3 years ago Julie and I had an idea for a walking trial. We wanted to promote this as we don't have horses. We thought that if we had 4 Gundog events (limited and regular) in a single weekend that it would draw people from a larger area.
The first year was about 50 entries. Last year was about 75.
This year some of our Shorthair friends approached us about the possibility of doing a dual event with them. To make it work we would need a holiday weekend. (memorial day) Julie and I couldn't commit that far out because of possible work conflicts, but we felt it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Since this was sort of our baby, we wanted it to suceed, so we reluctantly turned it over to Chad Connor and Guy Shelander.
The entries are coming in at an astounding rate. We have people coming from New Mexico, Nevada, California, Utah, And even Texas!
The Shorthair club will run om Sun/Mon and they have 4 Gundog events as well. 2 of them are non-retrieving.
So at this one trial/weekend there are 8 Gundog events! ;D
I urge anyone interested to enter early. It looks like it will fill up early.
