When did you begin competing in Field Trials?
I ran some club trials as a kid with my dad but kinda got out of it but then got back into it this year with this dog
What made you decide to compete in Field Trials?
I like to watch the dogs work and enjoy the competition.
Who are your training partners at home?
My wife and some close friends.
What is the origin of your dog’s name?
My dad used to say tally ho to our dogs for hunt um up sometimes and he passed away the spring before I got this dog so it kinda felt right to name her that.
Tell us an interesting story or fact about your dog.
I wasn’t really looking for a pup, but the last good dog I had had the same sire as this pup. I grew up around the sire because his owner was a good family friend and showed my dad and I how to train dogs. So when I saw this breeding pop up I decided to get one of the pups. Very happy I did.
