Dear Members and Friends, This year’s MSGDA Auction & Banquet will be held Saturday April 30th at the Eagle River Lions Club, located at 8344 Eagle River Road. Those of you who have attended past banquets know what a great event this is. So come out for a fun evening with friends and win some great prizes.

Our banquet gets better every year. Last year, we had the best array of raffle and auction items ever. This year, the raffle and auction items will be even better! We already have guns, Zinger Winger Products, an e-collar, and many other great prizes. Don’t miss out on the chance to win!

100% of the auction and raffle revenue supports MSGDA programs and events. The funds raised allow us to keep entry fees low and provide quality birds and equipment. The banquet is a fun opportunity for club members, guests, individuals interested in training retrievers, and the general public to win valuable items and support MSGDA.

Dinner this year will feature three entrees: Baron of beef, Teriyaki chicken, and fish with sides of salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried rice, green beans with bacon, rolls, and great deserts. Cost of the dinner will be $40 per person, or $75 per couple. So join us for a great meal and cocktails at the Lions Club.

Fall/Winter Training Classes

2023/2024 WINTER TRAINING CLASS DETAILS

MSGDA is happy to once again be teaming up with Baron Rea at Wetland Retrievers to provide retriever training this fall and into early winter. Field work will typically be held in various locations in the valley, there may be classroom classes help in Anchorage. Classes are scheduled to begin in late October and run until early January 2024. Exact dates will be announced later on. Classes are typically scheduled for Saturdays, but there will be a few Sunday classes.

We will once again have an advanced class that starts at 10am, and a Started/Early Transition class with a start time of noon. Each class is limited to 15 dogs, and we ask that you limit 1 dog per handler per class. Please sign up quick as classes will fill. We require that each participate is a current 2023 or new 2024 member. Questions can be directed to MSGDA at this email address. [email protected].

Wondering what class your dog should be in? Started dogs need early obedience, field into, early multiple marks, force fetch, and collar conditioning. Started dogs need to get through basic handling such as T and baseball before moving up.

Advanced dogs should be completely forced fetched, collar conditioned and are past T work. These dogs should be able to run patterns, and at a minimum run established blinds with a gun in the field. Advance dogs should be steady at the line, capable of doing multiple marks, and stop on a whistle and accepts cast to change direction.

Please understand your dog may get moved up or down during these classes based on its level and performance.

Current Spots available as of 9/21/2023

Started: 15

Advanced: 15

BOTH CLASSES ARE CURRENTLY OPEN, we will update once classes are full, but spots sometimes do become available. Please Email [email protected] to be put on the waiting list.
