“IS A HUGE SUCCESS!”

Handlers limited to members age 62 & older!

“Oldest Handler Award” Presented to: Gordon Doeschot, Midwest Region and Joe Stevenson, Missouri Show Me Region. by Ted Dewey, Trial Chairman

WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 23 I G Saturday morning, May 9th, the sun came up over the Rock Creek Field Trial grounds, Waverly, Nebraska. It shone down on 20 handlers and their 32 dogs, representing 6 states and 3 different regions. Three handlers had come out of retirement. All were gathered to participate in the First NSTRA “Old Geezer’s Trial”.

By 7:30 A.M. all birth certificates had been checked and handler’s given their one and only warning, “NO RUNNING IN THE FIELD”. The field marshal, Dawn Dewey, had the Waverly Fire, Rescue and Emergency Unit on speed dial and shouted, “Let the fun begin!”

Todd Hendrix and Aaron Hunt, both from Rock Creek, started “A” field promptly at 7:30, followed closely by “B” field, judged by Kyle Kopfmann and Brad Goddard from the MoKan region. Birds were being planted by the very capable Jeff Jones from Rock Creek.

A huge thank you goes out to the judges, bird planter, marshal, and Jeff Ryan who voluntarily donated their time and talents to this trial.

Noon lunch was prepared by Jeff Ryan, Rock Creek member and Master Chef. He served great cheeseburgers and potato salad accompanied by vast quantities of fiber and prune juice. With our hunger satisfied, it was decided we should take a group picture and present the first Senior “Old Geezer” award. This award was presented to Gordon “A” Field Winners Doeschot, Midwest region and Joe Stevenson, 1st- Terry Prenosil and Lefty 2nd - Dennis Hill and Grace Missouri Show Me region. The award will go 3rd - Terry Ward and Gus 4th - Tom Tambke and Mo annually to the oldest handler in the trial. Each of these amazing men is 82. They received individual plaques and their names will appear on a permanent plaque in the club house.

All participants were extremely enthusiastic about the trial and repeated over and over how much fun the trial had been. They were very appreciative and thanked the National Officers who supported this new concept for thinking outside the box and sanctioning a new venue which benefits the membership, clubs and NSTRA.

I would strongly encourage other regions to host an “B” Field Winners 1st - Charlie Strawn and Ike 2nd - Frank Downs and Hawk “Old Geezer” trial in their areas. It does work. 3rd - Bob Power and Chip (owned by Tom Tambke) 4th - Ted Dewey and Dee

Rossman's Fancy Hi-Jinx SRF Vicki Rossman holding Jinx 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.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2015 I 32 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG FIELD TRIAL JUDGES The summer break The judging of field trials is an inexact science. The men who perform this frequently provides us with arduous, and often thankless, task are not endowed with any special powers bordering on the supernatural. They are ordinary human beings, honestly endeavoring to bestow field trial honors where they justly belong. They are, of course, capable of making errors, and sometimes the opportunity to do, for they have no particular gift of infallibility. This is not to say that any conscientious sportsman would make a good field trial judge, for organize and review there are certain attributes which every capable arbiter should possess. He should, first, be honest, fearless and absolutely impartial; wholly without prejudice for material that has or against any particular breed, dog, style or type of performance or individual. Secondly, he should have the mental ability to quickly analyze a situation and properly interpret it. Third, he been stored away for should be calm and dispassionate in temperament; not easily ruffled and not willing to risk snap judgment. Fourth, he should be physically able to withstand long hours in the saddle without many years. In this impairment to physical or mental alertness. These are not mysteriously magical qualities. Most sportsmen possess some or all of them process a booklet in some degree. But to find a man who possesses all in high degree is not as easy as it might seem. Things sometimes happen fast in field trials and the ability to quickly analyze and was found that, in all properly interpret a rapid-fire action is generally born of considerable experience. It is not necessary for a man to have years of experience in the judicial saddle before he becomes a capable judge; on the other hand, his knowledge of true bird dog performance values can best likelihood, was used be obtained through caring for, hunting behind, handling, and better still, training his own bird dogs. When he has done this, he is better equipped to recognize and more fully appreciate in the development of quality in bird dog performance. Such experience makes it less difficult for him to understand the mental processes and reactions of a bird dog and makes obvious to him those little NSTRA. It appears, nuances in performance which are so often important but so frequently overlooked by the less experienced. from the following No person should accept an invitation to act as a judge unless he is willing and, in fact, determined to run each stake to its logical conclusion. Although he receives no remuneration excerpt, little has for his work, he should recognize the fact that each contesting dog is exceedingly important to its owner or handler and merits his full attention regardless of the quality of its performance. changed in 65 years. No judging assignment, not matter how relatively unimportant it might be, should be taken lightly. Field trial judges, though their task be a thankless one, should not become incensed at honest and sincere criticism, provided it does not impugn their integrity. Seldom is it that any one person can see everything that happens at a field trial. And seldom is it that two people see or interpret a single situation exactly alike. Field trial judges have a better opportunity to see more of what transpires than any member of the gallery. Before any spectator, owner or handler criticizes any decision he should first ask himself for an honest answer to the following questions: “Did I see all of the running of all the dogs? Did I see everything that transpired? How would I have evaluated certain work which was apparently penalized and the work which was apparently highly valued?” Such self-interrogation may put the decision in a different light. Field trial judges do like to be treated as “untouchables.” Club officials should, however, make every effort to ease their task through the provision of every possible comfort and convenience. Ever spectator and contestant alike should accord them the full respect and courtesy which the dignity of their position and their unselfish devotion to the sport commands. New and younger judging talent is sorely needed in field trials. Field trial committees should give serious consideration to the inviting of young and enthusiastic field trial devotees to act as judges, giving them the benefit of serving with older men of seasoned experience. Without field trial judges, there can be no field trials.

