Sincere thanks to everyone who spent their time and money to attend this clinic and to the Platte Valley Hunting Retriever Club (especially Mike Schwan & Jim McLaughlin) for organizing the event! Thanks Jeremy Lowry for organizing the event bird techs!
We had approximately 45 attendees including 16 dog/handler teams representing transitions - advanced skill levels with goals of achieving hunt test and/or field trial titles.
It was a long day filled with great dogs and productive discussion topics. Hopefully it was helpful for those who attended as observers as well.
Feel free to post any questions or event photos in the comments section. Thanks again!
