Caledonia Hunting and Angling Assoc.

Tonight we spent a little time with the kids from the Caledonia Hunting & Angling Association showing them the world of working retrievers and how they are used in helping the hunter retrieve game. We took them thru the beginning with obedience, then to drills and then marks and blinds. The kids got a kick out of hiding bumpers and watching the dogs being handled to find them. Then they asked questions and got to get close to the dogs petting them and throwing the bumpers for them. We think the dogs had as much fun as the kids :0)

July 9th WC Test

The last of our WC tests for the year was held last week and went without a hitch other than a few bee stings and some entertainment from a couple of kaykers :0) We also finally had some good weather.

Thanks again to Jill Richardson for chairing the events and to Jeanne Barrett for doing the Secretary work. Margo Neilson put on a nice dinner and Chris Plouffe, Chris Bayles and Marc Comtois did all the gunning. Thanks to our judges, Pat Van Bregt, Pete Wyckoff, Shelly Blom and Jerry Kroetsch.
