GWPC OF UTAH

HOLDS FIRST HUNTING TEST The German Wirehaired Pointer Club of Utah (with the sponsorship of the GWPCA) held it's first hunting tests on Novemeber 29th and 30th at the Hidden Valley Hunting Preserve in Littlefield, Arizona.

There was a point in time that i was unsure if the hunting test was actually going to happen. First the 'original grounds we had planned to us became unavailable. Then aweek prior to the test, we were informed that a Great Horned owl had killed overone hundered of ourbirds. Hiden Valley Hunting Preserve cam to our rescue by allowing us to use their grounds and cominingup with one hundred reasonalbly priced chukars.

Btth test were held in conjunction with the Wasatch Front Brittany club's hunting test and walking field trial. Many dogs were entered in all four events. Needless to say, Saturday was total chaos and confusion.

Possibley the hight point of the week-end, was abuffet dinner Saturday night at the Oasis Hotel and Resort. It gave all those in attendaance a chance to unwind and prepare toSunday's events. One of the judges even won $500.00 on the quarter slots, it must have een an men for Suanday's test ran smoother. At least the weather was great. Cool in the mornings and comforatable the rest of the day. There were fourteen masters, three seniours and fiiteen junior entered.

My sincere thatnks to allwho participated for their patience and understanding and rest assured that our next test will be much better organized.

Congratulations to all of the dogs and handlers receiving a qualifiying score.
