                    WEIMARANER FIELD DAY 
        SATURDAY,  OCTOBER 26,2002 A FUN DAY FOR ALL!

We had 10 handlers with dogs and 3 observers for our annual Weimaraner Field Day which was held at Silversmith Farm on October 26.  We started by going over the rules of the WCA Ratings Tests and the AKC Hunting tests.  Then we spent the rest of the morning running the dogs on quail, along with getting them used to  gunfire.  All dogs were allowed to find and chase live Bob White quail.  The day was also  devoted to practice for the Retrieving Ratings test, which would be held the next day, and getting the younger pups swimming.    We had a tattoo clinic at 4 pm and then supper at 6 pm.

OUR LAST AKC FIELD TRIAL
 March 2-3, 2002 in Monroe, NC.  

                                                           By Tammy Helt

What do cold, rain and Suicidal Quail have in common?? They are all part of Greater Charleston Weimaraner Club’s 2002 Field Trial, along with great participants, judges and helpers, who despite all these things, still had a great time. The rain held off Saturday morning just long enough to get the horses saddled and the birds planted for the first brace, but that was all the break we would get from the rain until mid morning on Sunday. The rain and wet birds were sometimes too much for the dogs and even a few quail wanted to get out of the rain so much, they flew straight into the dog’s mouths. Chairman Joe Stringer ran a great trial again this year and was backed up with many great helpers, including Ken Tapley, Carol Parron, Tim Carwile, Joe Petroski, Ross Adams and Nikolaus Scharpf to name a few. Kathi Stringer did a great job as Field Marshall and Carol and George Barry kept us fed and watered during the day. We appreciate the participants for supporting our club, including our professional dog handlers, Gene Dagenhart and Dan and Cindy Long as well as all the amateurs who braved the conditions to run their dogs. A special thanks to our judges for keeping their humor during adverse weather conditions to say the least. Congratulations to all the winners this year.
