Mill St., Plainfield, IN 46168 News From the Officers To all: We are starting to see some of the changes to the computer program and database take shape. The improved online draw is currently in test form for all of you to use and play with. We sure appreciate any feedback, positive or negative, before we make the final launch. We all know there is always room to improve, so feel free to communicate any ideas to the national officers. Once we have the online draw done, it will make chairing a trial so much easier and less painful. So we look forward to having this finished. Some other adds: If you look closely, and click on the “news” tab, this will allow you to view national officers meeting minutes. We feel for this group to be fully transparent, all our membership should be able to see our progress and conversations. Please take a look. By the time this article is published, there will be a link for all of you to visit to enter your emails privately and have them kept safe as well. This group of officers are frustrated with the lack of communication and how information is handed down to its members. So we have added a feature to have each member notified by email of any important dates, information, or general newsletters. Please sign up for this feature when it comes available. We feel strongly it will help bridge the communication gap and help move us into the 21st century. By now all the regions should have received their checks from the national office. Please applaud and thank John Davis for finding this within the budget. We sure hope this helps ease some of those regions struggling financially and allows them the tools necessary to help give them a more solid foundation to grow and compete with. As we enter the spring trial season, please keep in mind why we all do this; 1) for the dogs and 2) for the companionship. Please take this time to enjoy ourselves and have fun. We wish you all the best in your weekend, regional, and upcoming national trials. Sincerely, CC Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love. They depart to teach us about loss. A new dog never replaces an old dog; it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big.

Send in your questions! Dear Boomer, ou! y w o n k o Getting t When we have company, Don Juan, our bird dog tries to stick his nose in, uh, you know where. He’s very persistent even though we correct him when he does it. This is very embarrassing. Signed, Red Faced Dear Red, I’ll give you an explanation for Don Juan’s behavior and the approach you can take to stop it. This is from someone who knows! Dogs are cleaner than humans in some ways, we don’t even touch when we greet. We learn about our world through smell, hearing, touch and sight in that order. Don is just following doggy custom and smelling (greeting) your guests. Remember, they are his guests too. Dogs are believers in equal rights and would gladly let your guests smell his doggy essence if they wanted. But you said you correct him when he does it. So I guess you don’t want him to greet “your” visitors. In a nutshell, what you do is control the situation and make it clear that he is not supposed to greet even if invited by a human. A dog thinks a human is inviting a dog to greet by just standing still or better yet, bending over. Invite some folks over for Don Juan and you to practice greeting on. Tell your company that they are to ring or knock at the door. When you answer, they are supposed to greet you, in what ever human way you prefer, and ignore Don Juan completely. When you hear the company at the door, put DJ on “down”. If he’s not trained well enough to hold his stay, then have an assistant keep him on down. You can use a leash to represent extra control at this point. If DJ is uncontrollable at this point, then you’ll have to abandon this intervention and go back to obedience training combined with exercise to establish your leadership. Let’s say DJ recognizes your leadership and keeps his distance. You bring in the company and interact with them for 5 minutes or so. When DJ relaxes in the “down”, release him and with him on the lead, let him catch your visitors scent. Your visitors are to ignore DJ. If he starts to zero in on “home”, correct him and place him on down. You can do this several times until the lesson sinks in that DJ is not to greet. So there it is. You are the leader and DJ can greet if you tell him to. Believe me, DJ will not need doggy therapy because you’re abusing him. In fact, if he could thank you for being a good leader, he would.

Rule Change: Section 3 – Back The following rule change was voted on and passed by the membership. The results were 84 yes and 43 no votes. The following rule change will take effect with the publication of this issue of the magazine so mark your rule books accordingly. Changes are in bold. Section 8 – Rules for Recognized Field Trials 8.21 A dog may be entered in a field trial that the owner is judging, however, the owner shall not judge his/her dog (i.e. the judges do not switch dogs during the brace). 1/14 While judging a field trial, a judge is not permitted to handle a dog in the field he is judging or in the opposing field(s). 3/10 Bird handlers will not be able to own dogs or handle any dogs in the same field in which they plant birds. 7/08 Two other changes that were voted on this year are as follows: Section 11 – References, Special Requirements, Dog of the Year Trial and Regional Eliminations 11.09 An owner shall be allowed to enter his/her dog (or dogs) in his/her home region or regions in which his/her dog (or dogs) qualified for elimination trials, but not in both regions. To qualify for regional elimination trial, a dog must receive a placement in a sanctioned trial; the current regional champion is also automatically qualified. Dogs that qualify in home region must enter in home region. Dogs that hold Championship status must run in their home region. A dog may enter only one region elimination trial per year January 1 to December 31 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. * 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 the handler fails to call back. 4/93 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 points National Final Four (2nd ,3rd, 4th ) = 5 points Top Performance win = 6 points Regional Championship = 2 points Each 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 wins 2. Top Performance wins 3. National Championship placements 4. Regional Championship wins 5. Number of NSTRA championships Hall of Fame nominations are due in the office by March 31. APRIL/MAY 2014 I 10 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG News that we feel is important to everyone. Top Performance Award Criteria 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. 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. 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.

WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 13 I G APRIL/MAY 2014 I 14 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 15 I G Chukar Hunting Spirituality: Gun Dog Series By: Drew Wahlin, President October 2012 “Gun Dog Friendly Home Additions” An estimated 73 million dogs live in U.S. homes, and Americans are increasingly remodeling not only for themselves but also for their four-legged friends. Upland game bird hunters want to live comfortably in their homes, but they also want their home to be a safe haven for their gun dogs. Creating such a sanctuary for your gun dog can include some small — and a few large — renovations. Here are several smart ideas on how you can make your home friendly and safe for your gun dog — and what impact these changes might have on your home if you decide to move out. Smart flooring Linoleum flooring is becoming popular among designers because it has anti-microbial properties, it’s easy to maintain and it is more environmentally sustainable than vinyl flooring, says Nancy Chwiecko, associate professor of interior design at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y., and author of the book “There’s a Dog in The House” (ISBN: 978-0615-39585-2). Wood floors, too, are easier to maintain than carpet if you have a gun dog. Pick light to medium finishes, lower-luster glosses or distressed woods to help minimize scratches from your gun dog’s nails. Keep your gun dog’s nails rounded and short to prevent scratches. If you prefer carpet, consider modular floor-carpet tiles from companies such as the carpet tiles brand, Flor (www.flor.com), they can be replaced easily in case of accidents, Chwiecko says, “ Flor will recycle any returned tiles.” If you have to move: There’s no need to replace the floors, as long as they’re still looking great. Hosing stations Dog-hosing stations are popular in custom homes in locations where pets can track in sand, dirt and mud. You can give your pooch a quick rinse before he comes inside, in a washtub with a spray hose and tile wall in your mudroom or garage. Such a station can be built for about $750 to $1,000. Be sure to have hot and cold water and water-resistant flooring. If you have to move: You won’t need to pull the wash station out of your garage, Whittington says. The plumbing can be used for washing the next owner’s car. Pet doors If you work long hours or spend a lot of time away from home, pet doors can be a great way to make sure your gun dog isn’t stuck inside the house/garage for hours on end. Pet doors can be pricey, costing between $80 and $500. But there’s an array of options. There are doors for walls, screens, windows — even sliding-glass doors. Some doors are activated by microchip for more security; others are built to withstand 50 mph winds. If you have to move: It’s possible you may have to replace the door, but not certain. It’s all between the buyer/ seller and it is estimated that almost 60% of American homes have a dog. If the buyer asks you to replace the door, the cost ranges from $700 and upwards. Latches on cabinets and toilets Childproof latches can be useful when you have a puppy or kitten that is fascinated with drinking or playing in the toilet or getting into cupboards. It’s important to keep pets from getting into food, cleaners and medicine. Lysol-type cleaners, chocolate, raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts and xylitol sweetener in gum can be toxic — even fatal — for gun dogs. Gun dogs can easily chew through plastic bottles, so keep medicines/cleaning solutions away from your gun dog. Remember, too, that gun dog puppies like to chew on electrical cords, so tuck them away, unplug them or use plastic covers that snap over them. Child gates are an easy way to keep your gun dog away from certain areas of the house. If you have to move: Child proofing isn’t a detriment to home value. Buyers can remove these features if they don’t want them. Childproof latches can be removed easily, as can child gates. Gun dog-friendly plants Many common plants, including baby’s breath and crab apples, can be toxic to gun dogs. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals website (peta.org) lists plants that are poisonous to animals. Plus male gun dogs need a good bush/shrub to pee on. If you fertilize or spray for weeds, remember to remove food dishes from the area, and keep your gun dog away for at least 24 hours. If you have an exterminator or APRIL/MAY 2014 I 16 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG 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.

