Did you know our training fields are home to longleaf pines still bearing the “catface” scars from the old turpentine industry? These markings tell the story of a once-thriving naval era, when resin was vital for shipbuilding and Southern commerce.

These resilient giants are a special part of the SPBC heritage that makes our club grounds so unique. Next time you’re training your bird dogs, take a moment to appreciate the living history around you.

Our recent Living With Your Bird Dog Workshop reminded us all that great field work starts at home. Leash walking without pulling, standing still on command, waiting for the release, coming when called, and impulse control — these are the foundations that make everything else (including bird work) smoother and more enjoyable. We spent the morning with Gretchen Chapman Stephenson turning chaos into calm and giving handlers practical skills they can practice in the yard, on walks, and in training sessions. Shoutout to all the dedicated handlers and their awesome dogs who joined us!

Big congrats to Scandal & Cindi Saylor! 🎉 When she’s not volunteering to organize our hunt tests and club events, Cindi and her Vizsla, Scandal, are out racking up the ribbons! In March, they earned the 1st Place 🥇 4-Point Major Walking Open Gun Dog at Wilderness Pointer Club of Virginia. SPBC is proud of your efforts and so grateful for all that Cindi does for our club.

REMINDER: On 09 May 2026, Gretchen Stephenson of Canine Manners and More is leading a seminar on Living with Your Bird Dog.

If you live with a high-energy bird dog, you already know the everyday stuff matters. How your dog behaves on leash, whether they can stand still when asked, whether they wait until released, and whether they respond when you call, those same things show up again when birds are involved. Gretchen Stephenson will spend the morning working on practical skills you can use at home and in training.

Dear fellow members, Our club is at a key moment where your input shapes our future. We’ve sent a survey to active members, and asking you to please take a few minutes to complete it. This poll is critical. Your responses will guide:
-Our strategic direction for the next 1–10 years
-Where we need to improve our program and services
-How we prioritize and allocate limited time and funds
Your response matters. With tight budgets, we can only focus on what our members value most — and the best way to know that is by hearing directly from you.
Please check your email (and spam/junk folder) for the link from SPBC.
Thank you in advance for your time and for helping strengthen our club.
With appreciation,
SPBC
