advancing on Wednesday and Thursday while the Top 8 from 2 fields on Friday would advance to Saturday’s running. Saturday would then revert to brace winner’s advancing once again. The Rock Creek Club had worked diligently to provide the best manicured fields, camping areas, and meals making all in attendance feel welcomed to be visiting Nebraska. A four day pre-trial was held from Saturday thru Tuesday before the championship event with Mike Rost as chairman for Saturday and Sunday and Adam Fellers serving as chairman for Monday and Tuesday. Strong storms and an abundance of rain made for lots of water and plenty of mud for the week with severe storms forecasted daily. A Calcutta was held on Tuesday evening totaling $6100.00 of which 60% would pay back to the top four winners on Saturday and 40% being divided between the club and the NSTRA Scholarship Program. The proceeds going to the Scholarship Fund was $900. Lance Maclennan did a tremendous job as auctioneer and our thanks to him for his part in making the Calcutta a huge success. The Two T’s, Ted Dewey and Tom Tambke, were on hand Wednesday morning for the breakfast patrol and after a hearty breakfast, trial officials met with Trial Chairman, Chad Collison, for some last minute instructions and introductions. Our veteran Championship judge was Donny Parker (AR Region); also judging were Jeff Keck (GA), Cory Perdue (GA), and Chad Calicott (MSM). Bo Marcum (MK) was once again on hand to place birds in the respective fields and Nina Harmon (KY) and Dawn Dewey (MW) served as field marshals. The officials spent 4 wet, muddy days “in the saddle” and are to be commended for their unwavering dedication to our sport in some of the worse conditions possible. After the playing of our National Anthem, Chad and Jeff were at the line for Wednesday’s running and Dawn would marshal. Bo handled birds for both fields and the running follows with ***marked for brace winners: Round 1 1 MI CROSSWIND MICRO CHIP #SR59257607 GSH/M CROSSWIND TRUCKIN FRITZ/RICADEA REBA’S MACK SCOTT TOWNSEND – 787 *** 3xCH IL MOHAWK’S CRUDE DUDE #R234171 ES / M MOHAWK’S TUFF STUFF / SMOKIN MOHAWK’S AMY STEVEN CUNNINGHAM - 455 7XCH 2 MW HACKBERRYS BASSIE #1624776 EP/F FLASH PAN/BAKERS ELHEW ANGEL BOB KONZ/BRUCE MURPHY - 607.5*** 0xCH OH BLUE RIDGE MANDY #1629215 ES / F ANGIE’S DOGWOOD SKIPPER / CUMBERLAND LADY RANDY CUNNINGHAM / HAROLD SMITH - 300 1xCH LST LLANO’S LELANI #SR56315202 GSH / F LLANO’S BIG WHEEL / LLANO’S TAILS AFLAME THOMAS PAULLUS – 801.16*** 0xCH MSM GLOVER’S RECO #1599196 ES / M ANGIE’S DOGWOOD SKIPPER / GLOVER’S NIKKI MARK KOHLBERG - 301 4xCH LST CLARK’S TWO SHOES #R232171 EP / F SWAMI’S BRUTE / LITTLE GUNNER’S LACY ROBERT CLARK / TED COOK – 271 *** 0xCH RM GODFATHERS PEPPER GUNS JETT #20440 BR / M BBB’S LUCKY STRIKE / CAST A BRITT ANNIE KURT LANG - 247 0xCH KY TOMOKA’S SMOKIN X-RATED #1644509 ES / F TOMOKA’S SMOKIN GUN / X-RATED KATIE GREG WOOD – 441 0xCH GCT DYNAMIC ZETA #1613659 EP / F DYNAMIC ZEKE / HILL’S WHITE JENNY STEVEN COPELAND / ROB MARTIN – 450 *** 1xCH 3 4 5 6 BYE DOG BYE DOG 7 MSM KOHLBERG’S BOSSMAN #1627951 ES / M GLOVER’S CHOPPER / BUM’S CRYSTALIZED CARBON A.

