Dale and Linda acquired their first German Shorthaired Pointer as a Christmas present and personal hunting dog in December of 1994. Dale trained Linda’s Pretty Heidi behind subdivisions in Hermitage, Tennessee. She was such a good bird dog that after her second season, they decided she was worthy of producing off-spring. While searching for a suitable mate, they met Brenda Roe and Snip’s Ticked Off (Rip). The results of the breeding were outstanding and produced both field and show champions.
They entered the competitive arena with one of those off-spring, Heidi’s Olympiad Greta, in 1997. Greta retired due to health issues as a 3XNSTRA Champion with 69 points. In 2002 Linda began entering NSTRA field trials with another dog from that same litter and finished in first place at her first trial. She competed at the local, regional, and national levels with her dog Heidi’s Here-N-There (Droopy). Droopy retired from competition with 17 points.
In 2005, Dale retired from his remodeling business and Linda retired from teaching. They moved to Wheeler, Texas and established Dalin Kennels for breeding, training, and boarding bird dogs. They also provided accommodations and guide services for quail, turkey, deer, and wild hog hunts.
In 2013 Dale and Linda moved their kennel to Shannon, Mississippi in order to be closer to family. Dalin Kennels continues to provide training and boarding. Dale and Linda continued to trial their dogs in both Texas and Oklahoma regions. Dalin's Moby earned his NSTRA Championship in 2007 with 27 points. Dalin's Texas Ranger was the Oklahoma Region 3rd runner up in 2009. Snip's Spice Girl and Dalin's Texas Slowpoke also made impressive showings in NSTRA field competition.
