The cost will be $40 per person for each days session. People can attend one or both days. Bonnie Hidalgo will be putting on the Seminars for the AKC. They will be held at The Bass Pro Shop in Council Bluffs, IA in the seminar room. Deadline for reservation with payment of fees is June 12. Contact toot444@aol.com for further information.

I attended an AKC Field Trial Seminar a few weeks ago. Hopefully Bonnie does a better job than Lyle did. :roll: We watched a video about how to deal with conflicts at trials, a gunners video, and we took an open book test. We were given a new Rules book, but there was no mention of any changes made. We also heard about all of the trials that he won.

I like Lyle, but I sat through a HT seminar given by him and was almost bored to tears.

I went to a FT with Don Paltani as the presenter, two thumbs up. I thought Don did an awesome job, even though you could tell that some attendees and thier stupid questions just couldn't get with and go the way Don was explaining. I think I even saw smoke coming from Don's ears a couple of times.

I agree. Don does an excellent job with his hunt test seminars.

Let me think now, were they Brittany people? I was there with Chris and the questions made me want to scream in agony.

I know. I thought you were gonna go postal on some of them. Thanks for the restraint.

Don't forget about this AKC judges seminar in Council Bluffs, IA (near Omaha, NE) in June 24 and 25th.

I think it would make a nice Father's Day gift to send the bird dog dad in your life to this seminar! You know he wants to go!!
