Bill's New Training Camp in the White Mountains of Arizona
(see more; page 2, 3 and 4)


After months of searching the White Mountains of Arizona for suitable training grounds, Bill finally found a location that both he and the National Forest personal agreed upon. These images where taken by Tamra Gibbons just before all the equipment were put in place.

It's amazing what is involved in setting up a dog camp in the White Mountains. There are sleeping trailers, horses trailers, water, electric generators, electric fence for the horses, Johnny Houses and birds, food for all the animals and people. Bill also had a special dog trailer made and that needed to be haul up the mountain as well.


This image is just left of the image above. A nice location for the trailers just left of the Aspen trees. The location is about 9000 ft above sea level. Acclimation to the elevation change is necessary for health related issues.

Bill's two horses are used for dog training. These horses are indispensable for training field trial dogs. They need care as much as dogs. An electric fence is used as a corral.

For more information on Bill Gibbons and his training techniques, please read the American Field article, The Magic Man and for his contribution to the Vizsla breed, National Vizsla Association.
