Welcome to RTF and to CT. Check out the Yankee Waterfowlers Hunting Retriever Club. We are chartered in RI but run most of our training sessions and hunt tests in northeast CT. Lots of members from...

Jim,

I used Dr. Trout at Angel for Nyala and Siri.

Dawn I have some silos that I don't use. Let me check them out tomorrow and see what they are. Maybe we can work out a deal.

First, this video is not a HRC set up. It is a video of a training session. When I watched the video at first something did not look right. Play the video full screen and stop at .34 sec. The guy you...

I had the pleasure to run Nyala at Yankee Waterfowlers HRC where she earned her 500th pt. Despite some nasty weather a good crowd stayed for the ribbon ceremony and to see that Nyala, Linda and I...

I am not suggesting that the economy is rebounding everywhere but things are getting a little better here. Our test entries this year are up about 10% over last year after a drop of over 30% from our...

The truth is that the reason HRC clubs don't usually have flyers is because the parent organization doesn't want them. If you set up a test with one here in Region 2 be ready for the "what does it...

My apologies. I am done with him.

I've got a couple of seconds. Why don't you impress me with your resume Mr V.P.

Once again I am not opposed to any changes but come up with something that works and have a plan to execute it and I'll support it. Your "I know everything and everything I say is good for everybody...

I find it ironic that you say that an attitude like mine helps continue the poor entries in HRC and I am chairing a test this weekend with an increase of over 10% from last year and you are on here...

How much thought have you given this? There are 2 grands per year. Do you propose we qualify for each? How many passes to qualify? Some regions have only a few tests/clubs. In Region 2 we have only 5...

We have just closed early entries for our test, YWHRC in Region 2. Our entries have been down the last 2 years but have rebounded slightly this year. Our biggest loss is in started. I believe that a...

I would love to see another club start up. Yankee's test is next weekend in Woodstock, CT. Come on down run the test, meet some of the HRC family, talk to the area rep. Don White (he will be there on...

As stated you must begin judging in Started.

You must also have a Hunter Safety Certificate and pass a written exam that is available on line at the HRC website. To judge you must have owned, trained, handled, and passed a dog at Started to...

By your own account I to would have failed the dog for control. The rule of thumb for seasoned dogs is 50% compliance. You will not find this in the rule book and judges don't just count and...

I had the privilege to me Andy and Boo several time in New England at HRC HTs. So sorry for your loss Andy. Boo was a great dog and will be missed by all.

Don't even worry about switching on the diversion. In seasoned a switch by it's self is not a failing fault, only a mark down. I can't figure out why they even have a diversion in seasoned.

We have been told that we can have a hard close date if we desire but do not choose to. The mistake was made by the club that allowed sign up after the advertised close date. All they had to do was...

I don't see how we can judge more that 30 dogs/flight in a day unless they have callbacks. I've spent to much time waiting on handlers and dog to agree with raising the limit on number of...

I have done everything you have at hunt tests. I am not a VP. I am a past Presdent. I am sure you do a lot at your test but I am not sure how much you can help at other tests if your clients and...

Simple more people run AKC. More entries with less expenses. One set of judges can judge up to 60 dogs in Master. In HRC that would require two sets of judges, workers, equipment, additional grounds,...

Raising the limit and instituing a qualification system would do only two things. It would put more money in the pocket of the pros and increase the burden it places on the area's judging pool....
