Yes Jake is running for president of NAVHDA but that's not why he is here. When I found out his hunt testing track record, I had to get him on to give us the backstory. And it's a good story. The EB or Epagneul Breton is a lot of dog in a little package. Jake has shown the testing world that a good dog can do!!

Terry Wilson was NAVHDA's Vice President. His recent passing left a hole that will be hard to fill. Personally I only knew him from a few conversations and judging with him once. His passion for the dogs and friends he made along the way, was evident in his actions, support and philanthropy.

I took a road trip to North Dakota with the dogs to see some friends and work the dogs. Then I dropped to South Dakota to lock up my plans for the fall. For the first time I feel like I am packed and ready to go, even though its 5 plus months away. This season will be another bumper year. Not because of the birds, but because of the friends I have made, and the ones I hope to meet
