february/march 2012 i 6 i BALLOT

A rule change has been proposed to include the agreement with the United Kennel Club (UKC) to acquire the NSTRA dog registry. Currently the rule book reads as follows:

8.04 A dog must be eligible to be registered with a recognized registry to enter any NSTRA trial.

a. NSTRA recognizes the NSTRA, AKC (no PAL/ILP registered dogs), FDSB, and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) registries. However, regardless of which registry is used, the dog must be eligible to be registered in the NSTRA registry as a recognized pointing to be entered in any NSTRA trial.

b. Owners having dog registration pending will be responsible for completion of registration within (30) days of placement.

c. No placements will be recorded until the registration number is forwarded to the National Office (NSTRA, AKC [no PAL/ILP registered dogs], FDSB, CKC [Canadian Kennel Club]). After sixty (60) days, if no registration number has been received and/or verification that one exists, the placement will be void and all placements will be adjusted.

11.11 A dog must be eligible to be registered or be registered with a recognized registry to receive placement in any NSTRA trial and/or Region Elimination or National Championship Trial. NSTRA recognizes the NSTRA, AKC (no PAL/ILP registered dogs), FDSB, and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) registries. However, regardless of which registry is used, the dog must be eligible to be registered in the NSTRA registry to be entered in any NSTRA trial. An owner having dog registration pending will be responsible for documenting all placements in accordance with the By-Laws and Rules. Without a recorded placement a dog will not be eligible to run in a Regional Elimination Trial.

21.01 REGISTRY:

A dog must be enrolled in a recognized breed or field dog registry, approved by the National Shoot-To-Retrieve Field Trial Association Inc, officers and Board of Directors to be awarded the certificate of champion. (NSTRA recognizes the NSTRA, AKC (no PAL/ILP registered dogs), FDSB and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) registries. However, regardless of which registry is used, the dog must be eligible to be registered in the NSTRA registry as a recognized pointing dog breed to be entered in any NSTRA trial.)

The proposal is to change the above paragraphs (and any other references to the NSTRA registry) to read as follows:

8.04 A dog must be eligible to be registered with a recognized registry to enter any NSTRA trial.

a. NSTRA recognizes the UKC, AKC (no PAL/ILP registered dogs), FDSB, and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) registries. However, regardless of which registry is used, the dog must be eligible to be registered in one of the above mentioned registries as a recognized pointing dog breed to be entered in any NSTRA trial.

b. Owners having dog registration pending will be responsible for completion of registration within (30) days of placement.

c. No placements will be recorded until the registration number is forwarded to the National Office (UKC, AKC [no PAL/ILP registered dogs], FDSB, CKC [Canadian Kennel Club]). After sixty (60) days, if no registration number has been received and/or verification that one exists, the placement will be void and all placements will be adjusted.

UKC and NSTRA

The United Kennel Club has proposed an affiliation with NSTRA to acquire the NSTRA registry. This will give NSTRA members the opportunity to have their dog’s championship titles documented in the UKC registry. Any dog currently registered with NSTRA will be issued a UKC registration at no charge. Those dogs registered with UKC will have their NSTRA accomplishments recorded. This new agreement has been brought before the NSTRA Board of Directors and they have overwhelmingly accepted this proposal. In order to be able to launch this program in a timely fashion, NSTRA needs to be able to change its rule book to reflect the change in the registry. A ballot has been included in this magazine in order for the membership to vote on this change.

For more information on the United Kennel Club please visit their website at www.ukcdogs.com

If you have questions regarding this change, please contact your region president or national officer in charge of your region.

On December 17th, the North Arkansas Quail Club (NAQC) had their first NSTRA event. It was a frosty morning but everyone had a smile and an excited look in their eye. We were all anxious for our maiden voyage into NSTRA. At 8:00am with dogs ready, birds planted and judges Donny Parker and Robert Tipton loaded in their rangers, Chairman L.D. Moser gave the go! The first brace of the day was underway. We were getting our first taste of hosting a NSTRA event. It was quite an honor to attract seasoned NSTRA competitors such as Robert Franks, Jerry Oswalt, Mike Newman, Justin Crook and others. They, along with the judges were very helpful and happy to answer many questions. Adding up points was a challenge, but Kevin Scribner stepped up to the plate with the help of Bo Nutt, our Ark-La Region President. Judges Donny Parker and Robert Tipton invited those of us 1st, L.

