On Sunday Bullett finished his FC at the San Antonio GSP Club trial. He did it the hardest way possible in that all of his points came in Major adult stakes. He also did so impressively by winning in 5 of the last six trials I ran him in and did so under different judges even in different stakes. He even won back to back three point retrieving majors over the last two weekends. Here's a real short Bio on Bullett: For his first five years Bullett was my number one “go to bird finder” when the chips were down, while guiding wild bird hunts, no matter what species we were after or state we were in. By the time he was four he'd mastered every species of upland bird from Texas to Washington State. I can't count the coveys and singles he pointed nor the retrieves to hand which were well over four thousand before I ever saw my first field trial. He was nearly six before I broke him steady to wing and shot (always let him break on the rise) and he finished his FC in under four years with all of his placements coming in adult "major" stakes. He accumulated 12 championship points by winning four of 6 trials over a 10 month period from Feb14 08-Jan 24 09. The good Lord blesses a man very rarely as he has me with such great friends and mentors and such a fine dog. He'll be 9 in May and gets better every time we put him on the ground.CR

Congratulations. I always love it when people take time to write a tribute to a dog that has done their job exceptionally well. Lucky man---lucky dog.

Thanks. Now here's a funny for you. Take a good look at the picture posted above. That's not a "posed shot". This was in KS after his first win last season. We'd let him out to run around before loading up to go so he could do his business. Donna also wanted to get a picture there on the grounds. Well he'd made a good round, took care of business and I called him back. He was a couple or three hundred yards out (we were last to leave) and came screaming back in. As he ran through the call back area low and behold he had a find on a bird that had escaped unscathed. Told Donna to grab the camera since I already had the ribbon and just walked up and had her shoot it like that. She also brought out the shotgun for me so after the picture we worked the find and I shot the bird for him. For him there's no bigger reward than getting to retrieve so it worked out just fine. To finish last sunday he had a typical screwed up call back with birds that wouldn't fly. I punted his bird five yards the first time, about ten the second, and then finally just picked it up and threw it straight up (with judges permission) to finally get it to fly. As usual, straight out, straight back, brought to heel, and delivered to hand. Not to bad for a dog that has never been FF'd, nor produced a pup than needed to be either! He's a great dog, and I'm just fortunate in that I saw it in him and bought him as a youngster.

What bloodlines is Bullett from. He sounds like a dog with very very strong natural instincts.

Here's a link to his pedigree. He's a son of FC/NFC/Rincon's Slick Willy. Lots of Rusty on the Dam Side. You're right, very smart, very natural birddog with a full choke nose. Roy Yamamoto bred him, I was luck enough to stumble on to him and he's made me look like a pretty smart guy. Best thing about him though is that he produces even better than himself. All of his offspring we've trialed at any level have placed, and most have won. I have some young dogs that will be making their FT Debut this spring that are really something special. Hopefully there's still lots more to come. http://www.wildrosegermanshorthairs.com/images/pedigrees/Bullet's%20Ped.htm

Fan, if you're talking about the dog that won the derby there in the White Mountains, no, this is his father! Bullett did have back to back wins though last spring in Kansas at the Sunflower club trials.
