Wild Rose Hunting Retriever Club

The 2010 WRHRC NAHRA Hunt test was a great success. We had a wonderful turn out with quite a large number of dogs in all stakes. The weather was reasonably co-operative and some welcome cloud cover kept the heat to an acceptable level. We were very fortunate to have several highly qualified judges come and show us how to put on a challenging hunt test.

Despite some rain late Saturday afternoon, the tail gate dinner was very well done and as always we cannot thank these volunteers enough for their efforts. There are a few times in life when a barbecued hamburger is the best thing you have ever tasted and that usually is right after a hard day’s field work. So, many thanks to them for all the effort.

This weekend saw several dogs get their master hunting retriever title. And as a special highlight we had entries in the started stakes from three new club members, who had started off this spiring in Carl’s basic retriever training classes. I am pleased to say that all three dogs entered went home with ribbons, some with more than one. I’m sure it is a very special feeling of accomplishment and pride for these new trainers and they deserve some well earned congratulations.
