James River HRC Preliminary Hunt Test on March 24 & 25, 2007
Ray Casella, President

James River HRC just completed their first hunt test March 24-25, 2007 at Mr. Jack Boswells farm in Burkeville,VA. The weather
was great, the judges put on some of the most challenging tests we have seen so far this year; including a walk in with a double honor
on a finished test judged by Charlie Whitehurst and Harry Gooch on Sunday. We saw some awesome dog and handler team work;
everyone enjoyed themselves. Many thanks to Beaverdam Kennels & everyone  for the use of all equipment lent to help us get going.
A special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Boswell for the use of their beautiful property.