The evening meal was prepared by David Paitz and family which was delicious. After the meal, Chad presented the winners and thanked the trial officials for their time and effort. Kenny Fields, Rooster Wear sponsor, was introduced. Kenny was at the trial each day and we appreciate his attendance. Silent auction winners were also announced and the raffle winners were drawn for the $100 gift certificate from Cabela’s, an I-Pad, and a 54” flatscreen TV. The TV was won by Chad Collison who donated it back for another draw. The second name was Tomina Brainard. We saw some familiar faces at the banquet – “old timers” - Bob Incontro, Craig Bolger, Frank Downs, Rod Phipps, and Bob Cunningham – who had lots of “old times” to talk over. These men had trialed together 25-30 years ago and once again enjoyed being together to share stories and “tell lies”. During the evening a bad thunderstorm had blown in and once again we were under water at the trial grounds. It was an early night for many handlers as we knew that come morning they would once again be wading some big-time mud and water. WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 43 i g Thursday morning dawned with thunder clouds and threats of storms in the forecast. The handlers were called to the line at 7:30 and although there was rain and thunder during some morning braces, we were able to keep the trial running throughout the day. By afternoon, the parking lot was actually starting to look like a parking area once again as the sun came shining through and temperatures climbed. Donny, Cory and Nina were the A field officials for Thursday and the 15 braces with brace winners follow: 1 MW SHADOWROCK’S MIGHTY MOUSE #SR53347610 GSH / F AMANDA / RANDY TANGEMAN-423.5 PONDEROSA’S FANCY HANK / CRAWFORD’S SPECKLED HANNAH0xCH IL MOHAWK’S SMOKIN #R234253 ES / M MOHAWK’S TUFF STUFF / B’S MIDNIGHT ROVEN BOB/ STEVEN CUNNINGHAM – 454*** 0xCH KY COPPER’S ELHEW BULL #R234156 EP / M STEPHENS BRIGHT COPPER / VANCE’S ELHEW BEE JIM HARMON – 623.5*** 5xCH MK SAWYERS MAGIC LADY #1629486 EP / F BLACK MAGIC SNAKE / GIGOLO’S SOUTHERN SUSIE BOB SAWYERS – 512.5 0Xch 3 RM PRAIRIE WING RISING STAR #1607310 ES/M TRAIL’S END BAD BOY/I’M GABBIE GERALD WOELFEL - 447 0xCH WI BURR OAKS STOLI #SR17206702 GSH / M AUTUMNS TALL BRUT / ROCK DELL’S PRETTY LITTLE DEVIL TRAVIS TOINTON – 612.5*** 1xCH FL IN GEORGE’S HONOR #1629037 EP/F ACE’S THE MAN/GEORGE’S ELHEW SADIE SAM ASHMORE – 474.5 1xCH MW MOONSHINE’S SLATE CREEK JOE #1624168 EP / M MOONSHINES BAYOU PONCE / BIG COUNTRY SNAP MICHAEL ROST – 653.5 *** 2xCH GCT MAGGIE’S BUB JUST BUB #SR59217503 BR / M SPLIT CREEK’S MEDICINE MAN / REYNA’S CARACARA MAGGIE PARSLEY – 249 0xCH SCR WEATHERED STONE’S SURE SHOT #SR29728109 GSH / F OTIS OF VALHALLA / BUY BACK JOY OF VALHALLA ALAN HIGHAM / CHERYL HIGHAM – 457 *** 2xCH KY PEACHES RIVER DAN #1609661 EP / M ELHEW SIDEWINDER / YELLOW RIVER PEACHES TED COOK / DAVID DEATON – 777.5*** 2xCH WI BURR OAKS ZIGGY #1619553 ES / M LEDGEVIEW SMOKIN ZEKE / LEDGEVIEW SMOKIN JOY SHANE TOINTON – 272.5 0xCH IN ELI’S TRUCKIN LADY #1603204 GSH/F CROSSWIND TRUCKIN FRITZ/SWEETWATER ELLIE EMMA COKE/J.R.COKE - 276 2xCH MK GATOR’S GINGERBREAD #SR51910410 GSH / F JULIE’S THUNDER / WENDEL’S ANNIE OAKLEY WILLIAM BURKHART – 804.5 *** 0xCH IN MAC’S PREDATOR #1616609 EP / M MAC’S SUPER FLY / MAC’S SILHOUETTE JOE JACKSON - 395 1xCH FL STERNDOGS KOOKUS NIKKI #R232755 GSH / F DUKE VON HILFIRE / ABBYLAKES ANNIE GET YOUR GUN TINA STERNER – 613*** 0xCH MSM GLOVER’S CHOPPER #1615281 ES / M BOOMER’S X RATED / GLOVER’S NIKKI A.

