My Favorite 2010 FCRSA Specialty Moment...

Mitch and Binti waiting in the holding blind for their turn to runoff for the Steady Singles Finals.

At almost 11 years old, Binti ran her heart out and won the SS-C Division for a chance at the title.  She did not win the crown,

but she won our hearts.  There was not a dry eye in the house as we all remembered Ann Mortenson and wondered which

cloud she was sitting on to watch her girl perform.  Thanks Xan Latta for the great photo!

Congratulations - 2010 New Title Qualifiers...

Congratulations to the following clients and students that earned a title this year using the Gamekeepers training program.

Congratulations also to those that earned a title on their dog that was bred by Gamekeepers Retrievers.

All dogs were handled to their titles by Mitch White unless otherwise noted.
