GOLD DIGGINGS
PRESIDENTS COLUMNChris Zink is Coming, Chris Zink is Coming ! Sign up now!!It seems like I should be talking about our spring-like glorious weather but, as of the end of April, spring has yet to appear! What’s that about? Keeping our fingers crossed that it is just around the corner.Our match was a great success and fun was had by all. Thanks to Karen Livingston for devoting her morning to judging our goldens. She was gentle and helpful with our youngsters and everyone appreciated it. It appeared that obedience and rally ran smoothly and everyone got sufficient help and work to make our efforts worthwhile. Kudos to everyone who pitched in to help with this day.
A big thanks to Don and Vicki Carson who spent their Sunday morning running a grooming seminar for those of us in need of help with bunny footed, over-grown goldens. The hands on explanations were great and everyone got individual help. Plus we had a lot of fun in the process. Although I did have to take a recreational break at the beginning of April, the world kept on spinning and Mile Hi kept on functioning. Keith Winch pulled together the Hunt Test Judges Seminar and Laura Gillice chaired our spring Agility trial most successfully. Thanks, guys!

PRESIDENTS COLUMN
Cricket Bourland
Annual BanquetMHGRC has some exciting events coming up. Of course, there is the
Awards Banquet the last weekend in April which is always a fun day and an
opportunity to see each other clean and dressed all fancy! Ruthie Nordahl and
Sally Sjobeck once again undertook the organization of the event and Warren
Frizell and Jean Herbert will orchestrate the awards. Great job! Check the
various columns by MHGRC representatives to see what will be happening in
the next few months.
Chris Zink SeminarJune 29 & 30, Mile HI will be hosting Chris Zink DVM, PhD, DACVSMR
who will present her much-acclaimed 2-day seminar “Coaching the Canine
Athlete.” Although Chris has done seminars in Denver in the past, she is quite
excited about the changes and up-dates she is including for the first time in
Denver. Audience Response Technology will be incorporated throughout her
presentation enhancing effective instruction and engaging participants.
Mile Hi members were notified first about the CZ seminar with special rates
and preferential sign-up for working spots. The reduced rates still apply but you
are no longer guaranteed a working spot. The registration form appears on
“MHGRC.com.” If you have questions, either contact me or Claire Caro at

By Keith WinchMHGRC sponsored an AKC Hunt Test Seminar for new judges and handlers this past weekend (4/13). We had 17 people in aGendance with Wayne Bleazard from AKC puLng on the seminar. Thanks to Kathy Frizell for helping me get the venue reserved and set up. We had people aGending from as far away as Greybull, WY; Rapid City, SD and as close as almost walking distance. We had a good interacTve session and I think everyone leV learning something new. Not much else in the field is going on with the water sTll too cold to get our teammates into. That said, hunt test are starTng in our area with the first one being Fort Collins Retriever Club May 3rd-‐5th. That doesn’t give us much Tme if you have stayed in CO for the winter and early spring.
Don’t forget, MHGRC is co-‐sponsoring with the Flatcoat Retrievers a WC/X cerTficaTon test during the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd at STllroven Farm. Please let Sandy Wicker know if you are able to step up and help her for this event.
The Frizell’s stepped up and will chair our hunt test scheduled for September 7th-‐8th. This is a fun event for our field enthusiast and is a great Tme to learn more about the field work.
This report doesn’t have any accomplishments, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have anything to celebrate as just being with four-‐legged companions is noteworthy so please send me something for our next Gold Diggings.
When emailing me your brags or items for the newsle4er please send to my [email protected] account and in the subject line state, “Gold diggings newsle4er”. I travel oBen and get vast amounts of diverse emails. I do not want to miss anyone’s brag so you can help me by honoring this request.
