2009 Field Trial Report

We apologize for the belated post but we wanted to thank everyone for their help at the field trial. Everything ran very smoothly and even though there were issues we were able to handle it all because of the quality of help that we had.

Thanks for Marc Comtois for marshalling Open on Saturday and qual on Sunday; Arlene Comtois for marshalling Open on both days. Bruce Kelly & Pete Wyckoff for marshalling Open. Barry Nelson and Skip Snow for marshalling Amateur both days. Will Freeman and Chris Plouffe for marshalling Qualifying. Thanks to Jill Chalmers for running the puppy stake for us and for Barb Kroetsch for making lunches and helping with the judge's dinner and to Jerry Kroetsch for stepping in where ever he was needed.

We also want to thank the members who helped clean up the grounds for the trial, it made a big difference to the quality of tests we can put on. Chris spent 3 hours cutting the handicap and sawmill fields so the judge's could challenge the dogs. Marc & Chris also spent countless hours trimming around our water areas and roadways to clean them up. Thanks to Skip, Bruce and Brian O'Donnell for also stepping and helping. Also thanks to Marc for making our club float boards.

Our next event is our first picnic trial on November 1, 2009 when we will be having our AGM. We would love to see you all come out and participate and get involved in your club.


Congratulations to Tom Robbins & Blue for Placing 4th and to Marc & Gunner and Terry Goad & Lucy for their CM in Qualifying!

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)
