Landowner Ken Neil explains the name "Whoa Nellie Farm"

Tina said, “Why do you call this the ‘Whoa Nellie Farm’ ?”

"We bought our first field trial dog in 1999. We named her ‘Good Idea’s Whoa Nellie’, call name Nellie’. This wonderful 49 day old puppy became NAFC-FC-AFC Good Idea’s Whoa Nellie. She started it all for us in this sport. It is in her honor that we named our training grounds and winter home Whoa Nellie Farm. We miss her every day and know she would have loved to have tried to do the tests that you're all running here this week. ’Nellie’ says good luck to all, be safe and have fun! ;-)”
