 ABOUT THE EPISODE
OPEN: Conversation about Writer/ Field Trial Reporter/ and Field Trialer John Crisswell.  I was reading the book he wrote on Leon Convington entitled, “COV” at the time with great interest in learning about the Rebel strain of Pointers and Leon Covington’s impact on the American Field and bird dog development. In this episode we discuss: getting a random call from John Crisswell; the origins of the Rebel line of Pointer; traits of Rebel dogs;  The conversation ENDS with the introduction of Mike Hester I see these episodes as an evolving series detailing the origins of my learning from Mike Heste
