YOUTH DOVE SEASON OPENING DAY

If there are those in CSHRC who would come out to Robbins Butte the first weekend in Sept to help do demonstrations of retrieving for the youngsters at the time of their pancake breakfast and let the youngsters run their dogs, please let me know. We have done this many times in the past, the children love it and it our way of helping Game and Fish. The dogs must be relaxed around children and other dogs all doing things it confined area.

Please call me, Mary 480-829-7972

AZ GAME AND FISH NEWS

Diane and Mary met with AZGF and report……………

AZ Game and Fish are working with the dog clubs in Arizona to put together a plan to improve Robbins Butte Wild life Area. Hoping to make it into a state and perhaps a national attraction for dog events.

CSHRC is working with WAGD and NAVHDA ( pointing dogs) to come up with a plan that will suit our needs for running tests etc. Right now our immediate goal would be to clean up the Powers Butte area, remove the cattails from the big pond and get rid of the tumbleweed from the fields. The NAVHDA club also needs a pond and fields.

The other pointing breeds and spaniels have different needs and they are addressing their special needs to Game and Fish.

It will be a long process. There is a need for funding and man power. We will see how it all pans out and will keep CSHRC up to date on the progress.

UPCOMING EVENTS

WAGD will host their NAHRA tests in the Spring

Labrador Retriever Club AKC Hunt Test Oct 15/16

Southern California Sporting Spaniel AKC Hunt Test Nov 5/6

CSHRC NAHRA Test December 3/4

CSHRC Training Day – September 17 – location TBA
