I forgot to mention, one of the best things you can do is to join a Hunting Retriever Club. We have one right in Spokane. We have training days, picnic tests as well as Field Tests.

Although our "dog season" is just about over for this year, we are having one more Field Test this season (before hunting seasons start). We will be holding a Field Test on August 28 - 29.

Go to www.sbda.itgo.com for details, and a map/directions on how to get there. You should try to spectate so you can see what our dogs are really capable of doing, and what you can strive for in your training. Spectators are admitted for FREE !
