Reflections on Past National Championships ~ Nathan Cottrell

Nathan Cottrell

Nathan Cottrell judged the National Championship from 1987 though 2001 with the exception of the 2000 running. He is also a past competitor. While we sat in my car at a road crossing at the 2012 National Championship, Nathan kindly recalled some of the more memorable performances he has seen.

Unfortunately, a quiet spot to conduct interviews is not easy to find while watching the National. Apologies for the poor quality of this recording.

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.
