Founded 1975 Issue 5 May 2013 Hi All Lab Lovers, President s Message Upcoming Events May 11 June 1/2 B Match & General Meeting Potluck WC/WCX Can you feel it? The weather is warming up and so is your Labrador Club! We have a lot of events happening so be sure and look through your May Newsletter! With this month of May we have one of our first organized Field training days at Cathy and Jeff Hakola s Farm May 19th at 12:00 noon. This is a good place to come and see what your puppies have in the retriever department of their genealogy. June first will be here very soon and the Annual Working Certificate test (see flier in this newsletter). We would hope if you are new to our Club or maybe have been in the Club for a while, but have never gone to a Field event, this would be a good field event for beginning your education. Please come and watch or maybe help and next year s event might prove you and your own dog able to run! July 6/7 Oct 6-17 Hunt Test, Sauvie Island LRC Natl Specialty Lacey Washington The B Match is fast approaching. Susie Morrill and Judy Chambers are on board to make this event a great success. Please look in this newsletter for information on this event which will be held at Scott and Judy Chambers Farm. I am not sure how many of our Members realize that the largest Labrador Show in the World happens in April in Maryland. I wanted to take a moment to send out brags on our very own Members, Sonya Dudder who bred this year s Best In Sweepstakes puppy and Susan and Greg Huntzinger who are fortunate to own that young bitch, Miss Spice! Congratulations to Sonya and Susan and Greg for bringing home the top honors of this year s bred puppies. We are so very proud to call you our Club Members! In general the Pacific N.W. Breeders did very well in the various other Classes in which west coast dogs were show. Congratulations to those exhibitors too! On a good note, our beloved Marilyn Parker did not want to make a big deal about her surgery, but she is back home and recouping well. We are thrilled she will be back in the saddle very soon and so happy she is doing well. We all love Marilyn and are happy that she and Richard are getting back to some normal life again! Welcome home Marilyn and see you soon ring side or out in the field! Your President Barb Gilchrist 1