For a quarter of a century this trial has been a favorite among those of us from the “North”; as a time to get away from the ice and snow and enjoy some wonderful warm weather. This year was especially enjoyable as our northern neighbors had experienced the coldest, snowiest winter in many years. Temperatures had dipped below zero many days with 6-12 inches of snow coming with each storm. The week before the trial, Georgia was hit with a major ice storm which made travel touchy for many participants, however all men and dogs arrived safely to run the Quad pretrial on Saturday through Monday prior to the Championship. Dana Walker was in charge of entries for the Quad and did a superb job of making sure dogs would be running on their respective field for their championship run. Our thanks to Dana and the Florida Region for hosting a great trial. Perhaps some history on the QI is in order. The QI has been held at the Florida location each year except four at which time we traveled to Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas and Georgia. Will Heddon was instrumental in starting the QI Trial and along with his Dad, Jim “Pap” Heddon and Dot, we were welcomed to Florida in 1989 for the first championship. Many of us still remember when lunch time came and a white sheet was thrown over the picnic table followed by a big pot of shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and corn on the cob. During the first few years, we ran 64 dogs, but quickly had to add other fields as the QI became one of the most popular Championship events. The winner of the championship this year will be added to the illustrious list of winners which follows: 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Tricky Dick Jim I’ll Come Runnin Tricky Dick Jim Barb’s Tekoa Sunnie Fiddlin Sweet Music Crow’s Little Joe Crow’s Little Joe Big Shot Rebel Wilsher Southern Son Fraulein Greta Dee Barr’s Southern Zipp Tomoka’s Smokin Sadie Burchel’s Dutchman Nolan’s Last Bullet Tash’s Lulu Burchel’s Dutchman Tomoka’s Smokin Pete Stephen’s Bright Copper Cooper’s Big Mac Boomer’s X-Rated Kickapoo Molly’s Revenge Kickapoo Molly’s Revenge Tomoka’s Smokin Riley Buddy’s Mini-Cooper Crosswind Micro Chip Moore, Bill Cunningham, Bob Moore, Bill Clark, Bobby Parsons, Ron Crow, Anthony Crow, Anthony Wood, John Napier, Bill Butler, Butch Barr, Wes Wood, Greg & Arnsparger, Logan Burchel, Roy Huffman, Nolan Bohn, Bill Townsend, Scott & Burchel, Roy Wood, Greg Stephens, Michael Harmon, Jim Boomershine, Scott Parient Jr, Roger Parient Jr, Roger Dobson, Jim Watson, Sharron & Ashmore, Sam Townsend, Scott Chairman, Marilyn Cunningham and Co-Chairman, Adam Fellers held a short judges meeting on Wednesday evening to explain boundaries and safety zones on each of the four fields. Immediately following the meeting the CFFT Field Trialers once again hosted a spectacular “Welcome Dinner” with oysters on the half shell and giant shrimp along with 2 additional tables of tantalizing appetizers. The Sterner and Ashmore families donated the seafood with many other club members furnishing everything from fruit plates, vegetable plates, BBQ meatballs, slider sandwiches; you name it, and it was there. Auctioneers, Bob Cunningham and Gene Pritchett conducted a Calcutta after the meal selling each brace instead of APRIL/MAY 2014 I 30 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG individual dogs. The Calcutta raised $3910 of which $1175 would go to the NSTRA Scholarship Fund. It was a fun night for all and our thanks to all involved who made it a super start for the trial. We were privileged to have all veteran trial officials except Sandy Trenzona, who was new to the Championship arena, as a marshal. Coming from Illinois were Ron Huels, Ron Becker and Frank Llano with a record between the three of them judging 275 trials; Donny Parker from Arkansas with 284 trials to his credit; Stan and Cory Perdue and Bodie Ray with a combination of 639 trials; and Scott Townsend having judged 40 trials. These numbers are an accumulation of many hours of judging under many diverse conditions and we are honored to have this kind of experience at this championship event. Bird handlers were Bo Marcum – MK and Gene Pritchett – GA. These two men have a unique way of placing birds so no one can figure their pattern. They are accomplished bird handlers and we are fortunate to have them with us again this year. Our marshals, Nancy Ashmore and Dana Walker – Florida – have marshaled the QI for several years and these girls keep the trials moving at break-neck speed. You’d best be at the blind for your brace on time, because you don’t want Nancy or Dana having to run you down. It can get ugly. Chip Hall and Sandy Trezona, also from Florida are the new marshals to the QI – however, Chip has