Bird Dog Field Trial
Monument
...
in the
Heart of Union Springs
On February 21, 1996, the 75th anniversary of the annual National Amateur Free-for-All Shooting Dog Championship, a life-size, bronze statue of an English Pointer, was unveiled in Union Springs, Alabama.
It pays tribute to Bullock County's unexcelled upland game country, bird dogs, and the men and women who participate in the sport of field trialing.
Located at the intersection of Prairie Street and Hardaway Avenue, the statue is situated atop an 8-foot-tall granite pillar. The names of eleven Bullock County residents who have been inducted into the Field Trial Hall of Fame are engraved on the south side of the monument. Donors, including some memorials by family members, are engraved on the north side of the monument.
Field Trials in Bullock County begin in early November and continue through March on some of the best plantations in the nation.