Standards of Judicial Practice and Field Trial Procedure Gaines Dog Research Center, June 21, 1950 WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 33 I G 2015 UKC NSTRA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP May 27– 30 As NSTRA trailers from throughout the United States gathered at the Rock Creek Birddog Club in Waverly, Nebraska they were greeted by cool temperatures and lots of rain. The trial is sponsored by the United Kennel Club and become a popular Spring Championship. Although the parking lot did not look like a lake (as was the case 2 years ago), the fields were soggy and damp most of the week. We cannot control the weather, so instead of complaining, handlers jumped right into the mess and enjoyed the mud and slush. The cool weather was accommodating to the dogs with scenting conditions changing as the day advanced. A 4-day pre-trial was held on Saturday thru Tuesday prior to the start of the championship event. Mike Rost and Todd Hendrix were responsible for the trial on Saturday and Sunday with Randy and Amanda Tangeman and family hosting on Monday and Tuesday. There is an immense amount of work involved in hosting a 4 day pre-trial and these folks are to be commended for their dedication to the sport and club. Many participants were welcomed to camp on the ground with water and septic pumping available. If you were lucky, you were invited to a meal prepared by the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Shaun Rydl. Shaun is a connoisseur when it comes to grilling and many campers enjoyed his treats.

Our judges for the week were Shaun Rydl (MW), Randy Tangemann (MW), Bodie Ray (GA), and Doug Cartwright (BSR). A little judging trivia follows: Shaun with 99 trials, 6 Regionals, 10 Championships; Randy judging 64 trials, 3 Regionals, 2 Championships; Bodie – 405 trials, 10 Regionals, 22 Championships; and Doug – 103 trials, 9 Regionals, 5 Championships. Quite an impressive record for the judging experience of this trial to say the least. Our field marshals were Dawn Dewey (M) and Joel Cartwright (BSR). Dawn is quite experienced as a marshal and being Joel’s first championship assignment as mar- shal, combined they did an exceptional job. Cory Perdue (GA) was in charge of handling the birds for the trial, and as usual, does a bang-up job. Even if you’re sure you know where he places a bird, often you’re wrong. Cory just has a way about him (some say it’s even a little sneaky). A special thanks to these people for taking time out of their busy lives, some com- ing from many miles away to make this a great trial for all. Trial coordinator was Marilyn Cunningham (IL) with helper, Shelby Albert (IL). Trial Chairman, Chad Collison, and Co-Chairman, Todd Hendrix met with trial officials on Wednesday morning to explain boundaries and safety areas. After a hearty breakfast prepared by the two T’s, Ted Dewey and Tom Tambke, the National Anthem was played and the first brace called to the blind. A field officials were Bodie, Randy and Joel. The Top 16 dogs from each field would advance for Friday’s trial and the running follows:

Immediately following the trial, everyone retired to the Community Center in Waverly for the banquet and silent auction. The invocation was given and a delicious meal was served consisting of pulled chicken, pulled pork, potato casserole, spaghetti corn, lettuce salad, and a NSTRA decorated cake. The meat was prepared by Dave Paitz and Aaron Hunt which was awesome. The women of the club prepared super delicious side dishes. No catering for this bunch of gals.

The Rock Creek Club presented trophies from the previous weekend and thanked everyone for their support of the trial, after which Chad introduced and thanked the Championship Trial Officials. He also mentioned our sponsors for which we are truly thankful; Todd Kellam and Sara Chisnell – UKC; Purina – Dean Reinke; Anheuser Busch – Double Eagle Distribu- tors; Garmin; Boyt Harness; Stacks & Points with Cheryl and Ken Crisler; and Wett Mutt – Eddie Dunford. Past President, Ted Dewey, was recognized and Chad also asked for field cleaners for Thursday morning. The silent auction brought in excellent money for the club and their thanks to all who contributed.