Todd Hendrix had purchased rib-eye steaks for anyone wanting to stay at the clubhouse for dinner. Todd, Ted and several other club members were at the grill with the steaks while Dawn prepared baked potatoes and salad. It was a great meal and our thanks to those who helped take care of the preparations on short notice. The skies looked menacing as we were dining on the deck of the clubhouse and those watching the weather forecast notified everyone that we were in for a bad storm. As we were just finishing dinner, the skies opened with rain, hail and wind; once again making a pond out of the parking lot. You’ve never heard a hail storm until you’re under a tin roof; the sound was deafening. Unable to get to the campers or vehicles, we were in the clubhouse until the hail and rain abated and the rainbows appeared. Not one, but a double rainbow. Such a beautiful sight indeed. The rain meant another day of messy fields and more mud, but we were not to be deterred. Round 2 dawned Friday morning with only a slight chance of rain but cooler temperatures; temperatures just right for field trialing. We would feature 15 braces on A field. Trial officials were Cory, Donny and Nina. 1 1 BLACKACRE RAIL HAWK MW EP/M FRANK DOWNS, M.D. – 584.5 TILDI’S OZARK ADDITION MW EP/M JEFF JONES – 653 – 6th 2 2 TGR’S IMPRESSIVE HE IS THE ONE LST GSH/M JOSH MARTIN - 120 MOHAWK’S SMOKIN IL ES/M B.L.

Beat your brace mate would once again be the order of the day for Saturday’s running with 4 braces scheduled for each field. As nothing special was planned for Friday evening, several went to Parker’s BBQ for a phenomenal dinner. Others cooked at their campers, while some went to their respective motels for an early evening. The rain had dissipated for the day Friday and nothing was forecast for Saturday; therefore, we were in hopes that the final championship day would see an improvement in the weather. There’s always a certain amount of excitement on the final day of a championship event and this trial was no different. You could feel the tension in the air as the first brace from each field came to the line.

Chad and Jeff would judge the final hour while both Nina and Dawn would keep a watchful eye on each field. Bo would distribute the 10 birds for the hour throughout both fields. August/September 2013 i 50 i www.nstra.org Roger, Jack, Nose and Adam were called to the line at approximately 3 p.m. and chose A field as their field of choice as the one hour brace began. It wasn’t long before the gallery knew that 4 year old old Nose would best 8 ½ year old Jack to 7 birds compared to Jack’s 2. But giving Jack his due having already ran 2 hours, he did all he could for Roger and had finished with a very respectable 1st runner-up placement. Nose had scored on 7 finds – 97,80,90,92,87,91-90; retrieves – 85,85,40,83,86,86,80; obedience – 65; ground coverage - 87; total 1314 points. Jack scored on 2 finds – 67,63; retrieves 70,A/70; obedience – 60.5; ground coverage – 76.5; and back – 40 totaling 447 points. Everyone gathered at the front of the clubhouse to welcome both handlers and dogs back to the front for a gallery picture with the four winners of the Championship. Sponsors who were on hand for the final day’s running were Sara Chisnell-Voight from UKC, Kenny Fields - Rooster Wear, and Dean Reinke – Purina. Todd Kellam – UKC had joined us for the first 2 days of the trial and as always it’s great to have these special people with us throughout the event. After the gallery picture, all proceeded to the clubhouse for the trophy presentations and our final tribute to the winners. Awards presented to each of the Top Four were gift certificates from Dogs Unlimited, Foster & Smith, and Tri-Tronics; the winners Trophies and Belt Buckles from NSTRA; t-shirts from Rooster Wear; EMT Gel from Trophy Animal Health Care – PBI/Gordon Corporation; Travel Bags and Gun Cases from Boyt Harness; and Cablea’s Gift Certificates from United Kennel Club. Third runner-up was Honky Tonk Cash “Doc”, owned and handled by Chad Collison from the Mid-West Region. Doc is a 6 year old English Pointer Male from Honky Tonk Attitude and Run ‘N’ Gun Blu Jazz. He is a 1 time NSTRA Champion with 33 lifetime points of which 25 are 1st place points. Doc’s first placement came on 3/1/09 at the Greater Utah Pointing Dog Club; he earned his 1st championship on 4/17/11. Dean Reinke presented Chad with 112# of Purina Pro Plan and the Winner’s Jacket along with his other awards presented by Aaron Hunt, Frank Downs and Mike Rost. Although this is Chad and Doc’s first time in the “Place in the Sun”, we’re sure this won’t be the last. Congratulations to Chad, Doc and Tate “Chuck Norris” for a great week. Second runner-up was also a Mid-West Region member, Shaun Rydl with Skipper’s Bandit, a 7 year old tri-colored English Setter Male. Bandit is from Angie’s Dogwood Skipper and Glover’s Nikki. He has posted 118 lifetime points of which 72 are first place points. He is a 6 