been a NSTRA member for many years and also a Championship Judge. Sandy has been taken under the wing and trained by two of the best. When we are blessed with officials of this caliber the job of the Chairmen and Trial Coordinator becomes a “walk in the park” and we are sincerely appreciative to each of these individuals. The flag was raised by Garry May with help from his brother-in-law Joe as the National Anthem was played; Suvoyee Rudd said a blessing over the trial as we began the first day’s running. Judging A field were Donny and Frank with Sandy marshalling. Due to fog, we were not able to start at 7:30 but shortly thereafter the dogs were released to begin the first brace which follows with the Top 16 dogs advancing to Friday’s running marked with an asterisk. 1 FL RAIL’S RAMBLING TROUBLE #1646779 EP / M WILLIS ELHEW TUXEDO / PINEHILL JILL DON LAYTON, JR – 698.5*** 0xCH OH MAHONEY’S MAGIC JAKE #1650238 EP / M MAHONEY’S MAGIC JACK / MONITEAU’S KATIE MORGAN JIM MAHONEY/JAMES CARVER – 468.5 0xCH IL DOUBLE R STREAK #1628921 EP / F BLAZE’S BLACK MAGIC / KATE’S SHINING STAR KATHY RALSTON / BRANDON RALSTON – 316.5 5xCH KY HARD HITTING WINCHESTER #R221-441 GSH / M BJ’S ROCKIN RUGER / BJ’S SAVAGE SARA CHRIS SANDERS – 805.83 *** 1XCH 3 OH SKIPPER’S DOGWOOD TOBY #1623744 ES/M ANGIE’S DOGWOOD SKIPPER/CUMBERLAND LADY RANDY CUNNINGHAM/HAROLD SMITH - 151 2XCH 2 FL SMOKE CREEK’S OSCAR IV #SR49552601 GWH / M ST.

A special thanks to those who helped sweep the fields morning and evening. Rick Trezona was instrumental in making sure that the fields were cleaned and our thanks to him and Sandy for their help. A catered dinner was served after the trial and due to darkness, winners of the fields were not announced until Friday at noon. It was an early evening for some and late night for others as the 64 qualified dogs would run 8 braces on each of the 4 fields Friday morning. From this competition, we would narrow those remaining to 32 dogs which would run 4 fields of 4 braces each on Friday afternoon. The silent auction ended Thursday evening and the CFFT club was quite happy with the results. Round 2 began at 7:30 on Friday morning with no fog and clear skies.

There are several great restaurants in the area and everyone enjoyed great food and good company. Although a few had pulled out Friday afternoon, there were still 15 handlers who would run on Saturday morning. Saturday morning dawned cloudy and somewhat cooler for the first few braces. We would run 4 braces on the front fields with Stan, Cory and Dana officiating on A field and Donny and Frank judging on B field with Gene marshalling. Bo would handle the birds for both fields.

Throughout the trial we’ve seen the following dogs consistent in their runs and should all be commended for their efforts thus far. Of course we are still eliminating to get our final four so some will stay and some will go. But the following 8 handlers had to be very proud and satisfied with their dogs performance during the trial. The 5th elimination round is as follows with the final eight once again going head to head for a berth in the coveted Final Four.

Sam and Adam did not opt for the hour break and after a short rest, they were called to the blind. Dana and Gene had made sure that the fields were cleaned between each round and both fields were made ready for the championship run. Bo deposited the 10 birds throughout the field and Bodie and Donny called the handlers and dogs to the starting line at approximately 3 o’clock. Cooper had the first point and from that point, continued to score on 6 finds, and 6 retrieves. Throughout the morning Cooper had advanced with 4 find, 3 finds, and 3 finds to advance to the final hour. Nose had advanced each brace during the morning with 4 finds, but as luck would have it, the 4 bird run was cut in half with a 2 bird run and score of 515.5 points during the final hour. Cooper’s score on 6 finds and retrieves was 1063.8; and for the 2nd time in 3 years Cooper was once again the Quail Invitational National Champion. It had been an awesome week for both Nose and Cooper, one which will be written in the history books to the credit of two fine dogs and 2 super, competitive handlers. FINAL: BUDDY’S MINI-COOPER – SAM ASHMORE/SHARRON WATSON/ASHMORE – 1063.8 – Champion QUAIL VALLEY’S NOSE KNOWS – ADAM FELLERS – 515.5 – 1st runner-up As we always have a great gallery picture in Florida, this year was no different. Everyone gathered to congratulate the four winners and from 128 dogs to the final four, they are certainly all winners. Ray Cacchio, our Purina Representative for the QI was on hand for the trophy presentation and we are always glad to have Ray join us for this trial. Each of the Top Four receive a winner’s jacket and Pro Plan from Purina; 1st – 450 #, 2nd – 250#, 3rd-112# and 4th-112#. The Champion also receives an electric collar from Garmin with 2nd-4th receiving gift certificates. Foster & Smith and Dogs Unlimited donated gift certificates for 1st-4th. Steve Walker, Florida President, presented each winner with the infamous winner’s Belt Buckle donated by the CFFT Birddog Club in memory of Jim “Pap” Heddon; after which NSTRA President, Chad Collison, presented the winner’s trophy and clock to each handler compliments of NSTRA. 