Blackhawk's English Pointers
Hello, i am kurt coburn starter of blackhawk kennels. My interest in bird dog's began when i was a young boy hunting with my dad and his dog's. I think it is something that is embedded in your heart forever, at least for me. I have fallen in love with the English pointer breed, the style stamina, prey drive and sheer eagerness to please is amazing.
I thank you for looking at our kennel we are not a puppy farm nor your run of the mill dog factory. We are focused on producing only the finest, highest quality bird dog's available. I only have what i can manage and give my full attention to.
I am a huge fan of HonkyTonk Attitude and the dog's he has produced, I have found some of the greatest traits out of these lines, sheer bird dog's with great noses. I also am a huge fan of crowes little joe, these dog's records speak for themselves, i am grateful for these dog's in the pointer world, and for what they have done.
I hope you enjoy your visit here and be sure to visit all the pages, i love to chat bird dog's so if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Thank you so much
kurt

WHAT A YEAR! DOC FINISHE'S 4TH IN THE UTAH REGIONAL!!
Well, last Saturday was the regional finals for Utah. doc was qualified, so was star but she ran in Arizona's, and you can only run in one region, so doc was my only hope to win. The trial grounds were beautiful they were up around woodland, a place called wolf creek. It was overcast with on and off rain, but overall great conditions to run dog's.
The way the regional trial format work's is, there were 26 dog's qualified, so they draw dog's and we have 13 braces. The top 6 highest scores move on to the finals. Then the top 2 from the top 6 run for the championship.
Let's just say me and doc should have ran in the championship. Doc just squeaked in 6th place in the qualification round, we should have done better but had a couple of bad breaks. So on to the top six we go, doc drew the last brace with a really good female pointer named pepsi, who won the qualification round. So we waited with butterflies in the stomach until are turn.
We got a bad start, doc was casting out and ran over the top of a bird and it flew and he couldn't resist and went and got it...... so no score there. We went on up the valley and bing dog goes on point a solid point.............$hit can't find a bird anywhere. So on we go again, doc rolls up this hill and bing solid point again. I call find look down to close my gun, look back up and bird wild flushes, and doc starts to go but i called him off of it. This should be a scored bird, with no chance to retrieve, because i was to far away to shoot and it wild flushed. But unfortunately the judge did not see any of it he was below me trying to make his way up the hill, and a judge cannot judge what he cannot see. It was hard to take, but being a judge myself i know this was the right call.
So I'm into this half hour brace halfway with no birds!!!!! I know the other guy has at least 2. So on we go doc was handling very good quartering and covering alot of ground, we came down off this little draw and bam he hit one hard, i walk over flush shoot......bird goes down i walk over an d release doc and he didn't mark the bird very well. We couldn't get the retrieve, it was a long retrieve and we tried for 3 minutes to get it. For those who don't know once you shoot a bird you cannot move from the spot you shot it from, so i was throwing sticks and rocks trying to get him to locate it with no luck. I am ready to puke at this point. So i finally moved on and doc ran 5o yards and bam hit another one, this time i am letting doc release at the shot. So i go flush, shoot , and kill the bird and doc scoops up the retrieve, and there was only 2 minutes left so we finished with 2 finds but only one retrieve. for a score of 406. The 3rd place had 470 if i would of had that retrieve or the wildflush bird we would have been in the championship. AgHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Anyway the winner was very deserving and did a great job congrats to jason wilde and molly they did great.
I am very proud of my dog's accomplishments over the last year, star accumulated 11 points in one year and doc only trialed half a year and accumulated 5.
STAR FINISHES 6TH IN ARIZONA'S REGION
Star finishes 6th in the Arizona regional, i decided to let star run the the arizona's regional this year because she is in heat at the time of our regional here in utah. She took 1st in the qualification round and finished 6th. She is a fine dog and will have a great trialing season in 2010!
