Owner and client Bob Worms pictured below with his newly Master Hunter titled Stellar student!

Tejas Hunting Retriever Club test held April 28-29th was fast and furious. We always especially enjoy this one, as it is only 5 miles from the house and this year even had one flight here at the house. So after all the preparation and parties the weekend finished up with a lot of ribbons!

Master Passes
Blackie and Idgie passed, proving just because you are getting older doesn't mean your slowing down.

Stellar's My Time To Shine "Asta" passed, qualifying her for the Master National at 25 months old. She got her MH title at Metro on April 15th at 24 months old.

Watermark's "Torch" of Torrey Pines, owned by Mary Tatum, passed making that 3 passes for her at master level. Good job!
