Dear Fellow Retriever Enthusiast,

Some of you know me and some may not, my name is Michelle Linnane. I have been involved with Field Trialing Retrievers for over 30 years. I have been involved with Shoreline Retriever Club (CT), past president of the Westchester Retriever Club (NY).

I am in the process of starting a new retriever club in Capital Area of Albany NY. The club’s focus will to be help and promote retrievers for hunting, Hunt Tests, and Field Trials. We are hosting out first event, a training seminar on August 2 & 3, 2008, in Esperance New York , at Stonewall Boarding. I am extremely excited about having two great trainers of the caliber, of Bill Eckett and Bobby George from Blackwater Retrievers.

Please just take a few minutes and forward this to your fellow retriever enthusiast. It does not matter if you run hunt test or field trials, but you will come away from this seminar with a better understanding of dog training. Bill Eckett is one of the finest dog men in the country, especially gifted at reading a dog. Please join us on August 2 & 3, 2008 in Esperance NY. There is more information attached with this email. Cost, place, accommodations, it will be posted on: http://www.stonewallboarding.com/bille.html

Bill has generously agreed to waive his fees to help us get the club started. This will be the club’s first event and I am asking all the retriever clubs support by passing on this information to all their members who may wish to attend this seminar. This seminar will be the seed money for the club to hold events in the future.

Bill Eckett has given seminars all over the US , Italy and Australia . Some of the Bill’s accomplishments are;

National Champions:
2004 NFC AFC Dewey's Drake of Moon Rivers
1989 NAFC FC The Little Duke of Fargo
1988 CNFC FC AFC Hiwood Piper Pacer's Pic
1987 NC AFC CFC CAFC Yankee Independence

And 65 + Field Champions

Thank you for your time
