Bruce
Hale rides along the top of a small ridge to observe
his Pointer. Bird dogs are born with certain abilities
but it takes a good trainer to develop classy bird dogs.
Bruce seems to always have styles bird dogs from Vizsla
to Pointers. He helped to organized and start the Vizsla
National Organization.

Ed
Dixon's Pointer, Promise Keeper (Joe) is handled by the
scout after a well mannered bird find. Ed's young derby
dog did wonderful and Joe's bird work exhibit excellent
style. This part of the course is tight with rolling hills
and steep canyons. It takes a sharp eye to find a bird
dog on point in this terrain.

Dixon finds the bird that Joe pointed. Ed's knowledge
and time spent training his bird dogs pay dividends during
the trial. Joe placed 2nd in the Amateur Shooting Dog
Championship.

The
grounds coursed through a long valley with sloping hills,
draws and big canyons. A bird dog must be seen by a judge
to be considered finishing the course.
