 ABOUT THE EPISODE

• OPEN: Conversation about Writer/ Field Trial Reporter/ and Field Trialer John Crisswell.  I was reading the book he wrote on Leon Convington entitled, “COV” at the time with great interest in learning about the Rebel strain of Pointers and Leon Covington’s impact on the American Field and bird dog development.
• In this episode we discuss: getting a random call from John Crisswell; the origins of the Rebel line of Pointer; traits of Rebel dogs; 
• The conversation ENDS with the introduction of Mike Hester
• I see these episodes as an evolving series detailing the origins of my learning from Mike Hester.  Meeting role models is game changing for anyone looking to better their practice, whatever it may be, and this story is my version of the experience, various personalities, and extensive histories of American Field trials.
• Pointing Labs DO point!
•  

Miscellaneous News

• ITS KENTUCKY DERBY WEEK SEASON!  I haven't quite made my decisions on who I like yet.
