GLHRC ACTIVITIES!
Great Lakes offers a variety of events to its members throughout the year.
These vary from training days, to hunting trips, to picnics, etc. Keep an
eye on this page to see what we have going in the coming weeks!
Upcoming Events:
Trailer Clean-Out & Equipment Work Day - Feb. 14, 2012
What: Prepare the equipment trailer for upcoming hunt tests
When: Saturday, Feb. 14, 2012 - 9:00AM
Where: Chad Miller's House (Click for Map)
RSVP: We'd love to know who's coming (email or 269.370.3498), but you are welcome, either way!
We will be cleaning out the equipment trailer, sorting and organizing equipment, doing repairs on the trailer, itself, and most of all, replacing all of the electrical harnesses on the wingers and some of the rubber tubing. This will be a day to get things organized prior to the start of our hunt test season. Since Barry has done such a great job with trailer inventory, the clean-up part shouldn't be a big deal and many hands will make the electrical part easy work, too.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Upcoming Training Opportunities:
Fun Hunt at Rod Sage's House
What: Regular Fun Hunt
When: Saturday, April 7, 2012 - 9:00AM
Where: Rod Sage's House (Click for map)
Cost: $5 per dog, $10 max
RSVP: Fred Lehnertz by email or phone (616-532-7018)
Fred and Rod plan to have both land and water set ups where you can test your dog on hunt test concepts. Rod has great grounds and will be able to offer a realistic set up. Additionally, this is a training day, so plan to adapt the set up to best fit your training level and goals. This is a good chance to see what your dog can do or get in a correction in a test like environment.
KVHRC Fun Hunt

Where: Rolling Meadows Farms, Jones, MI (Click for map)
Cost: $25 for first dog, $15 for each additional.

This fun hunt will be a simulated Regular Hunt Test. KVHRC will be using real birds for all stakes, will have Started, Seasoned, and Finished Tests set up, and will even have club members "judging" the dogs as they run in each stake. You will get both opportunities for training and feedback on your dog's performance. This is a great opportunity to tune up prior to the start of hunt test season!
Check out the premium for more details such as lunch, entries, etc. as this is different from a typical "training day." This event will closely simulate a hunt test for you and your dog! The club informs us that training equipment such as ecollars, heeling sticks, etc. may be used as this is a training day as well as a mock hunt test!
