Our Club held its very first AKC sanctioned event - a Hunt Test at Little River Farm in Quincy. The weekend was a great success, with many entries receiving qualifying scores and a few finishing titles. We are grateful to all our hard-working judges, and we'd like to thank them: Jean Matmor (and her three horses, thank you Jean), Lisa Durham, and our own Jim Eustace and Todd Knouff. Without your combined knowledge and experience, we wouldn't make the kind of progress in training our dogs that we'd all like to see. Thank you for your time and generosity.
We'd also like to thank all the club members who made the weekend so much fun...providing food, keeping records, planting birds, setting up and decorating, filling water buckets, mowing, and all the little details that make these tests possible. Thanks also to those who entered their dogs and spent time with us this weekend! We even had two junior handlers running dogs, and we hope we're seeing the future of our sport!
It was a beautiful weekend -- the weather cooperated! We held a club meeting on Saturday night while we enjoyed Vern and Betsy Phillip's terrific "Oktoberfest" dinner. Look back here for meeting minutes. I'll also post them on Yahoo (when I get them done!) We welcomed two new members this weekend, Jimmy Daniels and Duke McRaa.
