text-deep-green/90" data-astro-cid-dyxsxm7a> <p> 14The upland tradition in the American South was carried, in great part, by Black dog men and 15 horsemen â the handlers who started the puppies, kept the kennels, scouted the field trials, 16 and held the knowledge that made champions. Their names are written smaller than they should 17 be, when they are written at all. 18</p> <p> 19I was brought into the bird dog world by men who carried that tradition forward â mentors 20 like Neal Carter Jr. and Curtis Brooks Sr. This chapter is my working attempt to write the 21 record down: the handlers, the kennels, the plantations and the trials, and the living line 22 that runs from them to a first-generation hunter like me. 23</p> <blockquote class="border-l-2 border-gold pl-5 font-display text-xl italic leading-snug"> 24âThe door was never locked.
