Lone Star HRC Hunt Tests Always Popular
The Annual Lone Star HRC Hunt Test challenges you and your dog at various levels. Held usually the third weekend in March at Edwards Retriever Training facility in Bonham, TX, some 200 dogs enter at Started, Seasoned and Finished levels. Members, amateurs, along with their families as well as pros from several states enter their dogs for a chance to capture points and the coveted ribbon.
The club officers would like to thank all of the volunteers and our bird techs, Boy Scout Troop, who made the test a flawless event.
