I know there are several chatpers of NAVHDA in Michigan. Visit www.NAVHDA.org. There is the Michigan and Northern Michigan chapter. All lower pennisula based. If in the Upper part there are quite afew chapters in Wisc.

Now the reason I say this is you will see a wide variety of pointing breeds local to your area. And you wll meet many people so ask questions. NAVHDA is the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Assoc. which was formed to help train you to train your own versatile pointing hutning dog before and after the shot on both land and water.
