Has Dennis stepped down or was he replaced by Mr. Gulledge? Just wo...

Re: Region 8

Yes I'm serious the guy owns the grounds, don't you think dogs pattern after being trained there daily, also he releases birds to train on cause his land does'nt hold many wild birds .

Re: Region 8

The Richardsons should sit this trial out as they have a distinct advantage hosting this trial on their ranch, but given the win at any cost some of these people have it does'nt surprise me, Brath and the Richardsons should be ashamed.

The Richardson's

I see the name Kieth Richardson popping up all the time as host of trials out west, just wondering if this is the same man that was involved in NAVHDA and had a versatile champion finnished by a pro here in Wisconsin? If so when did he start running horseback trials and has he had any success. Thanks

He'll tell you that the kennel you are researching has no background in NAVHDA and niether does the kennel owner, however many kennel owners in Wis are active in chapters as trainers,breeders and judges. If you want to get into Navhda why not talk to people involved and ask thier opinions?
