Winner: Bo Bunda with his handler Michael Martino, owner Jack Arrington. Along with family, friends and trial officials.

The 61st renewal of the prestigious National Open Shooting Dog Championship began Monday, January 31 and concluded February 8. A string of 64, which included 57 pointers and 7 setters were drawn to compete for the best of the best. Eighteen of the most renowned, professional and amateur dog handlers vied for the title of their dog to be named Champion.

The venue for this historical event was none other than the famous Sedgefield Plantation, near Union Springs, Ala. If one has never visited there, you should add it to your list. The towering pines, native grasses and food plots make for the perfect bob white habitat. Sedgefield is owned by Raymond and Katheryn Harbert. Without their continued generosity of the used of their beautiful facilities and grounds, it would be almost impossible to hold such a prominent event. The Harbert's are to be commended for their kindness and hospitality.

A huge thank you also goes out to Jason Howard, Sedgefield manager and field trial board member. He and all the plantation staff the help make the trial run smoothly. From manning the road crossings to making sure the trash barrels are empty. It all gets done every day. Another notable board member and major part of the Sedgefield operation is Bill Lee. He is on hand daily as the stake manager and does whatever it takes make the trial run fluently. He is also one of head marshals during the stake. His love for the sport and the people is well noted throughout the field trial world. If something needs to be addressed during the running, Bill Lee is the "go to" man who always has a plan. The club President, Joe Varner was also on hand each day assisting with the chores and was on horseback for much of the running. Joe is a Union Springs native and his passion for the sport and the outdoors run deep. He and his wife, Shirley commit lots of time and resources for the National, but also support all surrounding bird dog events.

Most all successful field trial clubs have a secretary and treasurer, but none are so lucky to have Heather Klinck. Heather can do it all and does it all. She takes care of the Ad, entries, judges, dog wagon goodies, and does all the scheduling for each day and night events. She can even be spotted on horseback for several braces, just to make sure everyone is doing their part. From flower arrangements to judges books, Heather gets is all done. Her time and dedication are one of the major parts of the trials success each year.
Steve Hutto and Bo Brewer were responsible for the dog wagon duties. These two gentlemen were always in the right places and the right times. They only got the dog wagon stuck one time, and it was pulled out with ease. Minding the marshaling duties were Hunter McDuffie, Chance Kelley, Harrison Lee, and Harold Johnson. With these men in attendance no handler took wrong turns, and judges were never left behind.

Purina is the official dog food sponsor. Their representative, Greg Blair was in attendance for several days, and was accompanied by his daughter one afternoon who attends Auburn University. Purina is a very important part of this championship, not only do they provide financially, but also with rewards, gifts and dog food to the winner. Without the support of Greg Blair, and Purina our sport would be nearly dissolved. Other official sponsors for the trial were, Garmin, 5 Star Equine Products, Dan's hunting gear, and The Saddle Guy. Sponsoring the dog wagon goodies this year were Julie and Pat Roach, Eater Plantation-The Chris Campbell Family, Terry Reinke, and Lawton Huggins.

A full course breakfast was served each morning during the running. It was provided by the Tourism Council of Bullock County, and their large number of Sponsors. The delicious lunches were prepared and served each day by Ginny Allen and the Union Springs Country Club.
There was a function every evening during the running. The drawing was Saturday night in the Sedgefield Field house. Joe and Ceclia Moorer sponsored the cocktails, and the dinner was prepared by the Union Springs Country Club. More than sixty were in attendance for the anticipation of the draw.

The Champion

Earning the title of National Champion is everyone in the field trial fraternity's goal and dream. Lots of time, effort, hard work, determination, and of course a little luck, is what creates champions. When Bo Bunda was turned loose at the morning breakaway, it was obvious his intentions were to win. This accomplishment for Bo and his team, was a first for many. Jack Arrington from Seale, AL is Bo's owner. The young, 91-year-old Mr. Jack has bred, raised and broke many dogs in his lifetime, but this was the first time he's owned the dog that was named national champion. This 8-year-old white and orange pointer male is out of Quaking Lady by Champion Conway Twitty. Mr. Jack knew the dog had great potential as a pup and has had a successful career. Life hasn't always been so easy for the newly named champion. A couple years ago he was diagnosed with cancer, but through surgery and treatments this tough competitor beat the life threating disease.

This achievement was also a first for Bo's handler, Michael Martino. Michael is also a native a Union Springs and grew up at the corner of Sedgefield. As a young boy he would ride horses for his father and could see the hunters with dogs and horses going across the woods at the adjoining property. One day Mr. Joe McFerrin, who was the plantation manager at time, noticed this young boy watching from afar, so he invited him to come join them for the next hunt. It was then Michael knew this is what he wanted to do. For a few years after that he would assist Mr. Joe with the dogs and the hunting parties. When he was just 14 years old, he met the late, Hall of Famer, Robin Gates. Robin took Michael under his wing, and for five years he made the trip North to the Gates summer camp to learn about training and handling dogs. It wasn't long before he got a job working on some quail plantations and was taking out hunts. Michael also contributes much of his knowledge about the business from his father-in-law and renowned trainer, Freddie Rayl. He and Freddie have spent lots of time training together and have made the trip north for several years. Michaeal has been out on his own now for a few years developing a nice string of dogs. He told me "I've been very fortunate with great owners and great dogs that allow me to do what I love which also provides a living for my family. Many of them also allow me to work dogs on their property as well."

Bo Bunda was braced in the 21st brace with Irony Bully (Mike Tracy). It was Sunday morning on February 6th, and the temperature was a freezing 28 degrees. Bully went birdless and was picked up at 40. When Bo was released, it was obvious that he had birds on his mind. Just before crossing the road at 10, scout Murphy Renfroe called point on the ride side in the pines. As Martino started in front of his dog, a considerable covey of bobwhites flushed back to the east. Bo's 2nd fashionable piece of bird work came at 19 on top of the hill before making the swing towards Kelly Thomas. Martino was riding the ride side calling on him, when he rode up to him pointed. Before crossing the levee at the Big Lake at 39, the gallery watched as Bo winded game. He hunted down the food plot about 30 yards and had them pinned crediting him with find No. 3. At 47 Bo was crossing the levee when he swapped ends on the left side. Martino had to ride off the hill a bit to get in front of his dog, but after only a few steps a nice covey was produced. His 5th classy find came at 54 making the swing on the side of the Big Lake, all was in order. By now the judges and gallery were all riding on the tips of their toes. Just 4 minutes later, at 58 he pointed again towards the back side of the lake. Again, producing game granting him with a 6th find. His 7th and final staunching piece of bird work came at 1:13 making the horseshoe on the south side of the Big Lake. The hour and a half completed in the greenfield just before the crossroad. Bo was strong, stylish and enthusiastic the entire 90 minutes. He was dashing around his game and had a good rapport with his handle. It was a remarkable performance which attained the National Champion title.
