We would like to thank the NBHA and all their sponsors; Purina, Tri-Tronics, Christie Enterprises and Gun Dog Supply. Without their continued support, trials like ours would not be a success.

NBHA displayed at Pheasant Fest 2012 put on by Pheasants and Quail Forever on the three day weekend of February 17-19. The booths were open from Friday 1pm-9pm, Saturday from 9am to 6pm and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. I have not heard an official attendance report yet but on Friday afternoon and most of Saturday, it was hard getting up and down the aisles for the number of folks crowded in. I expect the crowd was in excess of 25,000 for the three days.

NBHA Midwest Regional Championship concluded on Sunday January 15th at the Posey WMA north of Chillicothe, MO. Posey WMA is made up of more than 5000 acres of diverse habitat. Most of the course consisted of small grain fields, some mowed fields and fields that have several different species of native grass growing that are bordered by brushy edges and timber draws. These grounds make for an excellent place for a bird dog to test its ability in finding birds.

The Alabama Region of the NBHA hosted the National Amateur Invitational Championship. We were privileged to have the use of Ken Tolbert’s training grounds and facilities not to mention his equipment, dog trailer, four wheelers, of course the legendary Mr. Charles Aston and his mechanical mule handled the dog wagon chores and helped everyone that needed assistance. We would have been hard pressed to have put this stake on without the generosity of Ken Tolbert, his family, Mr. Charles Aston, Mr. Brud Powell of Arab, AL. Ken Tolbert and Brud Powell of Arab Ala. filled the judicial saddles for both stakes. We want to also thank our generous sponsors for the continuing support of our events. The NBHA and event host are truly rewarded by the support from Purina, Tri-Tronic’s, Christie Enterprises, and Gun Dog Supply. All of the added winner’s gifts are additional rewards for their effort in the bird dog world. Thanks again to everyone.
