Thought some of you folks may be interested in the WRC picnic trial. It is a fun day. If you are interested in competing with your dog and have never seen a trial or a hunt test this is a great place to come out, meet some folks and ask questions. It is a very laid back atmosphere and all the folks are willing to answer any questions.
If you have the best hunting dog around and are willing to put your money where your mouth is, bragging rights and a trophy can be yours for the taking....Happy....
The Washington Retriever Club is planning two picnic trials coming up very soon. The dates and locations are as follows:
Feb 21/22 - Cherry Valley Wildlife Recreation Area (outside of DuVall) March 7/8 - Greenleaf's (Monroe)
We are still hoping to get our permit for Ft Lewis renewed, but the request is hung up somewhere along the way and no amount of calling and coaxing appears to help get things moving.
For those people that paid their membership last year, we will not be requiring them to pay this year.
Please spread the word to your friends. We will be putting on the same stakes as in the past:
Saturday:
Puppies/Jr Hunter - (Puppies under 1 year; no age requirement for Jr Hunter) Tests will be single marks, same test for both stakes. Puppies will only be judged against other puppies and likewise for Jr Hunter dogs.
Qual/Master Hunter - Marks will be doubles and/or triples and blinds will be run. Qual dogs will be judged against each other and same for Master Hunter dogs.
Sunday:
Derby/Sr Hunter - (Derby dogs under 2 yrs old; no age requirement for Sr Hunter) Marks will be singles and/or doubles. No blinds will be run.
Open - No separation between field trial and hunt test dogs. All entries will compete against each other.
More information will be sent when details get confirmed.
Hope to see all of you soon.