It all paid off as we had a wonderful and successful day. Our next NSTRA event is in February and we are looking forward to it. Thank you to all who competed and to all who helped.

To this end, we have established minimum criteria that will allow individual members to submit Shoot-To-Retrieve their names for the consideration of the National Officers to serve as trial officials. Field Trial Association Criteria for judges ____ Must have a judges’ license for a minimum of four years and have judged at least 25 trials. Should also have judged trials outside their own region and preferably judged at the regional level;

february/march 2012 i 26 i 2011 NATIONAL DOG OF YEAR CHAMPIONSHIP

As fall comes to Central Indiana each year so also do dogs and handlers from throughout the United States and Canada for the annual Dog of the Year National Championship. This was the 42nd running of the National Shoot to Retrieve “Cinder- ella” trial held in Amo, Indiana each year. “Cinderella” because chances are one placement in a weekend trial can bring you to this National Championship. And that has happened more than once. Entrants are accepted as to how they finished in their regional elimination or in some cases, how they placed in the high-point race within their region.

The Conservation Birddog Club northwest of Amo, was the site for the trial and as always, the fields were groomed to perfection and all was ready for the championship event. A 4-day pretrial was held on Saturday thru Tuesday with Wayne Fishburn serving as chairman of this phenomenal event. Three fields ran on Saturday and Sunday with 2 fields on Monday and Tuesday. Those participating were given braces on the field they would run during the week following, therefore it was a great way to earn a placement plus practice time for the National Trial.

The Chairman for the DOY trial was Garry Foster with J.R.Coke serving as Co-Chairman. The trial officials were selected from the National Judges/Field Marshal Roster and were as follows: Donny Parker, AR (208 trials judged); Frank Llano, IL (111 trials); Shelley Dunn, KY (500 trials); Jim Kroeschel, IL (160 trials); Ron Huels, IL: (116 trials) and Lonnie Jones, MSM (23 trials). Marshalling the event was Cookie Anderson, NI; Mary Kay Kunza, MSM; and Nina Harmon, KY. Bird handlers were Cody Harmon, KY and Ron Becker, IL. All trial officials did a great job and are to be commended for their time and effort. Many of these people use their vacation time from work to officiate at these championship events and we appreciate their dedication to our sport. Breakfast was served early Wednesday morning and Garry met with all trial officials to give final instructions as to safety areas and field assignments before the 7:30 starting time. Due to darkness, the trial did not start until approximately 8:15 each morning as time was needed to clean the fields. Thanks to all those who helped keep the playing field fair by cleaning the fields early each morning.

Judging A field was Donny and Frank with Mary Kay proceeding with field marshalling duties. Ron would handle the birds for A & B fields. When all was in place, Ron made his way into A field to place the 6 birds for the first brace throughout the field. The results were as follows with the top 16 scoring dogs being held over for another elimination round on Friday:

february/march 2012 i 32 i As always, we are served great meals prepared by members of the Conservation Birddog Club overseen by Sharon Vanarsdale and this year was no different. On Wednesday evening, the birddog club hosted a complimentary spaghetti dinner for handlers and families. Michelle Parient prepared the spaghetti and was aided by several other members. Conservation Birddog Club President, Jim McAdams and wife, Bev were also on hand help- ing with the meal. The spaghetti was delicious and is always a welcomed treat after the first day’s trialing. Immediately following the dinner was the bi-yearly Board of Directors meeting which was held at the club. It is during this time that business is conducted by the National Board and region representatives from the regions represented. This year there were 23 directors in attendance.