time NSTRA Champion earning his first championship on 10/2/2010. Bandit’s first placement was during an Amateur Trial at the 4 Star Plantation on 11/29/2008. From that first placement Bandit never looked back. In April, 2011 he placed 3rd during a qualification run at the Trial of Champions in Amo, Indiana. In May, 2011 Bandit won the Mid-West Regional Championship and in April 2012 placed 2nd during a qualification run at the Trial of Champions. In May 2012 during a qualification run at the UKC Performance Classic Championship he earned a first place berth and again at the 2013 Mid-West Regional Championship was 3rd runner-up. Shaun also received the Winner’s Jacket and 112# of Pro Plan from Dean along with the presentation of other awards from Ted Dewey, Kenny Fields, and Sara Chisnell-Voight. Congratulations to a great team and special friend. Kickapoo’s Jackpot, an 8 ½ year old English Setter Male, was the first runner-up. Jack is owned and handled by Roger Parient from the Indiana Region. Jack is from Kickapoo’s Smokin Max and Kickapoo’s Flaming Roxy. He is a 4 time NSTRA Champion and is credited with 87 points of which 39 are first place points. Jack’s first placement came in February 2007 at the Conservation Birddog Club in Amo, Indiana. He earned his first NSTRA Championship on 2/17/2008. Jack’s other accomplishments were placements in the following qualification rounds of National Trials; 2008 - placement at the Quail Forever, TOC and Grand National; 2009 – Quail Forever and TOC; 2010 – 4th during the Indiana Regional Final and qualification run at the Dog of Year Trial; 2012 – TOC Qualification Round; and 2013 a placement during the Quail Invitational qualification. Having been close several times, this was Jack’s first time in the Top Four and deservedly so. In addition to 225# of Purina Pro Plan and the Winner’s Jacket presented by Dean and other awards previously listed, Roger was also the recipient of a pair of W. C Russell Bird Shooter Boots. These boots are hand crafted to fit and a welcomed gift to our list of awards. Congratulations to Roger and Jack for an awesome show of consistent bird work throughout the week. Who says “If you can’t keep up with the young dogs, stay on the porch”. Jack kept up just fine and had an incredible day. WINNER: Quail Valley’s Nose Knows was the winner of the 2013 UKC/NSTRA Championship Classic, owned and handled by Adam Fellers – Mid-West Region member. Nose is from 13 time NSTRA Champion Premier’s Fancy Trail Blazer and Pointing Home Major League. She is a 4 year old German Shorthair Female and an 11 time NSTRA Champion. Quite an impressive list of championships behind this infamous female. Nose has 202 lifetime points of which 126 are first place points. Her first placement came on 3/12/2011 and her first championship on 3/24/12; only one year from her first placement. Adam and Nose have traveled extensively, trialing in many regions throughout her career and she is always a force to be reckoned with. In 2012 at the UKC Performance Classic Nose earned a 1st place during a qualification round only to go on to win the 1st runner-up berth the following day. In 2013 she placed during a qualification run at the Trial of Champions in Amo, Indiana only to go on to place 2nd runner-up at the Championship Finals the next day. And here we go again – placing 2nd during a qualification round of the 2013 UKC Championship Classic and continuing on the winning the National Trial on the following day. Seems she’s making a habit of this. In addition to the above mentioned awards, Dean presented Adam and Nose with 450# of Purina Pro Plan and the Winner’s Jacket, after which Chad made the Tri-Tronics presentation – the Pro 500 G2 Collar. Kenny presented Adam a Winner’s Jacket from Rooster Wear and Adam also received a $400 Cabela’s gift certificate donated WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 51 i g by the Rock Creek Birddog Club and 2-hole dog box from Owens Products, Inc. Nose is also the recipient of the 2013 Top Performance Award which will be presented at the Dog of the Year Trial in October. Congratulations to this fine German Shorthair and also a special NSTRA family, Adam, Nikki, Nolan and Evan “Obie”. We’ve heard it said more than once “that’s one of the hardest running German Shorthairs we’ve ever seen”. Nose covers the ground in a special way that makes you want to watch and see what she does next. And she continues to amaze judges and galleries alike. Best Wishes from the NSTRA Family to Adam and Nose. SIDELIGHTS: It was such an incredible trial that we cannot say enough good things about the group of people who were responsible for helping to make the trial one for the history books. A great breakfast and lunch were served each day. The menu consisted of the Two T’s Breakfast on Wednesday with Tangeman Taco’s for lunch which were fabulous. Thursday was the Hanson Family’s Italian lunch with garlic bread. Bob Incontro and Dave Lathrop