👑 A SEASON TO REMEMBER. A TEAM TO CELEBRATE. 👑

We’re wrapping up our nine-dog Crown countdown with POPE HUDDLESTON and celebrating Pope and Rody Best as the 2026 SRS Open Team of the Year!

This recognition means so much after the year Pope has had. Following a strong start to his season, an ACL injury led to surgery in April. Then came four months of recovery and the patient work of rebuilding his strength and conditioning before returning to competition.

For a dog who loves his job, slowing down wasn’t easy. Seeing him back at the line with Rody made this season special long before the final points were counted. ❤️

And Pope’s message before stepping to the line? Carol’s questionnaire captured his confidence perfectly: “Just walk me up there and I’ll show you how it’s done!”

Behind that confidence is a softhearted lover boy. Off the field, Pope is all about affection, and when it’s time for a reward, food is always a welcome choice!

🎶 His Crown walk-up song? “Centerfield.” A fitting pick for a boy who’s ready to get back in the game!

Carol, thank you for trusting us with your boy through every part of this journey. We’re so proud of Pope and Rody, and we can’t wait to cheer them on at the Crown!

BR family, help us celebrate your 2026 SRS Open Team of the Year! 👑🐾

The Junior Hunt test is over. Judges Teresa Tebbens & Diane Ammerman made many participants very happy - passing 17 of 18 starters! Club Directors Scott Wilson & Bruce Yerkes gunned. Chris Beste & Rob Conroy were the setup crew while Karen Beste & Jill Conroy marshaled. Chris also doubled as a bird thrower for the second series.

The Master started the day with a challenging triple and blind. The 2nd series is now underway. It is a double mark, double blind test where the dogs must run the blinds before picking up the marks.

Don’t forget to set your clocks tonight! Time change. The Master will continue at the farm while the Senior will be at the canal grounds. Another beautiful fall day is in the forecast! Enjoy!

Ray Voigt and I are getting back together this December.

December 17 to 20 in Boston, Georgia. Four days in the field with dogs at every stage, from early transition to advanced all-age work.

We came up under the same mentor, and we've each spent decades building our own read on a dog. Watching us work the same dog side by side is the whole point.

Handler spots are full. Observer seats are open now at $375, which includes all four days, Dr. Sarah Love's lunch & learn, Friday's fireside, and a notebook with training notes.