Thursday dawned with a few sprinkles, but nothing of significance. Trial officials rotated with Lonnie, Ron and Nina on A field. The following dogs were scored:

This completed the first round of elimination with 96 dogs being held over for Friday’s running. As the field cleaners made their way to various fields, the computer draw program was being updated for Friday’s draw. Upon completion of the draw, the runs were posted and the invocation was given by Donald Bowyer for our banquet meal. And a fine meal it was. Catered by Jug’s Catering Service, we were served fried chicken, catfish, fried rolls with apple butter and all the fixings to a wonderful meal. Desserts were prepared by our own Julia Herwehe and they were delicious. Where she finds time to do this with DOY week going on, one only knows, but they were fabulous and our thanks go out to Julia for her desserts and setting up the banquet. After the luscious meal, we made our way into the main room of the clubhouse for the awards ceremony and silent auction for the scholarship program.

President, Joe Jackson, welcomed all to the banquet and especially expressed our thanks to the Conservation Birddog Club for all their hard work and time spent. Club President, Jim McAdams was on hand each day making sure there was gas for the 4-wheelers, birds in the pen, you name it – Jim was there. Many thanks to him for his dedication to the club and the championship trials held in Amo. Joe introduced the National Officers and Office Personnel as well as Past Presidents – Tom Burks, Jim Mahoney, Bob Cunningham and Wes Barr.

The sponsors in attendance were Mike Witt – Purina; Bob Sass – Tri-Tronics; Dion Bliss – Red Haw Supply and Bob Bertram – Dog Portraits of Dis- tinction. The 2010 Dog of the Year Ring was presented to Chris Mullins for his win at the 2010 DOY trial along with the Bob Bertram presentation – 2010 Portrait of the Dog of the Year Winner. Marilyn Cunningham presented Jeff Gamble a portrait of Quail Ridge Ranger – winner of the 2011 NSTRA Performance Classic. This portrait is a penciled drawing by Steve Kyles – Wildlife Artist from Odum, GA. 2011 Top Performance belt buckles were presented to: 1st - Wes Barr & Greg Wood – Tomoka’s Smokin J.R. – 77 points 2nd – Adam Fellers – Premier’s Fancy Trail Blazer – 69 points; 3rd – Tom Rotundo – Last Dance Lily; and 4th – Chad Calicott – Blaze’s Black Magic – 64 points.

february/march 2012 i 38 i Two dogs were initiated into the NSTRA Hall of Fame – Burchel’s Dutchman – Scott Townsend & Roy Burchel and Crosswind Truckin Fritz – Scott Townsend. Scott was on hand to accept these awards. Frank Llano presented the scholarship awards and are as follows: $2,500 to Karli Schwimley, MSM Region; $1,500 to Josh Martin – Lone Star Region; and $1,000 to Chris Mullins – MS Region.

The trophies for Wednesday and Thursday’s running were read by Garry and presented by each field marshal for their respective fields.

After the final brace of the day, the field marshals made their way to the clubhouse with their final scores. Upon deletion of the 72 dogs that did not advance, the Top 24 were left for Saturday’s draw. The trial was drawn, printed and handed out to the advancing handlers. Garry then announced that the winners of Friday’s trial would be presented. The field marshals from their respective fields presented the trophies to the top 3 from each field. As nothing was planned for the evening, everyone was on their own with many going to the Coachman in Plainfield, and the Clayton Café for catfish. We again asked our field cleaners to be on the field at daylight with the trial starting when all fields were cleaned. Saturday A field with Frank, Donny and Mary Kay follows with the top 2 from each field advancing to three ½ hour braces in A field.

Of note, four of the guys that made it to the Saturday morning braces were from the same county (Coweta County) in Georgia. Bill Minton, Bill Millians, Terry Ransone, and Bobby Wheat all live within 30 to 40 miles of each other. Great job from the Alabama boys. Also, it was good to have Billy Richard- son and his wife, Kathy, all the way from Goldendale, Washington. That WAS a long trip.

Take care, be safe and happy trialing until we meet again.