did blueberry pancakes on Friday morning – no charge – compliments of Dave. Friday lunch was the Hendrix Family Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans with the best cookies ever. And to top off an incredible week, Lupey Hickey and sister served homemade cinnamon rolls and breakfast burritos for breakfast with an enchilada dinner for lunch including rice, cheese and fried beans. INCREDIBLE Thanks to Ron Huels for a quick trip to Nebraska – while there he was able to solicit judges and entries for the Shriner’s Trial to be held October 11-13, 2013 in Illinois. Also, thanks to Bob Cunningham for his gift of 25# of peanuts. They sure make a mess, but people love them. Each entrant received a goody bag with the UKC Performance Classic hat from NSTRA and a $20 gift certificate from Cabela’s compliments of UKC, Purina Pro Plan and Biscuits from Purina and EMT Gel from Trophy Animal Health Care – PBI/Gordon Corporation. We’re sure the only one enjoying the mud and water was Bo Marcum. He must have enjoyed it - he was covered with it all day, every day. The ladies made a showing on Monday and Tuesday of the Pre-Trial with Cheryl Higham and Tina Sterner both winning 1st place positions with their German Shorthair Females. Cheryl, Tina and Maggie Parsley each beat their brace mate advancing to Friday’s running also. The Women of NSTRA are making a showing – move over guys. And last but not least – let me tell you about Paul Phipps’ dog Boogie’s retrieve. I don’t often see too much of what goes on at the trials, but I happened to be standing on the deck waiting for score cards when I saw Paul’s dog pointed at the front of B field. The bird was flushed and flew across the road with the dog right on his tail. As the bird flew to the top of the berm, Boogie jumped in the air to catch the bird, but fell out of sight. We all knew that at the bottom of that berm was a flooded creek and the water was rushing at break-neck speed. Chad was judging and immediately rode to the top of the hill to see what had happened. He saw Boogie jump in the water after the bird and was being carried down the stream. Having gone quite some distance in the water, he was finally able to get to shore, climb back up the steep creek bank and take the bird to Paul. Now this was worth 99 points but when he didn’t even shake the water from his back Chad’s mind was made up – 100 points and quite deservedly. A story for the ages to be told many, many times. Again, thanks to the people at Rock Creek for a great week, thanks to the trial officials and chairman and cochairman, Mike Rost, and of course to our sponsors who make this all possible. Also, thanks to the owners and handlers for their unending devotion to our sport. n ARTICLES, PICTURES, TRIALS AND MORE! Deadline for the next publication is September 3, 2013 Send all info you would like published to the home office, Email: [email protected] Remember to send high resolution photos in jpg format August/September 2013 i 52 i www.nstra.org by: Todd Kellam Who Is UKC And What Makes Us Different? A lot of folks don’t realize it but United Kennel Club was established in 1898 and currently registers over 300 breeds of dogs. UKC was founded and still resides in Kalamazoo, Michigan. UKC is the second oldest and second largest all breed dog registry in the United States. It’s interesting to note that in over 100 years UKC has only had four Presidents lead the company. For that reason it has stayed remarkably true to its founding principles. One of the things that makes United Kennel Club different than other all-breed registries in this country is the fact that the vast majority of dogs registered with UKC are involved in performance events of one type or another. UKC is the farthest thing from being primarily a pet registry. UKC was immediately embraced by the coonhound world dating back to the early 1900’s. It has for many, many years been the registry of choice for coonhound enthusiasts in this country. The UKC coonhound program is a large, large program. Did you know that the Purina Coonhound Of The Year Program tops all other Purina Dog Of The Year Programs with an entry 17,000 dogs strong? I’ve not been too surprised while attending the NSTRA events the last couple years to learn that a high percentage of the pointing dog folks have heard of United Kennel Club either from a neighbor that is involved in the sport of coonhunting or because they themselves were involved in the coonhound sport at one time. Don’t worry….I won’t disclose which of you have come forward and confessed that you were previously coonhunters so as to not ruin your lofty reputation as bird doggers! But over the years UKC has established itself with a wide variety of working dog groups. Events recognized by United Kennel Club are basically split into two different areas which are Hunting Programs and Dog Events. The Hunting Programs Department administers programs for coonhounds, retrievers, beagles, pointing