Thanks Jashoffa, I've checked NAVHDA site but a navhda dog isn't really for me. I would have a hard enough time training a dog for upland birds to include ducks and vise versa. Plus, I enjoy watching a good pointing dog work and would love to train another one.

I did find the FDSB site which list kennels for FDSB registered setters. I even recognized some of early pedigree. Amazing. All FDSB field trials are mostly held in the SouthEast with one in AZ and TX and surpisingly several are held in Japan. Bad news is english pointers have been dominating the last twenty years. Makes sense, not many AKCers breed and show pointers.

A simple history about FDSB (which does these trials - FDSB and American Field are one and the same) is at the AKC site: http://www.akc.org/dic/events/fieldt...y_pointing.cfm

After all this, I will probably fly in one of these setters, Llewelyn, or pointer.
