Membership renewals are still coming in. We have 37 renewals so far. Our membership number was 58 members last year. If you haven't sent yours in you can print out the form and mail to Scott Krumm. <Download it here>

I talked to HRC field rep. Mike Botts and he cannot hold a Judges and Handlers Seminar up here this year since we held one last year and that two other clubs in our area are hosting them. If you are a Judge and need to attend a Judges Seminar this year I would recommend contacting Shane Olean at Dakota HRC.

Spring Training starts April 11th at Kelly Farms see the calendar for details on all upcoming events.

LLHRC Spring Training seminar a huge success!
We had about 50 people in attendance to get some valuable training information and strategies presented by our own Greg Larson of Sundowner Retrievers. Poor weather and a forcast calling for snow kept us indoors for most of the day, but we had ample space for several demonstrations and lots of learning. The event was advertised at local sporting goods stores and on several online bulletin boards and we saw a great turnout of new folks to HRC. Many of them have since joined the club and been showing up for club training days to put to use the knowledge they learned.
