VCNC Fun Field Day April 14th, 2012
Please join us for a fun day of field work at Hastings Island on Saturday April 14th from 8 am to 4pm.
This is a great opportunity to expose your puppy or adult dog to the joys of hunting birds in the field. The FFD is particularly geared towards novice dogs of any age and their novice owners. It'll give them a chance to see what field work is all about. Advanced handlers and their experienced Vizslas are also welcome to attend in order to fine-tune their hunting skills. The training courses will be run as if they were a hunt tests or field trials. Lunch will be available on site.
Please don't hesitate to call or email me with questions. Hope to see there!.
