After polling everyone and checking out the race meets, lure trials and show schedules, I came up with the following schedule for June and [...]

I am proudly bragging about the running half of my family, although I certainly cannot take credit for the wonderful conditioning and training involved.  Reggie (Lost Creek Mussante) was Best of Breed at the Versatility Weekend Lure Trial.  He did this from open and defeated a number of excellent running dogs to accomplish this.  He [...]

Brandi (Lost Creek Bzantium Metaxa) had a nice weekend at Lynden (Mt. Baker K.C.).  On Saturday, she was a close RWB, to Mary’s nice young bitch Lovey.  On Sunday, Brandi was WB, BOW and BOB!  Just one point but exciting and fun.  Anne Herrott handles Brandi and did a wonderful job.  This was the first [...]

Practice has been changed from Saturday to Sunday.  It will be at the same time, 11:00.  David and I will be taking a look at the fields Friday and will let everybody know by that afternoon, which field we will be using.  If we end up using the front field, I will include directions at [...]
