Nick Thompson and Whippoorwill Wild Agin, 2006 National Championship

Thanks to Nick for taking time to speak with me at the 2013 National Championship. He was just getting ready to scout Connor’s EZ Button in the 10th brace for Steve Hurdle. Nick scouted EZ Button the previous year when he won the National Championship. He scouted Touch’s Whiteout (Ike Todd, handler) the 2011 winner and his first National Champion, Whippoorwill Wild Agin (Larry Huffman, handler) in 2008.

ABOUT STRIDEAWAY

Strideaway is an online publication founded in 2008. We are dedicated to promoting the great sport of American pointing dog field trials, in particular American Field sanctioned trials for pointers and setters. Our objective is to present the voices and ideas of experienced trainers, handlers, breeders and other knowledgeable participants and enthusiasts from the past to the present — amateurs and professionals alike. Whether All-Age or Shooting Dog, Horseback or Walking Trials, we place particular emphasis on wild bird field trials and the dogs that compete in them. We present richly illustrated articles and stories, podcast interviews and other types of media on a regular basis with the hope of providing an ever expanding, searchable archive of information relevant to pointing dog field trials.Read article

This website is dedicated to our ever faithful friend, Bill Allen who passed away peacefully and surrounded by his loving family on January 25, 2022 at the age of 96. We will miss him but he left us the greatest of gifts, his wonderful writings in a book we published for the 3rd time in 2021: The Unforgettables and Other True Fables.
