Thanks to all for the generous donations and also to the successful bidders for helping to allow the silent auction to raise over $2000.00 for our club. Our special guest speaker from the Power Paws Assistance Dogs, Inc., was of great interest to all. We had good participation by the attendees and several questions were answered in regards to how the Therapy dogs are trained and how one can help. A demonstration by one of the Golden Retriever Assistance dogs showed how she was able to assist physically challenged companions with every day tasks. The dinner was wonderful and many awards were given out. We would like to give a special thanks to all of those that assisted with making this wonderful event a success. Also, our special thanks to Betty VanDenburgh for hosting the event at the Phoenix Country Club. Her generosity is greatly appreciated by all.

Marge RSVC 2008 Hunt Training Sessions The Rio Salado Vizsla Club (RSVC) offers hunt training for club members and their dogs throughout the year. Upcoming hunt training sessions and hunt tests are listed below. The schedule is subject to change due to bird availability and fire restrictions. Always check the RSVC web site for updated information and directions to the hunt training sites at www.rsvc.net. Birds cost $5 each, with a limit of 4 birds per dog. Bird reservations will be limited due to bird availability and training session time constraints. Exact change or checks payable to RSVC are appreciated. Also, please remember that since the club pays for the birds that have been reserved, you are still responsible for reimbursing the club for the cost of your birds if you fail to attend the hunt training session. Brace Pairings: After arriving at the hunt training site, please check in with the Hunt Training Coordinator and pay for your birds. Brace sheets for the Senior/Master field and the Junior field will be available for you to sign up your dog(s) on a first come, first served basis. Please indicate the training level of your dog on the sheet (Junior, Senior, or Master). In order to run the fields efficiently, do not sign up for back-to-back braces. Field Trial Training Permit: The Arizona Game and Fish Department require permits for hunt training. There is no fee for the permit, which is good for one calendar year. An application for these permits can be printed from the club s web site at www.rsvc.net under Hunt Training. TRAINING TIMES START AT 8:00 A.M. You Must Be A Current Club Member to Participate!

Rio Salado Vizsla Club Newsletter Page 7 Field Training Volunteer Opportunities Please contact Donna Karis at dckaris@rsvc.net or 480 596-8599 if you are able to help at any of the upcoming field training sessions. Bird Reservations Bird Transport Camp Director FT Director Gunner/Bird Planter Money Registration Signs Supplies Take bird reservations (limiting reservations to the amount of dogs that can be run in a day), and check with Ron Horne that enough birds will be available on the requested date. Get bird boxes and deliver them to Ron Horn. Pick up the birds and transport them to the training site by 8 AM. Clean out the bird boxes and deliver them to the next bird transporter before the next training session. Make sure the training site is cleaned up at the end of the training session, remove all bags of trash, and dispose of the bird carcasses and live birds as needed. Facilitate the training session by monitoring the radios at base camp, notifying people when their brace is going to be run, getting people and their dogs to the line on time, and assisting the people in the field as needed. Gun for the Senior/Master fields and plant birds; Gunners are required to view the AKC Gunner Safety DVD before participating. Collect money for the birds at the field, bill anyone who reserved birds, but failed to attend the training session, and send the money to RSVC Treasurer Rita Mather. Sign people in at the training site, and set up dog braces for the Junior and the Senior/Master fields. Set up the RSVC orange Hunt Test signs directing people to the training site, and take the signs down at the end of the training session. Take all the training supplies up to the site (bird bags, the club s orange vests, first aid kit, ammunition for the gunners, fluorescent tape for marking birds, etc.) and give them to the next Hunt Training Coordinator at the end of the training session.

Rio Salado Vizsla Club Newsletter Page 8 RSVC HUNT TEST TRAINING FOR EVERYONE S SAFETY ---- Directions and Information Children must be under adult supervision at all times. Children and spectators are allowed in the field at the discretion of the Field Coordinator. Training for just honoring is only allowed when live ammunition is not in use. Everyone in the field must wear a blaze orange upper body garment that is visible from the front and back. Orange vests are available for loan at the site. Dogs and puppies may be off lead only when training. Otherwise, they must be leashed or kenneled. MISCELLANEOUS INFO --- IF YOU ARE RUNNING MORE THAN ONE DOG OR ARE RUNNING ONE DOG MORE THAN ONCE, plan on being at the training session for several hours. We will do our best to keep things running smoothly. The Training Coordinator has discretion as to the running order and brace pairings. Obviously, the more volunteers we have to organize, gun, plant, and train the dogs, the faster we will be able to run through the braces, and get everyone home at a reasonable hour.
