Central MN Retriever Club 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.

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

Thanks Todd. This is an informal event if I understand correctly? I have never run my dog in any trials but would like to give it a try just don't want to upset the apple cart. She is a well trained and obedient hunting dog and I would like to give it a go if it is an appropriate venue. Your input is appreciated.

[Todd Caswell]

Certainly, I would guess that you could either run in the "Hunter" and maybe the "Qual.". We try to provide a stake for just about any dog. If you decide to come , and i hope you do, please find me, I'm not judging just running dogs this month, I'll give you a tour of the grounds and give you a run down on the rules, and help you out the best I can. Driving a F150 pewter color with topper and 3 hole dog box in back, if you can't find me give me a call 218-821-0402.

Look forward to meeting you..

Todd
