Support Live Birds!
MSGDA Hunt Test Live Bird Account |
To raise money to support live birds at all of our events we started a Live Bird Account in 2007. We ask our members to bring an item to be raffled off during our Saturday Tailgate Cookouts. Suggestions include bumpers, whistles, coasters, blankets, healing sticks, dog bowls, prints, some "doggy" item around the house that hasn't been used, anything for dogs or people that love dogs - basically anything to do with retrievers. Items from our corporate sponsors and some surplus training items from the club were also included.
During the cookout we sold tickets for the preceding raffle. The proceeds were placed in a special account to purchase live birds at future field events. It's a lot of fun and also helps the club keep those quality live birds coming! |

Please contact any board member to become active and support MSGDA events. |

All our field activities and events are run by club member volunteers. |

| What are Picnic Fun Hunt Tests? |
Picnic Fun Hunt Tests are training days designed to simulate an actual NAHRA Hunt Test. Some Picnic Fun Hunt Test have just land marks while others have water marks. These events give new handlers opportunities to be exposed to testing scenarios using actual birds. Experienced handlers benefit by getting some additonal field work.
|
| |
| Who Can Participate in Picnic Fun Hunt Tests? |
These events are open to both MSGDA club members and non-members interested in training hunting retrivers.

Dog Training Wisdom |
"If you own a retriever, your first step is to join a local club. You will get a warm reception - hunt test folks are like that. Before long, you will be sitting on a pail beside your dog, blowing on a duck call, and joining the rest of us having fun with our dogs." ~ The Retriever Journal (Feb/Mar 2008) |