1st runner-up is awarded Bird Shooter Boots from W.C.Russell Moccasin of Berlin, Wisconsin. Although Dion Bliss, Red Haw Supply, wasn’t on hand at the trial this year, he still donated a $50 gift certificate to each winner. APRIL/MAY 2014 I 50 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG Jim Mahoney awarded a t-shirt to each handler donated by J.B.’s Restaurant. Our thanks to each of the sponsors who continually donate to our sport. They are truly a huge part of our association and we are certainly grateful for their continued support. Camp Mack River Resort also donated 2 airboat rides and Ron Becker and Ron Huels purchased those and the money was donated to the scholarship fund. Each entrant in the trial also received 8# of Pro Plan from Purina along with bags of training treats, a championship hat and championship towel. The 3rd runner-up, Kickapoo Jack’s Ranger, 2 ½ year old English Setter male, is owned and handled by Roger Parient of the Indiana Region. Ranger sire is Kickapoo’s Jackpot, a 5x NSTRA Champion and also the 1st runner-up at the UKC/NSTRA Classic Championship at Waverly, Nebraska last June. Jack was also in the top 32 out of the 128 dogs during the week here in Florida. Ranger’s dam is Kickapoo’s Little Sis – a granddaughter of 11x NSTRA and 4x National Champion Boomer’s X-Rated “Johnny” a member of NSTRA Hall of Fame. With parentage like this, is it any wonder that this young setter would be in the Top Four. Also of note, 2 of the dogs from this same litter, Kickapoo Jack’s Scout and Kickapoo Jack’s Kid were contenders through the 2nd round of the QI qualification rounds. Ranger earned his 1st placement on 10/14/12 at the CBDC in Amo, In. His first championship was awarded on 11/29/13 and now has 25 lifetime points of which 18 are first place points. In April, 2012 Ranger placed 1st runner-up at the Indiana Regional Championship. No doubt we will be seeing much more from this exceptional, young setter in the months and years to come. Congratulations to Roger and Ranger for a phenomenal week. The 2nd runner-up was Skipper’s Precious Girl, a 2 ½ year old orange and white English Setter female, owned and handled by Bobby Clark, LST Region member. Precious is from Angie’s Dogwood Skipper – 15x NSTRA Champion, 1 x Regional Champion, also 4 times in the Top Four of a National Championship. Her dam is Beach’s Bad Girl who is a 1x NSTRA Champion and MW Regional Champion. Precious has 29 points of which 19 are first place points. Her first placement came in March, 2013 at a LST Amateur Trial. She became a NSTRA Champion on 11/10/13 and also had a 3rd place at the LST Regional Qualification in March 2013. During the Wagon View Farms trial held in Pavo, Ga in February before the QI Championship Previous placed 1st in two different fields on the same date. She also won the high point trophy for that day. Precious was consistent throughout the QI Championship qualification runs with 3 and 4 bird runs each day. Also on hand to help accept the awards for Precious was Bobby’s wife, Martha and we know that both Bobby and Martha are so proud of this fine, fast moving setter who will also be up and coming in the NSTRA arena. Hats off to Bobby, Martha and Precious. The 1st runner-up is no stranger to the Top Four circle. Quail Valley’s Nose Knows is a 4 ½ year old German Shorthair Pointer owned and handled by Adam Fellers, MK Region member. Nose is a 13X NSTRA Champion from 13xNSTRA Champion, Premier’s Fancy Trail Blazer and Pointing Home Major League. Blazer was the Purina Top Performance winner in 2009 with 73 points and 2010 with 81 points. He was also 2nd in 2011. Nose is a NSTRA National Champion winning the 2013 UKC/ NSTRA Performance Championship. She has 241 lifetime points of which 155 are 1st place points. Her first placement came on 3/12/11 at the Elkfork Kennels Trial. In 2012 Nose was 1st runner-up at the UKC/NSTRA Performance Championship followed by a 2nd runner-up berth during the 2013 Trial of Champions Championship. An interesting note – In March 2012 at a 2 day trial in Waverly, Nebraska Nose earned 10 points, in May, 2012 at a 3 day trial on the same grounds she earned 14 points, and in March 2013 at the Best of the West 3 day trial she once again earned 14 points. Now that’s racking up the points and fast. Not only is