This weekend at York Bob Stark is supposed to be judging . He is a really good trainer and I hope we can get down to run his test .It will depend on the weather.

If the weather is like today we will be there. How's the snow down that way?

More snow than normal for this time of year but lot less than up Midland way -- just got down to King City (not far from Cold Creek) this morning and I'm staying through to Sunday (several appointments down here over next few days) -- so I'm planning on being at Cold Creek on Sunday -- Starky is a great judge -- and besides Maxx needs the work -- but then so do I -- and I like to support this club -- read post from Gar and sounds like Long Point has little or no snow for their training trial (at Baypoint Kennels I read) so might be alternative for anybody near there -- but too far for me to travel for a training trial when York is so close and has a great judge too (no I'm not trying to influence or suck up to the judge but Bob is a good dog man and sets great tests- besides I'm just going for the training) -- good weather is forecast for Sunday

Snow is crusty in spots but has been melting too -- should be OK for Sunday

Sorry we missed York today. Will prbably here from Starky next week. He drops in for coffee every so often. We love to talk dog with him. He does know his stuff and is a very fair minded judge.

I missed it as well. I hope it went well for everyone that attended. I was really looking forward to going Suzy and I haven't had much of chance to do anything but walk this last 2 weeks do to my work schedule :(

Despite the snow it was a good day -- I had to stay down in King from Thursday to Monday due to family committments so took Maxx over to give him some marks -- Starky is a great judge and truly a dog man -- very helpful -- sorry to miss Greg, Anna, Eden and several others but weather wasn't most cooperative -- besides Anna had apparently gone 15 rounds with Chant (quite a black eye) while helping out with Doggie Daze over at Wye Marsh -- I know I Know I owe big time -- by the way Anna sent you PM
