Blair's Witch Project

The National Bird Hunters Association would like to formally announce the 2023-2024 Hall of Fame Induction Class.
This year, we are proud to honor and cement into history the legendary setter male, Blair's Witch Project owned and handled by Greg Blair of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "Guy" as he was affectionately known, was also guided and handled in open stakes company through the capable hands of longstanding NHBA professional stalwart Tom Waite of Dale Creek Gun Dogs in Burlington, Wisconsin.
A product of breeding by consummate setter breeder Dr. Alan Dunbar; Blair's Witch Project was by Dunbar's champion GF Witch Doctor out of a CH Barker's Blue Jett female. A chance on a white and black ticked pup would soon see Guy's connections catapulted to the top of several performance arenas including walking trials, coverdog trials, and horseback trials both of American Field and AKC standards.
By the end of his career, Blair's Witch Project had secured four national championships, one regional championship, and one runner-up national championship with two of his national titles being impressively in callback formats. Guy also earned the title of AKC Field Champion, showcasing his versatility by winning in various formats. The dog would begin his march into greatness in the Fall of 2013 during his derby season garnering his first placement in a wild bird championship stake. Guy's success continued as he accumulated numerous championships and DOY awards until his career concluded in 2021.
Not only was guy a top performer, he was biddable winning under the aforementioned handlers and also included Greg's daughter Maddie Blair.
