More Details :

The BCSRC would like to invite you to join us at our 2010 Spring AKC Hunt test. This year under the direction of our fearless HT Chairman, Pat McHale, we threw in a new twist for those of you dog owners who expressed interest in running your dog in a Field Trial Qualifying. This stake is scheduled for the Friday prior to our regular spring hunt test.

A puppy stakes will be held Saturday around noon.

Good hot lunches will be availble for $7.00 a plate on the test grounds both Saturday and Sunday. Leave the meals to us; as usual, we promise you will NOT be disappointed!

BCSRC will host a (free) tailgate party with a well orchastrated raffle on Saturday evening. Be prepared for lots of fun and cool prizes, including a Benelli shotgun!

We will try to stop the master tests no later than 5 p.m. on Saturday so that everyone can gather at the Headquarters for our fun Tailgate party and ribbon ceremony.

Note from the Hunt Secretary:
If you leave the test grounds prior to the awards ceremonies and would like your ribbons mailed to you, we ask that you fill out an envelope with your address at HQ and leave $5 to cover postage (or bring your own self-addressed, stamped envelope).

Entry forms
Note that the only requests for a particular flight that will be honored are those which are required by AKC rules (eg. a judge which trained your dog, co-owned a dog, etc.). Specifically, requests due to personal reasons will be ignored. Requests for multiple handlers to be placed in the same flight (randomly of course) due to logistics reasons (eg. dogs on same truck) will be honored if possible. Please indicate these situations by listing the person driving the vehicle as the first handler when entering on Entry Express.

Entry fees are $75 Qualifying, $50 for Junior, $60 for Senior, & $70 for Master.
