The last weekend in February was dedicated to recertifying field trial and hunt test judges. Also new judges were there fulfilling their seminar requirement. Gary Sadler, executive field rep, from the AKC facilitated the seminar. He was a wealth of knowledge and humor.

Thank you to Cheryl Grega our idea person extraordinaire. Kathy Black for K.P. and assisting Cheryl. Mary D and Jackie for K.P. as well as set up. Barb Meining for set up and photography. Mary Grill for fund raising and set up. Pat Franklin for K.P. Carol Lyberger and Jodi for your donations to the hospitality. 

NODROG’s teamwork and hospitality was noticed by all who attended.

Many different breeds were represented. Networking was done to assist us in securing judges for future events. New friends were made. Overall it was a Success with a capital S!!!!!!

P.S. Thank you to everyone for putting up with Gavin. I am thrilled to report that Dr Barb’s magic prevails once again. Gavin is doing great and I am sure he will be around to terrorize the next event!

Hope to see all of you at the hunt test.
