Great weekend at the Central KY Retriever Club hunt test. Silas ran 3 clean series for his 2nd Master pass. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks to the club members, volunteers, bird boys, and judges. Congrats to all that passed.

Earlier this week I had someone complain that I posted lab pictures on my Chesapeake page. While I think that is ridiculous, I did decide to do a separate that will have all my dogs and I will dedicate this page to chessies only. If you would like to see all my dogs, please go give Barren River Retrievers a like.

Remember this when training your dogs. Always train at their pace and not what you want.

Everyone always speculates in discussions about how long or how old a dog should be to certsin levels depending on the dog. So I asked UKC for the information and thought I would share. I was surprised by some more than others. Looking at the AKC info on Retriever Results web page shows I believe most of the corresponding levels to a little later age on average.

Fantastic day at the Middle TN Amateur Retriever Club hunt test! Silas picks up his first Master pass. Huge thanks goes out to the club, members, judges, and bird boys who overcame the test grounds getting flooded the night before the test.
