Morning all,

Does your dog like to play ball? Then the latest sport from the AKC – Fetch – is just the thing for you and your pup. We are offering an introduction workshop to the game – what it is and how to play. Afterwards we will go out to the course and try your hand. All you need to bring are training treats and favorite throwable toy, bumper or ball. If you can’t throw, we will have a helper that can throw for you, which is allowed in competition.

Our first clinic - Introduction to AKC Fetch Tests will be November 9 from 1-4 pm. Price is $50 for the four hour clinic.

If your dog doesn’t bring it back to you, then we are starting a fetch class on Saturdays at 12pm, first class will be November 16. It is a drop in class, $20/class, where we will teach any dog to fetch. He’ll be retrieving in no time!

You can email Tina at [email protected] for details.

Hi Everyone,

Unfortunately due to some recent activities, we have made the difficult decision to no longer rent the pool and dock diving facilities for unsupervised use. The only available use will be lessons with our dock diving and swimming trainers.

Sorry we have been forced to make this decision.

Afternoon all,

The pool has been repaired and some essential maintenance done, so it is available for rental again.

Thanks

Ian

Afternoon all,

Just an update on conditions here at the ranch with the weather.

Hilary has been downgraded to a tropical storm last I checked.

We’ve spent the days prepping for the weather. All the facilities are secure and dry and all the dogs are happily eating dinner and relaxing on their beds.

So far the rain, while steady has not been overwhelming.

We will continue to monitor both the weather and the dogs as the evening progresses. Rest assured the dogs safety is always our highest priority.

Morning all,

Just an FYI, Tina and I are in Homer, Alaska currently and are about to fly into the Kenai for the next several days to go brown bear watching. We will be off grid and likely disconnected from cell service.

If you are trying to get ahold of us, or to make boarding reservations, we will get back to you on Thursday or Friday when we reconnect.

Afternoon all,

As we come up to breathe after this years 2023 Barnhunt Regionals, we wanted to take a few moments to thank some folks -

Our amazing ring crews - Humberto, Raul, and Jorge. They worked hard and dilligently over the weekend building courses and rat wrangling. We still believe we have the best rat wranglers ever!

Dallas and Robyn Duncan who were back gate and secretary respectively but also designed artwork and signs, got swag embroidered, helped plan, cook, set up, tear down and did whatever we asked. We couldn't have done it without you guys!

Our Judges who took time away from their lives and loved ones to come and judge for us!

All our volunteers who jumped in and helped fill positions when they weren't even competing, who dontated for silent auctions and raffles, who helped plan and more. You guys definitely stepped up when we asked.

And all those who participated. We hope you enjoyed the weekend, learned, laughed and played with your dogs. Thank you!

We hope you found the weekend better than last year and will help spread the word about our barn hunt trials!

Ian
