“Brook”, SR Bertschire’s Avalanche WC CGC, owned by John and Sandy Bulger, handled by John, earned the title NAHRA Started Retriever.

CH SR Lyric’s Kay CD JH WCX CGC TDI, “Katie”,  and Al Jenkins helped maintain a perfect pass rate for flat-coated retrievers in this test.  Katie was one of three flat-coats running that day, and all passed.  This is Katie’s second leg toward her WR title with NAHRA.  A deceptive water double separated the qualifiers from the rest of the pack, but flat-coats, having their own way of doing the marks, had little trouble.

“Piper”, Blazin’s Enchanted Forest, won Best Puppy In Match under club member Judy Delventhal!  Later in the day Piper along with “Prue”, Blazin’s Eternal Flame, won Best Litter In Match!!!  These puppies were handled by their proud Breeders and Owners, Dawn Buttion & Marty Archambeault.

CH SR Lyric’s Kay CD JH WCX CGC TDI, “Katie”, with owner/trainer/handler Al Jenkins achieved their first mid-level hunting test leg!  The test was a Working Retriever test (land double, water double, water blind, quarter, trail).  While they did struggle through the water blind, a qualifying score was earned.  Two weeks prior they earned their Started Brass Band award from NAHRA by completing four Started level tests in one calendar year.  They also qualified for the NAHRA regional invitational for 2001.

“Piper”, Blazin’s Enchanted Forest, won Best In Match under Betsy Horn Humer!!!  We are very proud of Piper and will put her picture in the nice brass frame that she won.  This match did not separate puppies and adults so Piper had to act like a big dog! 🙂
