Bear Branch Invitational

[Keith Farmer]

The 2009 Invitational will be held February 6, 7, & 8, 2009.

Check the web site for details:

We are including this year a junior and senior competition for younger dogs to be held on Saturday. We will pick one winner from each division and award a nice prize for each winner (hopefully a Tri-Tronics training collar).

The tests will be more difficult than normal hunt test type setups but will remain achievable for the field of dogs entered. Entry can be made day-of for these stakes. Anyone in the local area with a young pup come on out for the fun and festivities! Entry fee is 50.00 for either stake and birds will be used on land and water.

whats the deadline for entries?

[Keith Farmer]

We do not have a specified cutoff date. We would prefer to have entries in-hand prior to the start of the event so proper numbers of birds and food can be secured. However, we will accept day-of entires if we are short of the 40 dog max.
