If this is an activity you’d be interested in, please email club secretary Andy Hall at. Before we commit to the day, we want to make sure there is enough interest within the club. The cost would be $15 per dog for club members, with the club picking up the rest of the tab. We have a tentative date of Saturday, March 3, at a location near Ocala, and we will be limited to 20 dogs taken on a first-come, first-served basis. The day would include going over the rules, intro to a rat and an actual hunt for each dog in attendance, all conducted by a Barn Hunt specialist. The club is looking to do a Barn Hunt Fun Day to give members an introduction to the growing dog sport of Barn Hunt. An estimated time will be sent early that week when the judging schedule is announced.

The next general meeting of the Mid-Florida Golden Retriever Club will be on Saturday, January 20, at the Brooksville show and will be held after Goldens are shown.
