Congratulations on obtaining 500 Points - Joe Olson with Sunny, Mark Powell with Spike, and Mike Brockman with Ozzie!

I suppose that hanging around long enough to get 500 points is a testament to the fun and, more importantly, the friends who have made it worthwhile to stay involved.  Thank you to all who have helped Sunny and me.  We could not have gotten this far without the help and support of PVHRC and the good folks who make the club what it is.

"Ozzie"

Earning the 500 point jacket has been a goal of mine since seven years ago when I was researching potential litters for my new puppy. I have heard so many times "You get more out of your training efforts than what you put into it". I have followed that mantra and have invested a lot of resources into this effort and it is really paying off. Those efforts have resulted in Ozzie becoming a pretty good Hunt Test dog, a great hunting dog and equally important to me is a loving, character filled pet to my family and myself. There have been many ups and downs along the way and I could not have completed this goal without the support of my wife and the thousands of bumpers my sons have thrown over the years.  Along with that, I have received so much help, encouragement, and an occasional butt kicking from the members of Platte Valley HRC and especially my "mentors" (Rich Carpenter, Joe Olson and Willie Ratliff). I couldn't have done it without so much help from PVHRC and I hope to return the favor to the other members who could use the help.  Thanks!

Mike

HRCH Wasatch's Golden Spike

 "Spike"

 

"Training and handling Spike to his 500 point level has been a fun but wild ride! For a dog with such a keen nose and has been hunting pheasants all but his first 18 months of age while he trained with Kenny Trott-he's been a challenge to control. A good trainer once told me you don't want a dog that won't "break" now and then so I guess I want Spike god bless him. I suppose I've shot close to a 1000 pheasants/grouse/quail over him and have loved every minute. Now that's all he needs to do and stay healthy. " Thanks HRC for all the good times!
