Calgary Pointing Dog Club Tests

jobird · Post by **jobird** » Tue May 02, 2006 3:41 pm

Just to let any members interested know that the Calgary Pointing Dog Club will be hosting FD and FDX tests on May 20 and 21 (one FD and one FDX test per day). They will then host 2 FDJ tests on Monday May 22. If anyone is interested they can send me a PM and I will forward them a copy of the premium. Entries opened May 1 and will be accepted until the tests are full or until entries close on May 14, whichever comes first. We tested at the grounds last year and it was a great location near the mountains and a super bird field for the test.

Me too.
And the trailer came in so we can camp. Hopefully it will be nicer weather than we had last weekend. +28 C on the Saturday and +2 C on the Sunday with rain/snow. Only in Alberta.

You shoulda seen it the tent was in the tree. Janice and karen were huddled on the otherside of the stock trailer.

I didnt even see larry come back with Pagan. It was so cold and wet it wasnt even worth staying the birds wouldnt have flown and scenting conditions were crap.

Do you know how raesa did? I was trying to get ahold of dale lastnight but no answer I will try again later. They are really nice people and that Ciaro dog is sure a looker.

Raesa pulled a reverse of her run on Saturday. She handled the first bird well and messed up on the second????? Dale and Sandra are great people, I am really glad to have gotten to know them over the last year or so. Cairo is a flashy boy. He is so different from the norm in AB. Cairo and Phoenix are littermates out of Raesa and Indy. Just in case you were curious.

Larry and Pagan went home after their run. Pagan did great on her first bird and retrieved to 10 feet on her second. I think Larry said she got a 74% fail. It would have been a great score without the 0 on retreive.

I talked to Dale last night sounds like he isnt coming to the one in may. He said he might come see Richard and CLover finish their FDJ on monday but Raesa needs more work so hes not even going to bother coming.

Is larry and colleen coming out still?

Yes, Larry and Colleen are still coming out. Leanne and Brian are going to come out and tent. I think that Bill is going to run Indy in FDX. Our other friends Tammy and Omar might come out too. Lots of fun. You might still be able to get your entry for Bailey in.

No she COULD pass but she still needs more work on fetch. It would be toutch and go.
