Local bird dog club

[RyeGuy74]

Somewhat recommended that I try to find a local bird dog club for me and dog, but either there's not one around me (Central NC) or Google just can't find one by itself. This is my last effort but does anyone maybe have another source I can try? Appreciate all the help!

Check out breed specific clubs. Most states have them for each working breed. Akc might have a list?

Appreciate it, I'll check it out!

no problem, next step if that fails would be to call some of the big breeding operations for your breed. They usually have a pulse on stuff like that

I'd reach out to the local Pheasants Forever or Ducks unlimited. They have a lot of information and usually other Sportsman like you.

NAVHDA is a great resource. Doesn’t matter if it’s a pointing dog, retriever, flushing dog or versatile. They’ll be experienced people there to help you. I believe the guy from Rusted Guns Kennel in NC is heavily involved with both chapters there, Foothills and Tarhill I think.

That was me, I think

I was referring to a game farm/preserve hunt operation. they tend to have both training fields (our two local ones do) that members can use (we just buy birds and place them ourselves), as well as dog trainers that can be hired. Our place has discounts on all of the above plus sporting clays and some other stuff for a very reasonable annual fee.

I dont know what is considered ‘central’ in NC, but this looks promising: http://andersoncreekhunting.com/hunting-dogs/
