We had a fun trip to the Spring HRC International Grand in Omaha, GA. We passed 5 dogs and unfortunately lost a few along the way to day 5. I would like to thank everyone that helped make it possible and the clients for trusting us with their dogs!

Picking up passes:

GRHRCH(8) Beau MH MNR QA2-The points from the Grand put him over 1000 points making him one of the newest in the Hall Of Fame!! Owner Kenny Jenkins

GRHRCH(3) UHCH Rider MH MNR-Owner Sarah Willett

GRHRCH(3) Storm MH MNR-Owner Joe Sloan

HRCH Sky ran her first grand and had an awesome week. Owner Colton Madden

Last but not least is a very special one and this will be his last as he retires from the Grand! Oh how I owe so much to this dog for all he has done for me and taught me over the years. Bill is truly a special animal!! This pass marks his 10th time passing the most difficult hunt test there is!

GRHRCH (10) UHCH Bill MH MNH QAA HOF

Once again a huge thank you to all the folks that have helped us to get where we are today. Your support is very much appreciated and MWR wouldn’t exist without you!

Safe travels to everyone on their way to the Grand! If you see anything about us having apparel available it is NOT us, so please report it. Look for more test updates soon and apparel info directly from us.
We don’t know who Dexter W is trying to advertise MWR apparel.

Happy International Dog Day!! We are blessed that everyday is dog day around here and that so many trust us with their pet/athlete as well.

We made a trip to Sooner AKC and then on up to Flint Oak to run three Master tests in May. The crew went 21 out of 24 for the trip which helped to get a couple more qualified and several more are really close. Big thanks to the clubs and judges for putting on great tests with great hospitality!

We’re way behind on posts so we are going to play catch up over the next week and start with the Grand! Stay tuned…

We had a great time at the HRC International Grand in Georgia. Unfortunately, we didn’t pass as many as we had hoped to! I had a couple go out day one that we sure didn’t see coming and then we carried the remaining 6 in to day three where a few had some problems. On day four one of the three left came unwound unfortunately and that left two going to the 5th. I have a lot of folks to say thank you to for stepping in on day 5 to help! That morning I noticed Bill was in severe pain and couldn’t p*e. Luckily there are great folks at the Grand and I met The Duck Dog Doctor, PLLC at the test site for him to see what was going on. He checked Bill before we went off to Auburn University for X-ray, ultrasound and labs. They examined him, got him out of pain, and where he could travel home.
I left my trailer with the other dogs at the test site so they weren’t having to travel extra. A big thanks to Jim for watching them and even stepping up to run Maggie for her first Grand pass. I can’t say thanks enough and how much that means not to have to worry about missing a run while I was worried enough for Bill. Thanks to the Grand committee and Tracy for allowing Bill the chance to be able to try and run the upland when I got back that afternoon to get the rest of the dogs. I really didn’t think Bill would be able to do it but it sure was amazing to watch him give what little energy he had to complete it and get pass number 9. After that I headed straight home getting him to our vet and figuring out that the cause was a bladder infection. Luckily with some antibiotics and rest he was back to his self again in a few days. Once again I can’t say thank you enough to everyone that has called and sent messages to check on him and offered to help out.

Happy New Year! We were blessed in 2022 and look forward to all to come in 2023. It’s been great seeing and hearing how the MWR crew has done this hunting season. We’ll be back on the road for hunt tests soon, but we will cherish the hunts for now and look forward to getting our hunt test crew back soon. Thanks to everyone that has supported us whether it’s by trusting us to train and care for your best friend or by simply sending others our way!

We have been busy since getting back from the Grand and have fallen behind on our posts. The weekend after the Grand we ran at the Red River Shootout SRS and had a great weekend finishing 4th with Beau and 6th with Bill. Boo ended up a little short of making the top 12, but sure tried his best. After that we headed to Oklahoma for a couple of master tests where the crew went 13 of 15. Then we ran our home clubs HRC test this weekend and broke a bunch of young dogs out to have their first go around and ended up going 16 of 17. We would like to say a huge thank you to the Hall family, Tulsa RC, and Four States RC for hosting great events. Also, thank you to all the workers and judges that make these events possible.

The Spring Grand has come and gone and we were lucky enough to pass 3 dogs. We had 5 dogs make it to the 5th, but unfortunately had a couple that couldn’t hold it together during upland. I’m very proud of the 3 dogs that did pass. Chip owned by Corey Tuminello and Mugz owned by Chris Smith picked up their first pass. Roux owned by Wade and Cathy Scroggins picked up her second pass and Grand title. Thank you to all the workers, judges, and any body that helped make the Grand happen!

04/25/2022

Tomorrow is the big day. We will start out the HRC International Grand in Natchez, MS with RRT water in the morning. We will have 12 running which are Rider, Bill, Boo, Becky, Cash, Chip, Juice, Mugz, Roux, Ella, Beau, and Thunder. Good luck to everyone this week!

We’ve been busy running tests and getting ready for the Grand. Gracie loves helping with the dogs and evenings like these are tough to beat.

MWR had a great weekend at Felsenthal HRC hunt test. Thank you to the judges, marshals, and bird techs for your time. We went 14/14 in finished and 2/2 in started with the owner handling today. We are extremely proud of the dogs coming back in the kennels after hunting season.

We had a few dogs that needed one pass to earn their titles before we ran out of HRC tests this fall, so we ran Northeast Texas HRC and knocked them out. Thanks to the club and workers for a great weekend! Congrats to our clients on picking up HR titles on June, JJ, Bubba, & Cole and an HRCH on Dixie. Now it’s time to run test dog for the SRS Crown Championship tomorrow morning! Good luck to all that are running!

We had a great fall trip to the Grand and Master Nationals! Our crew went 50% with 5 passes at the Grand and 60% at Nationals with 6 passes. I would like to thank all of the clients for trusting us with their dogs because none of this would be possible without you! Also, a big thanks to everyone that helped put the events on and to the great pre-training groups we had!
