Well folks it’s been awhile since the last newsletter but that’s not to say that the club hasn’t been busy over the past months. We’ve had a busy and exciting summer with our Bass Pro Shops demonstration, hosting the judges/handler’s seminar, conducting the Big D youth seminar and the monthly Big D training days.
As we move into fall and toward our upcoming 20th Anniversary Big D UKC/HRC hunt test things only promise to get more exciting! For this special event we have asked some distinguished HRC members to come, participate and judge. Two judges are coming out of retirement for this special occasion and Omar Driskill, one of the founders of the Hunting Retriever Club (HRC) will be attending the Saturday night tailgate event to answer questions and share his stories. Bill Watson will be also there sharing his “White Boots” tales and joining in the fun. We will also be holding a very special Youth Hunt and a Puppy Test. It’s going to be a great time!
We have been very busy preparing for the hunt test and the amount of work that goes into an event like this is incredible. Big D members have really stepped up to the challenge and more volunteers are always welcome. If you would like to help please don’t hesitate! Also as most of you know the test this year is being held in a new location, the May Sel Ranch in Fairfield Tx. We are really excited about the new location; these are beautiful grounds with all weather roads, great water and loads of opportunities to set up great tests.
The 20th Anniversary Big D UKC/HRC Hunt Test is on October 20th and 21st. Everyone is urged to come out and join the fun!
