Another Training Day Success~
The Training Day, originally slated to be
held at Scholz Lake, was re-located to the
site at Parks that we used last month.
The fire danger has been rated as
“extreme” and the Forest Service closed
the grounds.
The stormy weather held off until we were
finished with our field work.
We
appreciate all the help received from our
friends with the NAGSP Club.
What was so exciting was the number of
folks with Brittanys that came. We were
happy to welcome new member, Wayne
Moore, and his dog Kody.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Jim Cassara and “Topper-Lyn’s United Ranger” (Ranger to everyone) live in Cave Creek.
Ranger is a roan colored French Brittany that Jim got from Montana at the age of 12 weeks.
Jim was looking for a Brit that would hunt, hunt, and hunt some more! At the time he got
Ranger, he was unaware of any “American” Brittanys that were bred strictly for the field.
During Ranger’s first year, Jim worked on socialization and basic commands. Then more
serious field training began. He worked on Ranger’s being steady to flush, wing, shot and fall.
Ranger was “force broke” to retrieve on land and water. He also learned to honor another dog’s
point. The goal was to have a finished dog that would perform well in the field as well as in
hunt tests and field trials. From the looks of things, Jim and Ranger have met their goals!
Jim joined the Grand Canyon NAVHDA chapter, and the Arizona Pointing Dog Club in 2003.
In the off-season, Jim and Ranger work on training, conditioning and stamina. Ranger is one
of the top ranked dogs in the AZPDC. Jim reports that Ranger is a great house dog with a great
temperament. They’ve hunted Gambels, Mearns, pheasant, ruffled grouse, ducks, and even dove
from a kayak. Ranger will have a new playmate coming in late August. Another French
Brittany...why? Because Jim’s wife Jeanne loves the black noses!

Fundraiser Information
Information on both Fundraisers will be
posted on the club’s website. The flyers
will be in PDF format so that they are easily downloadable. It’s especially important
that we get the notice out to as many dog
owners as possible.
Fundraisers—Rummage Sale & Snake Avoidance Clinic
At the recent meeting, the Board decided
to move the date of the “Fundraising”
Yard/Rummage/Garage Sale from the
originally planned September to August!
The purpose of both of our fundraisers is
to raise the funds (obviously) for club
insurance,
which is
needed in
order to hold
field events.
YARD
SALE
Our first effort will be a giant sale at
Karen’s place in Paulden. It may be a
little far, but will be well worth the trip.
We’ve collected many items donated by
our GSP friends, club members, and
Karen’s neighbors. It will be held August
6-7 (Friday/Saturday) from 8AM til 3PM.
Members are encouraged to donate and
attend the event. A flyer will be sent to
the membership.
SNAKE AVOIDANCE CLINIC
The second event is very exciting.
Noted professional dog trainer in the
Chino Valley area, Gene Wullkotte,
has offered to hold a “snake avoidance clinic.” We are offering an
“early registration discount” at a
price that is very attractive. Registration at the event is slightly higher.
This will be held at Blankenburg
Kennels in Chino Valley on September 11 from 9AM to 11AM. All
information is on the flyer. Please
pass this information on to members
of other clubs we all belong to.
It’s time to re-fresh and re-teach
your dog!
They’re all not this harmless!
