[Luker]

Ill be there and am running in flight C as well. I believe Im running somewhere very near the top of the order.

So if you see a guy in the holding blind that looks pale faced and like he may be about to puke due to nerves, thats probably me...


Good luck to you.

 

[Andy Carlson]

Team "C" is a wonderful flight....I know a bunch of the folks running there. Dave Brannon, Janet Kimbrough, Steve Vires, Travis Bruce, Dennis Crain, just to name a few off the top of my head. One of our pups is also running in that flight #177 Samson with David James. So you will be in good company.

Remember not to rush anything...it ia all in your own time. You deserve to be there and the tests are all do-able! No matter the hype, it is just about dogs picking up birds. Take a deep breath before you leave the holding blind, exhale, and continue to breath normally.

Most of all have a great time making new friends, that is what you will remember later.

oh yes, one last thing...if you make it to the fifth series remember it's "blow the whistle then shoot the gun."

Margo,

Our best to you and Meg and Troy! This is so EXCITING! Remember to breathe....Oh, and have a good time! You two CAN do this!

Your Golden friends in Wells, Maine will be cheering you on, just as you have always cheered us on.

Keeping our fingers crossed for you with all the rest of New England!

Diane and Steve

Thanks for all the well wishes, our own Paul Stuart and Diamond will be traveling with Troy and myself. Diamond was the first dogs in our region to carry all three upper level hunt test titles HRCH, MH, and she is GMHR, plus she is nice dog too

Both of us have been training hard, not really sure what to expect, but it is the journey after all and not destination. Looking forward to meeting some great new friends and visiting with some of our best buds from Canada and and else where.

Our journey starts on the 17th, we will try and post pictures and the call back list will be on the HRC web site. The test doesn't start until the 21st.

I did not realize you were going, too, until after I posted to Margo. Of course we wish you the same....remember to breathe ( but guys do that better than us girls)...have a good time ( and I know you will if you're with Margo) and know that your Golden friends in Wells, ME are cheering you on, too!

Our best wishes to you! Stay safe on the trip!

Well we are here. After a short stop and some training in NC at Beaverdam Kennels with Charlie Journey for the past two days were arrived this evening in Georgia. Heading out tomorrow to do scope out the training areas and let the dogs stretch their legs some before Saturday morning. All the pups traveled well and were happy to have warmer water to train in I am sure.
I will try to post pictures up if it is okay with Chris to hog a little band width?
