Members Prepare for MHSC Hunt Test

Roy, steady to flush and shot.  Good job Glen!
We have been preparing for the Hunt Test in Springfield, MO.  Those attending from our club are John Forbs with Abby and Broddie.  Glen with Roy. Myself, Danelle, with Sunny and Acey. 

John and his wife Merne are still recovering from Streptococcus pneumonia. Their daughter plans to drive them to the HT and I will run his dogs.  John, at age 86, has been a big part of our training club.  And is determined to achieve his goal of getting a Hunt Test title on one of his dogs.  I am impressed with his resolve and hope this resolve will help him get out of the hospital and back in the field where he truly loves to be.

We wish them both the best for a speedy and thorough recovery, and look forward to seeing them again.

I imagin we will all be sporting a ribbon or two at the conclusion of the Hunt Test.  The dogs are looking good!
Roy with the Retrieve.  Glen: Owner/handler
