Welcome to the Heart of the...

English Springer Spaniel
2025 National Amateur Championship

This isn’t just another trial.
It’s the one we wait for… train toward… dream about.

The English Springer Spaniel Amateur Championship holds more than ribbons or titles.
It carries the weight of tradition… the echo of whistles across the field… the quiet pride of a dog who gives you everything, just for the chance to hunt at your side.

This space is for you—the handlers who’ve walked the miles, the families who’ve stood in the wind, the dogs whose eyes never left your own.

Here you’ll find:
• Daily updates, photos, and results
• Schedule info and local support
• A place to share memories, moments, and the magic only this community understands

Whether this is your first championship or your fifteenth… welcome.

We’re honored to walk this stretch of ground with you.

Let the stories begin. 🐾

*****Andy Cullen Seminar****

After communicating with the Cullen’s yesterday and this morning the decision to cancel the Michigan seminar has been made.
I have contacted Hunt Secretary and asked them to close access to the seminar sign up.

***Andy Cullen Seminar*****

Just a reminder, we are a little more than 2 weeks out from the closing date. I know it is everyone’s habit to wait till the last minute when using Hunt Secretary, but in this case I would ask you, if you are interested in attending to please sign up early.
There is considerable interest in having a seminar out east and we are attempting to coordinate travel for both. It would make us all feel a little better if we knew the seminar here in MI was going to be able to share in the expense.
Thank you all for your consideration. I hope to see you in mid June for this exciting endeavor.
Mike.
