Congratulations are in order!

I am too tired to thank all the folks on AlDucks and elsewhere that I need to thank for helping pull off a great test this weekend at BAHRC. I will do that tomorrow. But I wanted to be sure and post tonight a HUGE congratulations to:

Marty Lee for Gussie's Hunting Retriever Champion Title at Bay Area! I did not get pics, but Marty did the Tech pond plunge" like a trooper! I remember Gussie as a baby puppy! I feel old now.

Richard Gravely for earning Hammers 500 point ribbon at Bay Area HRC!!! I did get pictures of that title bath!




Both titled under Al Ducks own Kenneth Farris in a "big dog" finished test that many very talented dog/handler teams struggled to complete.

Most folks will never understand the time and dedication it takes to achieve those titles. Congratulations Marty and Richard!!!

Congrats Marty and Richard. I had a very nice time, even if I did judge and not run. Thanks Bay Area for putting on a very nice hunt test.

Thanks guys!

Always make sure you are either real quite about titles or run when it's warm!!!

We had a good time running here in the backyard. Mark, Sonya, and Eddie Youngblood did a great job of planning,organizing, and executing this event. I'm already looking forward to running Zeus next spring.
