The HROTC Premium List for our April 26th rally trials and April 27th obedience is out and the opening date was earlier this month.

BUT, if you entered these trials, please be patient waiting for confirmation of your entry(ies). Our Trial Secretary Maria has been sick with a flu and is having trouble getting better. She had hoped to get the entry confirmations caught up by this weekend, but that might not happen.

Sorry for the inconvenience to exhibitors and we will keep you posted.

PS: Get well soon Maria!! I’d bring you some chicken soup, but I don’t want what you have! 🤒🤧🤢🤮😷
