Storm SH
November 7, 2021 / Diane OrthStorm and I took a break from obedience and dove into field this year. After a rough start, failing in our first test, October 16th, Storm did a wonderful job. She finished her SH title November 7th, in a total of 5 tests. Training for senior was a big learning curve for me, but with the help of our CRFCRC friends we did it! I am very proud of this girl, she earned her UDX, OM2 and Senior this year!

October 31, 2021 / Dana and Brendan FoleyTimberblacs North Star JH WC CGC, Stella, became a Junior Hunter at the Susquehana Retriever Club’s Hunt Test. This girl gave me a run for my money (and a couple of donations to other clubs!) before we finally got it together on water and passed her 4th JH leg. A great team effort from my training friends to get us through some bumps in the road. Watching Stella’s progression made it all worthwhile!
