I still don’t have the words for how proud I am of these two dogs but I am proud to introduce newly titled…

HRCH GMPR AYW Falco’s Nobody’s Replacement QAA (5 master passes) owned by Debbie Beattie

HRCH AYW Have Fun Storming the Castle MH QAA owned by Matt Beattie

Falco and B ran a Qualifying in Fenwick, Mi at Flat River. Both dogs ran a great trial, Falco taking 1st and B taking 2nd.

This meant a lot to me to put new letters behind both my parent’s dogs at the same event. I can’t thank them enough for getting me into running dogs, my dad pushing me to run trials, and them trusting me to run their dogs.

Getting excited for the 2026 Retriever Challenge season which is a couple months away. Last year we decided to put together a video to show what the blind challenge is all about for new comers who don’t know what to expect when signing up for a weekend of water blinds. Please enjoy!

We have a couple weekends open, July 4th and 5th, and July 18-19th. If your club is interested please reach out, we would love to have you in the northern woods of Michigan for a weekend of blinds and fun!

Looking to spend a weekend away in the quiet woods of northern Michigan training your dog with your local hunt club, look no further! The Retriever Challenge...
