Member Accomplishments
A club is only as strong as its members. Bushkill is fortunate to have a small group of very devoted members that contribute their time, knowledge, and friendship to those interested in training their pointing dogs. Accomplishments of our members are a direct result of their time, effort, and the sometimes endless energy they have put into the success of their dogs.
