Early Christmas Presents at the IX Shows

Santa came to the IX center in Cleveland and he was very good to Gamekeepers!  Alex, CH Gamekeepers Big Red 1 SH, earned his CH plus his first GCH points – a 4 pt GCH Major.  Chick, CH Gamekeepers Boom Chicka Wow Wow JH, finished her CH.  Bode, Gamekeepers Double Black Diamond JH WCX, earned his second Major and Cal, GCH Gamekeepers Iron Man CD RA JH WCX, turned in two brilliant Novice B performances (198 1/2 and a 198).  What great way to end the year!

Thanks and an extra Merry Christmas to our fantastic owners and their fantastic dogs Linda and Rob O’Leary (Alex), Ray and Eloise Girt (Bode) and Deanna German and Ed Zawodny (Cal) and to our extraordinary handlers Bryana Pierce and John Benoit.

Montverde, FL Blind Workshop Now Open for Entries!

MitchOverThe Blind Workshop is coming to Florida in February and is now open for entries.  This workshop is being presented to help handlers succeed in training and running better blinds.  The focus of this workshop will be solely on blinds and will only utilize marks as influence for blinds.  During each of the three (3) days, working teams will perform various drills to improve lining, casting and handling on blinds.  In addition, multiple types of blinds will be run each day.  Blinds will be run that represent different levels of difficulty and each blind will be rated so that handlers may chart their progress during the seminar.

Complete details and registration information, as well as a listing of other programs being held throughout the year,  can be found in the premium on our Schedule of Upcoming Workshops and Seminars page.  We look forward to seeing you there!
