Back in 2020, Wyatt was an energetic teenager about to start his freshman year of high school. He loved the outdoors and especially fishing. But all that changed one night when he went to bed with an ear ache. The next morning, his Mom found him in bed, incoherent and in pain. In less than 36 hrs, meningitis had stolen his freedom. But not his mind or his love of fishing! Fast forward a few years. The Lost Pines Retriever Club was founded and the members wanted to do something more than just host hunt tests- they wanted to find a way to help someone in need. That’s where Chad Waligura, an avid outdoorsmen and paraplegic, comes into the picture. He is the founder of Able Outdoors, an organization that can connect those physically impaired with hunting and fishing opportunities in the great outdoors. He mentioned Wyatt’s situation to Kristin Best and she knew that the Lost Pines Retriever Club could help him! At the Club’s Christmas Party, in lieu of gifts, members were encouraged to donate towards Wyatt’s cause. Rody Best reached out to Wyatt’s family and was put in touch with his nurse, Becky. Wyatt was informed of the plan to help getting him back to fishing and he was super excited! Together, with his nurse, Wyatt sent Rody a list of what he would need. Next, Rody reached out to Dr Roland Kehr, the founder of MPOWR Fishing LLC and co-creator of the MPOWR battery powered fishing reel. Dr Kehr knew immediately he could help too! So LPRC purchased the reel and Dr Kehr enthusiastically agreed to chip in by donating the accessory which would allow Wyatt to use his mouth to activate the reel. Best Retrievers purchased the rod and holder and some fishing tackle and the plan was complete! On Saturday, October 26th, Rody and Kristin went to Wyatt’s house and delivered the package. Wyatt was all smiles when they arrived and couldn’t wait to start using it. Now he can go out onto the back deck of his house and enjoy fishing and the outdoors again! Thank you members of the Lost Pines Retriever Club, Chad Waligura with Able Outdoors, and Best Retrievers.

Outstanding job LPRC! It's been a busy Spring for the club and we finished it strong with a weekend AKC Hunt Test. The weather was great and club members all chipped in big to pull it off.

Judges- Thank you for coming out and spending your weekend with us:

Friday Qual- Randy Crable and Mike Farris
Saturday Master- Rex Gibson and Wendy Mattinen
Saturday Junior- Kelly Curry and Yolanda Buchman
Sunday Senior- Kelly Curry and Mike Farris
Sunday Junior- Jim Lane and Terry Ansohn

To all the participants- we hoped you enjoyed the event and will come out and be a part of our next one! Thanks for attending!

To the Hunt Test Committee- Wonderful job executing!
Rob Somers- Chairman. (Don't let him fool you- he is very good at this and kept everything running smoothly!)
Secretary- Paige Brown- Thanks Paige for volunteering! She had her hands full this weekend and we appreciate her time to the club.
Dakota Best- Head Marshal- Great job juggling being both a Handler and the Head Marshal.

To the Club Members- GREAT job. Everyone did their part and it came together beautifully. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Yolanda Buchman (Junior Judge and helped on Sunday), Sid Junek (Senior Marshal and a huge all around help in general), Jim Lane (both a Junior judge and helped with Master on Saturday), Brad Beaulieu (Owner of Saltgrass Retrievers LLC and helped with preparation each morning), Vince Carr (flier Shooter), Mike Farris (flier shooter), Jeff Brown (Owner of DawgOnIt Retrievers), Kristin Best and Cynthia Blomquist for the delicious lunches each day and helping prepare snack bags, Doug Dillow for helping with Master Clipboard, Kerrigan Odom (Trainer at Best Retrievers and also lended a hand with set-ups, test dog, all around everything!), and Molly Quirk and Reed Boyd (Junior Marshals).

Plus Dawson Dean, Craig John, and Sean Wilchek for shooting fliers. Sean was also a huge help with set-up and break down each day. Anne Milane on Master Clipboard- she ended up scratching her dog in Master but still came out to help- that says a lot right there!

If I missed anyone, we apologize- there were many working parts that all came together like pieces of a puzzle and the end result was a great picture.

