Our May 16th and 17th hunt test is coming together. Judges have been submitted to HRC and approved, Ducks ordered, Test Grounds reserved, Bird Tech’s lined up, Social dinner getting planned, and decided on a Fried Chicken lunch for Set-up day. So come on out on Friday, May 15th, have lunch and help set-up. David Westall is PVHRC Hunt Marshal for the May hunt test and he will be asking for volunteers for Started, Seasoned, and Finished Marshals so please sign up, it is a great way to meet new people. PVHRC May 16th and 17th hunt test is on Hunt Secretary so please sign up. For all the new members that want to sign up, here is the site https://huntsecretary.com/ and if you need any help give me a call. Also, get your dog registered with UKC (United Kennel Club) http://www.ukcdogs.com/ Web.nsf/WebPages/Home. This is pretty easy. You just transfer the information off your dogs AKC papers, and again, if you need any help give me a call. 03/07-08 WCHRC 2 Day Seminar Years ago, club member Rich Carpenter loaned out his training table and over a 15 year period it has seen some good use but, like many things, parts needed to be replaced. Mike Brockman, long time member, took it upon himself and designed and 03/11 Sporting Dog Field 1st Aid built a new training table with new features. It is made of two separate tables 6-8 pm Classes [Free] (2'x8'x6"), each capable of standing alone but ready to be bolted end to end. The painted surface has an additive that gives the surface a non-slip texture. The legs 03/14 Started Class-Session 1 can be folded up into the underside of the table for storage and transport. They are 03/14 Training Day fairly heavy, but can be carried and erected by one person. For being portable, it is fairly stable. Mike’s dog, Mojo, jumps up onto it without him being around and he 03/21 Started Class-Session 2 sleeps on it. Rich Carpenter donated all the retrieving aids and is very much like 03/21 Training Day those discussed in the TriTronics "Trained Retrieve" training tapes. There are So Colo Reg Hunt-Premium removable vertical pipes with aircraft cable stretched between for guiding the dog. 03/28-29 Finished Flight Added! PVHRC strongly suggest that the users of the table keep it out of the weather so it will last. It's available on a first come, first use basis. PVHRC gave Mike $200.00 for 04/08 Started Class-Session 3 supplies and the total cost was $250.00. Mike donated $50.00 and his time to make a nice training table, Thank you Mike. (See Photo next page) Roadrunner Reg Hunt 04/11-12 Premium For the May Hunt Test we have the opportunity to donate 4 Youth Started entries Panhandle Reg Hunt thanks to judges Russ Harris and Tracy Todd. When asked to judge, they wanted to 04/18-19 Premium—Iliff, CO judge both days. As part of paying the judges, PVHRC gives each judges one free entry.

Platte Valley Hunting Retriever Club Newsletter Page 5 New Member & Started Dog Classes Dates have been set for this year’s Started Dog Training Classes. The purpose of the classes is to help inexperienced handlers and their dogs with their training. The classes also give new members a chance to get involved with the club and meet other members. Each session will be approximately two hours long and will consist of a tailgate discussion followed by field work. Everyone should plan to bring their dogs. Since we’ll be spending some time talking it is good if everyone has a crate or other way to put their dogs up until it is their turn in the field. Everyone should also bring plenty of water for their dogs, sunscreen, bug dope and appropriate clothes for our typical Colorado spring-time weather (jacket, rain coat . . . . snow boots?) All dogs are welcome. Whether you have a young pup or an older inexperienced dog, we will adjust field work as needed to fit the needs of those who attend. The weekend classes will be held at the same location as the club training days so check the calendar on the website for location. Weeknight classes will be held at Mary’s. The classes are free to PVHRC members. Also, if anyone knows someone who is not a member but who has a hunting retriever be sure to spread the word and invite them along.
