Let me humbly introduce to you NSTRA's Newest Open Champion "LUNA RILEY"

This is going to be a long post so feel free to skip but I hope there can be some inspiration, fond memories, and some insight for others.

The story starts with a coin flip that has literally changed the course of Lindsey Riley and my life when we got our first bird dog.

Luna was Purchased by Lindsey and Cliff Riley 7 years ago from Wrangler Kennels in Las Cruces, NM. We were visiting my brother Ben Riley stationed in El Paso, TX. We couldn't decide if we wanted another dog (already had two) so we flipped a coin. Tails wins every time. So we flew home with a puppy between our feet. Luna is a GSP German Shorthaired Pointer. The things we learned and never knew we needed to know about dogs, volumes could be written.

Luna was our official first bird dog. We sent her back to Markus to get trained up. While Luna was away Cliff got a job offer and we ended up moving to Indiana. Cliff picked her up the week before he started the new gig. Not knowing a soul in Indiana Cliff emailed Jim Thomas the President of Indiana NSTRA. After a short introduction Jim and Cliff became fast friends and we started Field Trialing (Lindsey came to cheer Cliff and Luna on, but is beginning to Trial herself now!). Cliff was hooked almost immediately. In that first year I was disqualified more times than he could count.

Now I don't know if all dog breeds are so forgiving or just a GSP or just Luna. Cliff was so green it hurts to remember, but we have tried training every single way under the sun with this dog. Cliff watched youtube videos for days trying to figure this dog training out. It wasn't until we met Jordan J. Wells Kennels, LLC and Sonny Piekarz Hay Creek Kennel, LLC that things finally started clicking. Jordan and Sonny introduced me to what they have since dubbed The Method. The Method Dog Training simplified and streamlined the process of train dogs of any breed.

Luna is still far from perfect but that is far more my fault than hers. With the help of Friends Mentors and a tight knit group of Dog Men, I have grown as a person, and a man.

This Journey has led Lindsey and I on a course that has put us on a path so divergent from our previous course it is hardly recognizable. Since getting involved with bird dogs we have bought a farm, built a house, and built a barn large enough to open a Boarding Training and Bird Dog camp this coming year. Riley Kennel and Farm.

We know this post will not resonate with all, but it doesn't have too. BUT our advice is too Flip the Coin, Buy the Dog, Learn the Skill, Try the Thing. Let it take you down the Path. Let the experience and joy steer the course!!!

Luna, you are THE dog.

Cue Tears, Thanks Girl 🥲(I'm not crying you are!!)