Lost Pines Retriever Club, while a relatively new club, puts on more hunt tests (and an SRS) than another club in the State of Texas. So come out and join us!

If you passed and/or titled and got pics- post them in the comments below, we'd love to see them!

Great Job LPRC! Our first 100 dog Mid-week Master is in the books. The weather was fabulous! A huge thank you to everyone who pitched in, but a special thanks to Secretary Bob Delperdang, Judges Carol Hynes and Kevin Buchman, Clipboard- Anne Millane, our Bird Techs, our lunch crew- Cynthia Blomquist and Kristin Best, Head Marshal Britt Jones, Bird Steward Sid Junek, and the Pros that are always willing and able to help- Tom Garza and Emily Head, JC Strange, Brad Beaulieu, Jeff Brown, and Dakota Best. Test dogs were Vince Carr with “Squid” and Rob Somers with “Kaizen”. Shooters- Vince Carr and Jeff Parker- thank you! When everyone lends a hand, it makes things run so smooth. See y’all next month for the next LPRC Mid-Week Master.

Everybody knows that good birds in a test make a big difference. Bird steward Kevin Buchman took great care of the birds both days to ensure that all handlers got the best birds we could offer!

Scammer alert! Please disregard any post you see regarding LPRC hoodies being available. Someone (not LPRC) is posting replies to LPRC posts. They have been blocked but may continue….ignore them! This is a total scam.

The Lost Pines Spring AKC Hunt Test was a big success! Thank you to everyone that participated, the judges (and apprentices!) that gave up their time, and the countless volunteers who helped keep things running smoothly. The Pro Trainers that stepped up and helped was HUGE- team work makes the dream work!

Junior Saturday Judges: Jim Lane and Kelly Curry, Apprentice Yolanda Buchman
Junior Sunday Judges: Richard and Jan Meche
Senior A Judges: Kelly Curry and Darrell Borchardt, Apprentice David Gay
Senior B Judges: Mark Watson and Lloyd Acker
Master Judges: Dede Patterson and Mike Akeroyd, Apprentice Sid Junek
Qual Judges: Brian Herzog and Vince Carr

We had a big turn-out in Senior and had to split it, this was challenging but we buckled down and made it work. A lot of club members came out and volunteered their time- THANK YOU!

Professional Trainers Brad Beaulieu, JC Strange, Tom Garza, Chris Krause, Dakota Best, Michael Cotton, Kerrigan Odom and Jeff Brown gave up their time and found a way to balance running their dogs and working the tests. These Texas Pros deserve a lot of gratitude for their effort- support them and thank them next chance you get!

Club members Rob Somers, Paige Brown, Vince Carr, Craig Shultz, Kevin and Yolanda Buchman, Gregg Smith, Chris Lamb, Sid Junek, Tony Gonzalez, Katie Brouillette, and Terry Ansohn came out and helped in various ways. ***Volunteering our time is how these activities can continue to be successful.*** Without the help of these members- none of this would've been possible! Also Sean Wilchek also drove all the way up from Houston on Sunday morning so he could shoot fliers for Senior.

Finally- our lunch crew! Kristin Best, Cynthia Blomquist, and Glenda Akeroyd worked to make sure everyone got a chance to take a break around noon and enjoy a fresh and hot meal. This is one of the perks of running a Lost Pines test that everyone looks forward to.

It's been a busy Spring for the Lost Pines club- we've pulled off 4 mid-week Master tests and now a 260 dog weekend test- Great Job LPRC! If you're not a member of LPRC- you're missing out!

Rob and Kaizen as Test dog, 1st series. Land Triple and a blind with an honor.

3rd series of the 4th LPRC mid-week Master test! Judges Michael Akeroyd and Kevin Buchman have designed a good old fashioned duck hunt in flooded timber for the handlers. The dogs must show control and steadiness while also marking three birds and running a channel blind. Good luck Handlers!

This is why we don’t let Gregg Smith shoot fliers in training…

White Elephant…decisions, decisions!