Thursday was a cool, cloudy day with a shower in the afternoon but perfect weather for the dogs. Officials switched fields and the running follows:

Saturday’s drawing was held after the trial with the results posted at the clubhouse. Trophies were also presented for Friday’s trial by Chairman, Chad Collison. A 6:30 a.m. start time was posted for Saturday, as it would be a long day beginning with 8 braces on each field and dividing the number of braces in half until the final hour championship.There were no festivities planned for Friday evening so everyone was on their own whether it be cooking at the campers or visiting restaurants in the area.

Saturday’s running follows with *** denoting brace winners advancement. Bodie, Randy and Joel were the A field officials and scored the following:

At the end of Round 5, we knew who would be in the Top Four; however, we did not know in what order. Only short breaks were taken between rounds; just enough time to have the fields cleaned and start again. Judges remained in the same fields as Cory once again did an exceptional plant.

At this point, we now knew that our 3rd runner-up was Stott’s Silly Cici with Mike Stotts and 2nd runner-up was Quail Val- ley’s Nose Knows handled by John Resa. By the time these two braces finished, we were looking at 6:00 p.m. Scout with Roger and Joe with Mike were allowed up to one hour’s break, but decided to start after approximately 30 minutes. Han- dlers, officials and sponsors were called to the blind for pictures at 6:30 after which Cory placed the 10 birds throughoutA & B fields. Doug and Shaun were called to judge the one hour final and brought handlers and dogs to the starting line at 6:45 p.m. Upon completion of the one hour final, MOONSHINE’S SLATE CREEK JOE emerged the UKC Performance Trial National Champion scoring on 5 finds (89,78,86,82,85) 4 retrieves (82, 85, 84, 73) 61.5 obedience, 88 ground coverage, 50 back to- taling 943.5 points. 1st runner-up KICKAPOO JACK’S SCOUT scored on 4 finds (56, 83, 85, 90), 4 retrieves (84, 82 ,82, 80), 59 obedience and 81 ground coverage totaling 782 points. As both handlers came from the field, they greeted each other with congratulatory handshakes. A gallery picture was taken soon after the final brace as we were trying to beat the darkness. The trophy presentation was held in front of the clubhouse with Chad and various sponsors making the presentations.

WWW.NSTRA.ORG I 53 I G Our 3rd runner-up was Stott’s Silly Cici owned by Edie and handled by Mike Stotts. They are members of the North West Region.

Second runner-up hails from the MoKan Region, Quail Valley’s Nose Knows, 6 year old German Shorthair Female, owned by Adam Fellers and handled by John Resa. Adam was unable to attend the trial as the Feller’s Family was blessed with a new baby boy, Jameson, during the trial. This was a special day for Nose as this was her 7th time in the Top Four, made her an 18 time NSTRA Champion and happened on her 6th birthday. Quite a day indeed.

Each participant also received the NSTRA trial hat and a 2015 UKC Performance Trial Tervis Glass with lid,, 4 -2# bags of Pro Plan per dog from Purina, a $25 gift card from Cabela’s compliments of UKC, and hand sanitizer from Purina. Again, our thanks to the Rock Creek Club for a great week, some fun times, and wonderful meals coordinated by Amanda Tangeman. Several women that provided salads and desserts were Michelle Hanson and Natalie Hendrix. The spaghetti corn made by Kim Lathrop was a huge success and several went home with the recipe. Kim and husband, Dave also pro- vided the meat for the banquet.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2015 I 54 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG Now, in regards to the 100 point retrieve received by Buster with John Blank there’s a great story behind the score. As was told to me, the bird was pointed more than once during the brace, but handlers were unable to find the bird. Finally, John took Buster back into the area which was close to a pond. Unable to once again locate the bird, John sent Buster into the pond. Being deeper than he thought, Buster came up and again pointed with only his head and a small tip on his tail showing. When John flushed right at the edge of the pond, he was able to finally locate the bird, throw for a retrieve and receive the 100 points. No small fete for a dog and John didn’t do bad himself. Great work. Judge, Shaun Rydl, named Jeff Keck the sportsman of the week. Shaun has the story to tell, so I’ll let him do so. But sportsmanship is still of huge part of the game. Congratulations Jeff. My sincere thanks to Marie “Kit” Brown for all her help with the pictures for the magazine. The close up pictures of dogs on point, retrieve, whatever are from Marie and her “super” lens. Great job Marie. And thanks also to Shelby for pitching in when needed. Both these gals were a huge help. Sam Ashmore took a big chance in coming from Florida to Nebraska with no absolute run, but relying on a paid bye spot which might come available.
