Mid-South HRC (Memphis AKC Club) will be holding their Spring test at Bruin Plantation near Horseshoe Lake, AR on the first weekend in May. There will be a Junior and Senior test both days, but no Master as of now.

I am interested if y'all have room...Either day works for me...

Mid-South HRC, the AKC group in Memphis is working on having a Spring test. I will be training with the club president tomorrow morning. Will try to post an update tomorrow...

Ultimately I would like to run Upland test, but my first priority is getting her ready for a week in North Dakota next Fall...We have the duck part of the trip nailed down, but the Pheasant part is new to both of us...

CC is right, she doesn't get out of gun range , she sits on a shot or whistle ...

Julie Knutson's - Training the Pointing Labrador...

I believe that it depends on the dog...

I started hunting Belle on opening day of the 2006 season, at the ripe old age of 6 months. She accompanied me on 18 hunts last season, including a guided snow goose hunt in Stuttgart, AR, all before the age of 9 months.

These will be a bit higher that $500...Most good ones are.

This isn't G-town or Cordova, But Walnut Grove Aminal Clinic at Walnut Grove and Tillman is the best I've found. MSU vets on staff if that matters to you.