dogs and squirrel dogs. The Dog Events Department administers a wide variety of events which are open to all breeds of dogs registered at UKC including obedience and agility trials, dock jumping, terrier racing, lure coursing, weight pulls, etc. The two sister events departments at UKC are comprised of 12 of 50 total employees. So the Registration Department is the largest department at United Kennel Club for obvious reasons. It is primarily what we do. We keep registration, pedigree and championship points records for dogs. The events departments create interest in breeding dogs but the Registration Department drives UKC. It is the Registration Department that NSTRA members will have the most contact with. That is because NSTRA has it’s own very talented office staff which oversees all of the functions that UKC’s event departments do for our events. The Registration Department is broken down into two sections; data entry and customer service. When your paperwork is received at UKC it goes straight to data entry where thousands of pieces of work are processed daily and fly right through the system slick as can be. You will actually never have an opportunity to talk to a customer service representative until you do something wrong! Actually that is not true. There will be instances where you may find it helpful to call in and speak to a NSTRA members are welcome to stop by the UKC headquarters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and we will give you a tour of our facility." customer service rep if you ever have questions about how to correctly fill out your paper work. If you ever find it necessary to call UKC for help, I want you to remember one thing; earlier is better! Our phone lines open at 9:00 a.m. and typically those lines are far less busy earlier in the day. As the West coast wakes up and those calls join an already very busy call rate, it will require you to be slightly more patient with our scrambling customer service staff. There are a few things that make United Kennel Club unique that I am most proud of and that you will find very comforting as you become more involved as NSTRA members. UKC is large enough to be professional, innovative and technologically advanced, yet we are not a beuracracy. We do enough volume that we are able to offer a high quality product at the most competitive of prices. Yet we are small enough that you will get to know us on a first name basis and are able to pick up your phone and talk to any one of us most of the time. (Three days a week during bird season not included. For me anyway.) We are a pro-hunting, pro-gun organization made up of primarily working dogs and performance programs. We are primarily an owner / handler based organization as far as all of our events are concerned. We are about the dogs first and foremost and doing what’s right for them and advancing their health, ability, and well-being. As simple as that sounds, not all registries can make those statements. Does any of that sound familiar? Does it sound like some of the very philosophy upon which NSTRA was founded? It is no coincidence that UKC and NSTRA would eventually become partners. I realize that I may be a bit biased but I am positive UKC is the future of sporting dog programs in this country. I think you are already seeing that trend if you have your eye on the big picture. And I’m not just talking about pointing dogs either. I think NSTRA members have a great opportunity right now to get on board while this affiliation is still in its infancy.

Paulo as he was affectionately called by his friends was a gifted veterinarian, who started practicing in 1971 in Hudson Quebec. Over the years Paulo cared for many of the members bird dogs. Many of us had the pleasure of hunting and fly fishing with him in hundred of locations, all over the world. He was a gentleman and one of the kindest and most generous people you will ever meet. Paul’s wife Carole Jutras shared his love of the outdoors. They have two wonderful children and two grand children. Max, Paul’s son in-law summed it up when he said “Paul was the person everyone wanted to be”. We think the text from the birthday card Paulo wrote when Donald J. Thom turned 50 gives us an insight into his love of EMT ad.indd the sporting life (and we quote): What we really wish you Points and flushes Hits and misses Backs and retrieves Rises and takes Runs and break-offs Riffles and pools Duns and midges The smell of gunpowder The prairie sky Sage and buck brush The blur of wings Feathers in the wind Sweat and muddy boots A wee dram by the moonlight The song of the river near Tomorrow another day of fishing A brand new cover Forever FIRST AID Kit in a Tube EMT Gel ® patented collagen gel for wounds • Speeds healing, reduces pain, itching & bleeding • Protects wound bed • Provides moist healing environment TROPHY ANIMAL HEALTH CARE 1217 W. 12th Street Kansas City, MO 64101 1-800-236-5414 trophyanimalcare.com 1 W.
