2014-2015 List of Texas and surrounding area Gun Dog Events

Not all events may be listed, pending dates could be wrong, dates can change, locations could be wrong, events could be cancelled, etc. Consider all dates shown to be "weekend of" and may not be the actual starting date of each event. Always check with the parent clubs for final closing, event dates, and locations for events not on this list. The event list will be for Texas and border states only. When possible I have included a link to the event or club which can be found by clicking on the event date. This will be a constant work in progress only as my free time allows so check back often. Feel free to pm me any event omissions, additions, or corrections. Hope it all helps.

Sniper John,

I just moved to the great state of Texas from the wintery North. I'm looking to attend a few HRC events to get my youngest lab HRCH titled this winter/spring. I see a couple tests have showed up on the HRC and hunt test secretary sites, but is there a list somewhere of all dog clubs in the state that host events? In MN there was the Greater MN Hunt Test Association that put out a list of all the Hunt Tests scheduled in the state for the calendar year--anything similar here? Looking at the HRC site it seems like there are a ton of HRC Clubs in the state but many do not have websites or their sites are not updated to reflect 2015 events. Being a newcomer to the area I do not know when they normally host their tests.

I'm just trying to get a handle on the events available and scheduling.

I'm in the Austin area and would like to get "a lay of the land".

Any insight is appreciated.

How come there is not that many Flushing Dog trials or Hunt test in Texas? I have seen a couple but you look at NSTRA And there is a trail just about every weekend.

I am putting on a clinic for the Lacy Dog association at my place on May 9th, 2015. The location is 1809 Eagle Nest Acres Drive Wallis, Texas 77485 7 AM start time. Right now there are only 10 signed up. It was going to be private but we decided to open it up to outside. If you are looking to get it done this would be a good clinic to attend. Be it kind of small it is more like a private session than a clinic, but you get the saving at less than private sessions prices or even clinic prices for that matter.

Wayne (WAL1809) of Snakebreaker.com will be at my place again on Saturday Aug 1 for his famous snake avoidance clinic. He will begin his clinic shortly after sunrise and go until all the dogs are trained. The cost is $75 per dog. He will NOT have the vaccine this year. This clinic will be on the east side of Weatherford (Hudson Oaks). PM me for directions.

Here is the info on Wayne's Galveston County Clinic. Hoping we can get a copperhead in time!

Wayne will be at Tioga Retrievers on Sunday August 2nd for our annual snake avoidance clinic. The flyer is on the events page at:

www.tiogaretrievers.com

Thanks

Wayne will be in Weatherford this Saturday August 1 for his annual snake avoidance clinic. PM me for directions.