Nose a super birddog, she’s a family pet and lives in the house with Adam, Nikki, Nolan and Evan. They are a special family and we are so happy they are part of the NSTRA family. Our congratulations and best wishes to the Fellers family and Nose for another great win and special place in NSTRA. THE WINNER: Buddy’s Mini-Cooper, is an 8 year old Brittany Male, owned by Sharron Watson and Sam Ashmore from the Florida Region and handled by Sam. “Coop” is a 7x NSTRA Champion and 2X National Champion. His sire is Nolan’s Last Bullet – 32 time NSTRA Champion and 6 x National Champion – the most wins of any dog in NSTRA. The dam is TJ’s Microbeans Ginger Snap. Coop’s first placement came on 2/17/08 at a CFFT trial. He earned his first championship on 2/19/11. In April, 2011 Coop won the Florida Region and followed in 2012 winning the QI Championship to become a National Champion. In March, 2012 he once again won the Florida Regional Championship. In Jan, 2013 during a CFFT trial, Coop racked up 10 points during a 3 day trial. In Sharron’s own words “we started out with a brit, and a big ole yellow lab then went to Setters (several of them) and Bruce decided he wanted to go back to Brits because he wouldn’t have to chase them all over the field. So, I started my hunt and Nolan Huffman let me know that Jim Doughty (Mo-Kan Region) had just done a breeding and I pursued that lead. In talking to Jim he knew exactly what I was looking for… and he sent me photos and a video. Well, the one I picked out he said didn’t have the best tail because it was a little short and I told Jim that “I didn’t care about that but my primary concern was attitude and did he show interest in birds”. Well every picture I got from Jim of the group of pups, Coop was the one at the quail pen. So he was the one, WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 51 I G short tail, attitude and all, he was headed to Florida and our home. Bruce took him everywhere with him and loved to show off his new Brittany pup, Cooper. Unfortunately the diagnoses came in on Bruce and he didn’t get to run him a whole lot after Butch Butler finished his training. But, Bruce got to see Butch and Coop go 6-6 for his first win at the pretrial to the QI when he was about 18 months or so. Bruce let Butch handle him from that point, but he did get to hunt over him and loved the little guy. Before Bruce passed on he made me promise to keep him going because he said “Coop’s the one we’ve been looking for”. So, Butch continued to handle him until we brought Sam on board in 2010; Coop and Sam bonded like glue and they became one heck of a team. Now, you have to know that here is the pointer guy who is now running a “fluffy short tailed” dog, heck you know he took some major teasing. Coop is a house dog, sleeps on the couch, the bed, or really… where ever he wants. He loves peanut butter treats, watermelon, DQ, popcorn and his Purina One, chicken and rice dog food are his favorite foods. Coop is now in a shared custody situation. He stays with Sam, Nancy, Clayton and Brandy most of the trial season and has become part of their family where he gets spoiled; then he comes home with me for more spoiling on off trial weekends and during the off season. So he gets attention from me, Sam and Butch, not too shabby of a world I’d say. When we go to trials, I always make sure I’m at a dog friendly hotel so he can stay with me because, oh my gosh, sleep in a trailer… no way! Gosh, that would be treating him like a dog.” Congratulations to the Ashmores, Sharron, Butch and Coop for a spectacular week and another much deserved National Championship. What a wonderful group of people and special dog. Statistics from Saturday’s running were: Highest Find – 90 points – Kickapoo Jack’s Scout – Roger Parient/Pete Zeldenrust; Quail Valley’s Nose Knows – Adam Fellers; Weathered Stones Murray – Cheryl/Alan Higham Retrieve – 92 points – Cool Hand’s Tribute – John Davis Obedience – 69 points – Smoke Creek’s Oscar IV – George Sterner IV; Shawnee Hills Gypsy – Chad Collison; Skipper’s Precious Girl – Bobby Clark Ground Coverage – 88 points – Tomoka’s Smokin Gun – Jim Kirkman/Greg Wood Back – 71 points – Bran’s Rowdy Boy – Clayton Ashmore both under the weather. Hopefully, they will be back with us soon. Also, get well wishes to Cris Bangert – Neal Wills’ significant other. A special thank you again to all those who brought 4-wheelers and helped clean the fields. Some of these 4-wheelers came from as far away as Michigan and Nebraska and we really appreciate those who helped with this. Thanks to Mike Perry from Garmin who visited with us Thursday and Friday and to David Deaton, Jackie Steele, John Davis and Dana Walker for helping with the goody-bags. It sure goes faster when there is a crew like this to pitch