Support Live Birds!
MSGDA Hunt Test Live Bird Account
To raise money to support live birds at all of our events we started a Live Bird Account in 2007.  We ask our members to bring an item to be raffled off during our Saturday Tailgate Cookouts.  Suggestions include bumpers, whistles, coasters, blankets, healing sticks, dog bowls, prints, some "doggy" item around the house that hasn't been used, anything for dogs or people that love dogs - basically anything to do with retrievers. Items from our corporate sponsors and some surplus training items from the club were also included.

During the cookout we sold tickets for the preceding raffle.  The proceeds were placed in a special account to purchase live birds at future field events. It's a lot of fun and also helps the club keep those quality live birds coming!

Dog Training Wisdom
"If you own a retriever, your first step is to join a local club. You will get a warm reception - hunt test folks are like that. Before long, you will be sitting on a pail beside your dog, blowing on a duck call, and joining the rest of us having fun with our dogs." ~ The Retriever Journal (Feb/Mar 2008)
