ARC Spring Hunt Test was Enjoyed by Many
A huge thank you to all the club members, judges, and guests that helped make our
spring hunt test May 15 and 16 a success. Our test was held at the beautiful Saco
Valley Ranch near D'Hanis Texas. Thanks for all the sponsors that donated raffle
items, and our bird throwers. A tip of the hat to Mike and Terry Miller for allowing us
the use of their wonderful ranch. We had a great tail gate party to visit with old and
new friends. It was a pleasure to see so many great dogs perform over the two day
event.

ARC Members compete at River City Trial
The San Antonio convention center was the site of the River City Cluster of dog shows

the dogs compete, support their club members, and shop for some great k-9 gifts.

Open Obedience and 2 legs in Rally Advanced Excellence. These are great activities
for you and your dog durning the off season hot months to keep them sharp. All rules

- 60% of us leave the air-conditioning on for our dogs when we're away