in to help. David Deaton is always willing to help and finds others who are willing to do their part also. Again, thanks to Rick Trezona who was on hand to help in any way and to Ralph Harrell who took Bruce Van Vliet’s place while Bruce recuperated from eye surgery. A world of thanks to Adam Fellers serving as Cochairman. He did a great job as did Brandy Ashmore who took numerous pictures throughout the trial. Brandy caught many memorable moments that will be treasured by people for years to come. Roger Parient saved us several dollars in shipping fees by taking all our “stuff” back to Indiana. Thanks Roger. Sam Ashmore provided strawberries and cauliflower for EVERYONE and they were the best. Our thanks to Sam, the Strawberry Man. And Betty has promised us cakes for next year. We’ll hold you to it Betty. Thanks to Sharron Watson for helping post scores so all those at home could keep track of who was doing what, with the online scoring program on the website. We’ve had lots of positive feedback from this site and will continue to monitor the championship trials. Thanks to the Central Florida Field Trialers for all their hard work in helping to make the QI a great trial; also to those responsible for trimming the trees making the fields easier to judge and clearer to watch. Again, there are many behind the scene people and to those we thank you for helping to make the trial go smooth and enjoyable for all. That 99 point retrieve earned by Tricky Dick Lou – Chris Mullins – was described to me as phenomenal. The dog not only swam half the length of the pond to retrieve the bird, but had to literally dive for it as the bird was hidden under a lily pad and beginning to sink. Also, word has it that the Liar’s Lounge at Camp Mack started barring customer’s wearing orange shirts. So if you want to do tacos on Tuesday night, don’t wear orange. See everyone again in April at the TOC. Until then, hopefully that weather up North will improve and the Spring Trials and Regional Eliminations will see dry, sunny days. n HIGHLIGHTS: It was good to have Ralph and Betty Harrell back with us (although we missed Betty’s cakes); we missed Cookie Anderson and Bruce Van Vliet who are APRIL/MAY 2014 I 52 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG CFFT B/F February 1, 2014 -

March 12, 2014 – As of March 12, 2014, UKC announces fifteen (15) breeds are eligible for litter registration when sired by a nonUKC registered sire. UKC previously enforced a policy, consistent with other registries, whereby puppies could not be UKC litter registered unless both parents were UKC registered. If the sire, for instance, was not UKC registered but was registered with a UKC acknowledged registry, the offspring would be eligible for single registration only, and each pup needed to be individually single registered. Alternatively, the new option is offered as a convenience to, in essence, single register an entire litter at once! This new litter registration application allows for litter registration of pups sired by a non-UKC registered sire, provided a copy of the sire’s Proof of Registration from an acknowledged registry is included with the application. Submission of a complete 3-generation pedigree for the sire is encouraged, but not required. As always, the dam of the non-UKC sired litter must be UKC registered. “The reason the new litter option is only open to fifteen (15) breeds is to test the water, so to speak, and work out any kinks with the new procedure,” UKC Vice President of Events Todd Kellam said. “Depending on how it works out and the response we get, there is a possibility within a year of opening it to all breeds for which we accept single registration. It is something that our Hunt Test and Field Trial people have been requesting, so that is where we wanted to give it a try. I personally think it is going to be a huge success,” Kellam added. The fifteen (15) eligible breeds include: Beagle, Boykin Spaniel, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Curly-Coated Retriever, Flat Coated Retriever, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Brittany, English Pointer, English Setter, German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla, Irish Red & White Setter, and the Vizsla. To view a list of UKC acknowledge registries, and to download the Litter Registration Application for Litters Sired by a Non-UKC Registered Sire, please visit www. ukcdogs.com. Established in 1898, the United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. More than 60 percent of its 15,500 annually licensed events are tests of hunting ability, training, and instinct. UNITED KENNEL CLUB prides itself on its family-oriented, friendly, educational events. To find out more about registration and events, call or visit our website.

