October Training Day at High On Kennels
We had a good turnout for our October Training day. Tracy Presson at High On Kennels hosted our event and it turned out to be a fantastic day and we got allot of work done. We used her groomed field and pond for some water work. Everyone pitched in and kept things going so thanks to all of you to help make it work. I want especially thank Bob Brown for taking the
time to learn to plant birds and Trevor Niarchos and Mike Linville for staying to the end and helping me with Wyatt.
