Jayhawk Open Shooting Dog Championship

The Jayhawk OSD Championship concluded today under less than favorable conditions.  The trial started off well but after 50 of the 65 dogs had been run the weather took a turn for the worst.  After 2 days full of rain and snow the conditions were just too unsafe for for the trial to continue so the remainder of the running was canceled.  The stake ended up as a 50 dog trial.  The judges had very worthy winners and they were announced.

2009 National Bird Dog Championship Video-A Review

I recently received my copy of the 2009 National Championship Video and I was very pleased with what I found.  The video quality continues to improve and the narration was very well done.  It is not often that we from other circuits or parts of the country get to see the dogs that compete in this trial, so this is an opportunity that should not be missed.

The video gives great representation of the kind of country these dogs traverse in this trial as well as a good look at these dogs not only around birds but also on the ground.  Anyone who has tried to video a field trial or just dogs in training appreciates the difficulty of this task.  It also gives you somewhat of a feel of how the handlers and scouts interact.  I don't mind saying that after watching the video I found myself craving a field trial as well as starting to think about aquiring a new pup or two out of a couple of these champions.

I am sure that most the the buyers of these videos are mostly all age trialers and that concentrate on pointers, but I would have to believe that any bird dog owner, and most certainly all field trialers, would surely enjoy this video.

The video can be ordered here.   http://www.pleasanthillproductions.com/  and I would recommend you do so if you are a fan of bird dogs of any persuasion.

Hot Setter Derby in the Midwest

There is a new setter derby in the string of Shawn Kinkelaar his name is Ridge Creek Cody, he is owned by Larry Brutger of St. Cloud, MN and he won 1st place in his last two derby stakes, the first being at the Fleetwood Classic in Arkansas and the next being the derby stake at the Southwest Missouri Open Shooting Dog Championship.  I do not have complete details from those trials but both had substantial derby entries, I think the Fleetwood having 18 and the SW MO having around 25.  I apologize for not having full detail on these stakes, I am pretty sure Scott Miller was 2nd and 3rd in both stakes.
