Happy New Year to all!
Last year was a busy year for the Northeast region. We hosted the annual meeting, our second in this area, and, according to the reports we received, all had a great time. There, also, was a very nice write-up in the Kurzhaar Blaetter, the German DK newsletter. If you missed attending this past year's annual meeting, plan on attending the 2008 AM being hosted by the Western region in Spokane, WA.
Last year we had our first VGP test! Congratuations to Dave Trahan and Blaine Carter for all of the hard work involved in training their dogs, and passing this versatile utility hunt test. Also congrats to all that entered and passed our Derby, Solms and AZP tests in 2007. This is the only way a breeder has to tell how effective his/her breeding program is doing.
If you have a DOG TO BE TESTED this year, contact either Dave or me, so we can plan accordingly.
Finally last year's raffle was a sucess, and we will be doing it again this year. We could use a little more help in selling tickets. It seems a select few are doing the bulk of the ticket sales. Let's try to, at least, volunteer to sell a few or buy a couple of tickets. Remember, all tickets sales directly benefit the region.
I would like to put together a NE regional meeting. Any feedback would be welcome. I belong to a bird dog club that has a sporting clays course, so maybe we could make it a fun day.
