Wild Rose Hunting Retriever Club

There was a better than expected turnout for the Licensed NAHRA Field Test put on by the Wild Rose Hunting Retriever Club the weekend of July 11th & 12th.

The test was held just outside of Irricana and drew several owners and handlers from all over. In fact it was so successful that the club as able to realize a cool profit of $1100.
When asked what the club was going to do with all that cash, club president Doug Rowden, hinted at various possible club improvements but did not go into detail.
A big WRHRC thank you goes out to the Hunt Test Committee headed up by Howie Boyda and the committee members:
Shaun Brien, Darcy Brunes, Nancy Holland, Lisa Williams, Ron Adlington & Doug Rowden
A huge round of applause for the judges, marshals, gunners and all who pitched in to make this years test such a success.
