February 27th Training Day
Fellow member Matt Jones has been generous enough to offer us the use of some land in American Fork. There are a few fields and water is close as well. We will mainly be laying drags as this is not a place populated with rabbits. But it will help get the handlers and the pups an idea of what is to come and how to start a track. We will also be able to work on some pointing and searching too.
I am in the process of trapping pigeons now, but keep in mind i am in the city. Game is hard to come by, so if you can supply a bunny or birds, even if you can bring extra to sell for a small fee. It will all be appreciated.
Meet at 9am, Holiday Gas Station, 300 West Main Street, American Fork, Utah. The property is just South of here. We will caravan from here. If you get lost or late call me @801-915-5780.
Please RSVP by Feb 24th as lunch will be provided! RSVP by phone or email 801-915-5780- fishin4food711@hotmail.com

March 13th VJP Training Day
There will be a second training day on March 13th in Malta, ID. This is the actual test site for the VJP in April. We will hopefully be able to actually get on live rabbit tracks and run through a mock test scenario. I am trying to get a couple judges committed to coming, so that possibly those of us who are interested in getting our dogs certified loud on fur for the VsWP entry, can do so. If you are a judge and interested please let me know.
We will be meeting at the Cattle Country Steakhouse, 420 N Main Street Malta, ID at 8 am.
It is also the corner of sublett road and Hwy 81. Access from Exit 245(Sublett/Malta) on I-84 (Map Attached below)
Please RSVP so we have an idea how many people to expect.
