Belding, Michigan HZP Test Results (Sept 4 &5, 2021)

by Lyndon Roeller

The Great Lakes Chapter hosted an HZP (fall puppy test) on Labor Day weekend September 4th and 5th, 2021. A total of seven dogs entered the test, six dogs ran and five passed.

Both days were overcast with mild temperatures. Fortunately the rain held off and, although warm, it never got too hot.

Special thanks to Scott Broiser at Pine Hill Kennel and Sportsmen's Club for letting us host another test at his facility. We'd also like to thank friend of the Chapter, Kim Beach for allowing us to use her property for the water work portion of the test each day. 

Saturday evening also included a short planning meeting for the 2022 VDD-GNA National Annual Meeting. 

Judges reading off scores after the first half of the test on Saturday which included field and drag work.