Quail Club NSTRA event held on March 1st, 2014 in Newburg, AR. However, the weather predictions for Sunday, the 2nd were so bad that the trial on Sunday was called off. Once again the trial was full and we welcomed newcomer, Ron Huels, and re-united with our old friends from south Arkansas, Robert Franks, Caroll Evans and Bo Nutt. Open: Deb Meline with her dog, Francis was 1st with a 5/4 L.D. Moser with his dog, Hawk, took 2nd with a 4/4 Kevin Scribner with his dog, Doc, took 3rd with a 4/4 It was a cold and blustery weekend for the February 1st & 2nd North Arkansas Quail Club NSTRA Trial held at Feathers & Gunpowder Preserve in Newburg, AR. But that did not dampen the spirits of the hardy competitors as they braved blizzard conditions on Sunday! Judges Louis Kirkendahl and Donnie Parker weathered near blinding conditions and still did an outstanding job. Thank you Louis and Donnie! The dog work for both days was exceptional. NAQC is proud to have one of the few NSTRA female competitors. Deb Meline took the honors with her two young female Brittanys, Chick and Francis. Chick, in her very first trial, won the Amateur and was high point dog overall for the weekend. Francis, in her fourth trial, won the Open on Sunday in a blinding snow storm. Our hats are off to Deb and her dogs! Although the winter has been tough on the field, there was sufficient cover to make the dogs really work. The winds were light and most dogs were successful in locating birds. Only 10 points separated Wendy and Kansas in the Amateur. Good run Dave! Thank you to all of the competitors, judges and club members for putting on another outstanding event! Amateur: L.D. Moser with his dog, Rail was 1st with a 4/4 Jerry Hyde with his dog, Wendy took 2nd with a 3/3 Dave Smith with his dog, Kansas took 3rd with a 3/3 Saturday Open winners: 1st Heath Blankenship/Friskie; 2nd Robert Tipton/Rusty; 3rd L.D.

Moser/Hawk; 3rd Robert Tipton/Bo Sunday Amateur was cancelled due to weather. North Arkansas Quail Club is a very young club, but because of the total commitment of its members, NAQC continues to put on high quality events. We want to thank all of the competitors for coming and filling out our trials every time. Article by L.D. Moser APRIL/MAY 2014 I 72 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG ARKANSAS/LOUISIANA It was a beautiful, sunny weekend for the NAQC NSTRA Trial held at Feathers & Gunpowder Preserve in Newburg, Arkansas on January 18 & 19th----NOT!! On Saturday, the 18th the wind blew and the cold set in! But the weather did not deter the North Arkansas Quail Club members, handlers and dogs from having a great time! Thanks to host, Heath Blankenship, and fellow club members the weekend rolled along smoothly. Birds were tight but dogs were on their game. Judges Donnie Parker and Louis Kirkendahl, as always, did an excellent job while bearing the tough weather conditions. We were delighted to have two new members running in their very first NSTRA trials: Chris Koster of Dallas, TX with his dog Bodie; and Hunter Prince of Paragould, AR with his dog Lilly. Both had very respectable runs and received much help from the other handlers. Open winners on Saturday were: L.D. Moser/Hawk, John Branch/Lilly and Heath Blankenship/Amos Amateur winners on Saturday were: Max Aston/Mosley, Deion Sanders/ Josie and Heath Blankenship/Mike Open winners on Sunday were: L.D. Moser/Nell, John Branch/Shack and L.D. Moser/Hawk Amateur winners on Sunday were: L.D. Moser/Rail, Chad Prince/ Maggie and Heath Blankenship/M. Glenn Cumbie and the West-Ark Field Trial Club would like to give our greatest appreciation to Mary Fox for her continued support of our club and assistance with weekend field trials. Mary has recently taken the responsibility of organizing and typing our field trial reports to send to the National Office, and this has made the jobs of our trial chairmen and the National Office personnel much easier. Thank you again Mary! WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 73 I All in all a great time with good food, good friends and lots of fun. Thank you all for making this NAQC NSTRA Trial an exceptional event! G MOKAN by: Linda Mitchel Circle H’s Maggie Mae In October 2013 I received a call from Adam Hamilton of Pleasant Hill, Missouri. Adam was calling to inquire about our Open/Amateur field trial running October 26-27 near Prescott, Kansas. He thought it sounded interesting. Adam and his brother had run in AKC Hunt Tests before, but that he was impressed with the number of trials we put on each year. As the MOKAN Regional president, and having experience in AKC trials myself, I began to “sell” him on the positives of NSTRA over AKC. Then at one point I felt that maybe I was overselling him. I didn’t want to get his expectations up and then see him devastated if he or his dog didn’t perform well. I encouraged him to run is dog Maggie and test our Amateur trial first, before making any decisions. Adam did.. four times! Circle H’s Maggie Mae (Maggie) walked away with four placements! An amazing two first and two second! This was the very first time that Adam or his dog were in a NSTRA trial. We are always thrilled at what people and their dogs can do! Great job Adam!
