Our History

In 1974 I acquired my first bird dog. "Penny" was of questionable breeding however, she was a formidable adversary where pheasants were concerned. It wasn’t until 1976 that our Brittany "Brutus" came along. Brute and I began competing in the various pointing dog venues when he was just a pup. Before he left us, he had achieved the titles of:

C.K.C. Field Trial Champion
C.K.C. Amateur Field Trial Champion
C.K.C. Field Dog Excellent
A.K.C. Field Trial Champion

And so, the seed was planted. Since then, I have had the pleasure of sharing many successes afield in horseback trials, walking trials, and wild bird trials with various pointing breeds.

It has been rewarding to have attended trials as a competitor as well as having performed numerous judging assignments in both Canada and the USA.

Along with numerous successes in competitive events, I have had the delightful pleasure of hunting grouse in the moors of Scotland, migrating quail in Italy, Huns & sharp-tail in western Canada, and all manner of local upland game-birds. It is these wonderful memories of the past, and the exciting expectations of the future that are part and parcel of what teamwork and pointing dogs are all about.

To this day, I hunt my field trial dogs, and field trial my personal hunting dogs.
