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
