Central Mn retriever club (Sauk Rapids) Informal Trials

[Todd Caswell]

Cmrc is holding a informal trial at our grounds in St Cloud Minnesota off of Hwy 10 and Golden Spike Road. Same place as our Field Trials and Hunt Test.

Trials are held the 3rd. Sunday of each month Dec. through April

Sign up begins at 8:00 am and the trial begins at 9:00 am.

Come and have fun with the dog this weekend!

Open (with multiple marks and blinds)

Qualifying (which involves up to a triple with blinds)

Derby (which is for dogs under the age of 2)

Hunters (which has singles or double marks and maybe a blind)

Puppy (which is for dogs under the age of 1).

Lunch is served in the club house. We ask handlers to step forward and help throw birds. The success of the Informals comes from everyone pitching in and helping out.

Entry fees are $15 for the Open and Qualifying, $12 for the Derby and Hunter, and $10 for the Puppy stake. Trophies and Rosettes will be awarded

Todd,

Remind us again before each trial. Sounds like a fun way to spend a day. Thanks for sharing.

[Todd Caswell]

Will do, they really are a good time, and a great way for people to get into the retriever games , without the cost and pressure of a lisc. trial or test, and there an important source of income for the club as well.

I will also add that for these informals the dogs don't have to be a purebred retriever , any dog that will pick up a bird can run... I have a training partner that runs a Lab/weimer mix and competes.

Thanks for the heads up. I really wish I could make it tomorrow but unfortunately I have to study GAAP. It looks like the weather should hold up. I do plan on attending the one in March.

Club Trial will be April 27th. Weekend after Easter, and yes the snow "should" be gone, and we should have a nice turnout..

Hey Todd....how far into the summer do you fellas work the dogs. Might drive down some weekend just for the heck of it. I can probably do something useful for a while.

Good work. And great to see the outreach to younger people.

[Todd Caswell]

Pretty much 6 days a week all summer, and as much as possible during the winter. This is the last ":club" trial then the club has 2 lisc. field trials and a lisc HT during the summer. I'll post up the dates of the summer events in a different thread, come on down some time and check it out, really nice grounds and good people..
