Will you have Orange Pop available for purchase?

Also, do you know how many entries there will be in each class?

Orange pop will be there in large quantities and class sizes will be at least one number per dog if I can be of further assistance just let me now

Mr. Swafford....thank you for your quick reply, sorry for all the questions...I am just very nervous.

I see where we will be "drawing at 8am"....since I can't draw very well ...Is it ok if I color instead?

Sorry, one more question, I feel like such a newbie...How far do your rabbits usually run and are they "white and brown" or "brown and white" this time of the year?

Thanks for your time...you seem very knowledgeable!!!

Ohiohntr the term drawing refers to when the dog numbers are called and placed in there packs for the judges to evaulate there ability of pursuing a rabbit but we are very much a family oriented event so feel free to bring your coloring book if you wish. The rabbits are brown and white with brown being the dominant color of this specie. These rabbits can travel a large circular distance when pursued by a talented hound, for example Chubby Checker, but don't worry Chubby has been retired so others may experience the thrill of winning a akc midwest event. Speaking of our 15" male class we have two men from your state evaluating their ability, Tony Eyer and Bryan Bush. Tony is hall of famer and Bush has been compared to a gazelle. At this event we are allowing some to participate in the run with Bryan and Tony day. But it does require a signing of a release form just to protect the club and akc because we can't be responsible for any injuries when attempting to view these two icons. You might want to participate in the run with Denny Dugan day because he is a bit older and slower and requires no release form. I truly hope I've helped you better understand what you will be getting into BASICALLY KICKASK RUNNING AND MAYBE SPREADING A LITTLE

Thank you very much...sounds like a great time. I don't know these two fellas from my state but from the sounds of it I sure don't want any part of signing release forms or anything like that.

I did hear a big name kennel was coming to your trial and a guy said the kennel is from lower MI...I guess the kennel name is "Couch Potato 3 Kennels". I don't think my dogs are ready for that kind of power as that guy has this Chubby dog you speak of. Also, word on the street is that the guy only shows up at one trial and talks a big game but where Bush is a gazelle...this guy would be considered a hermit.

Game Over!!!

I've never heard of this couch potato kennels in michigan anyway but I do now one is in ohio but I'll do some checking around. Now I do know chubby's owner and he as fine upstanding individual with great i mean a great sense of direction, hardly ever gets lost returning from trials. U should meet him he is a truly one of a kind

chubbys owner runs is mouth a lot and has a hard time finding his way around ,IN...lol
this should be a great trail with lots of rabbits to run!!!
hope to see you all there

Can you give me the full addres to the club it's much easier to plug it in to the GPS...thanks

You said a mouthful there!

Mr. Swafford,
I was wondering if you could arrange some transportation for me so I could attend your trial. I would need them to pick me up at my house and they would need to have a truck with a extra large bed or some type of trailer so I would have room to bring along plenty of pairs of hip waders. There is no need for them to bring a dog box because I dont have the dog power to compete with the likes of Chapko, Bush, Bonnette, Dugan and yourself. I would only be coming to partake in all the BS that will be spewed at this trial. My plan is to perfect by BS skills and then eventually I will buy a dog that can compete with the folks that I have mentioned above. Im hoping that on the way home we will be able to attend a steak dinner if someone is lucky enough to finish a dog although I was told just tonight that Bush only finishes a dog about every 7 years so. I also heard that Bonnette is currently looking for his next world beater so it sounds like we will have to root for Chapko, Dugan and yourself.
Thanks for any help you can give me in the matter!

Aaron, i can stop and pick you up on the way. I'm sure they will be more than happy to take our donation to the club in the form of entry fees.

Hoss is back on four legs now. So I feel I have to go, just so I dont have to listen to Bonnette talk about people entering 3 legged dogs anymore.

Well looks like the transportation has been handled by Mr. Campbell although a several hour car ride with u doesn't seem like the funniest thing to do lol. Since that is handled if we could get another volunteer to feed Mr. Bartlett and of course give some place to sleep he might actually make it. Now if u talk nice to Chad on the way he might let u handle and that should cover the dog power issue. Boy is it just me or am I really smart? Hope this helps Mr. Bartlett in your endeavor to make to the trial. Thanks Roy
