I worked pretty hard on this post so it's nice to see it hit a common chord with some of you. <br /><br />Definitely seems like there is interest in a Seniors/Masters-only national event. Hopefully someone at the trial organizations will give it some thought!ViewFr4Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590083513718152157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714817513327453769.post-21951357609625540922013-09-06T12:25:08.980-05:002013-09-06T12:25:08.980-05:00I thought it might be neat to have a Senior Handle...I thought it might be neat to have a Senior Handlers tournament.

Not everyone would have to take it--some of the truly awesome dogs in this area are run by those who would be eligible under any reasonable terms--but there's only so long one can fight time and injuries and expect the same results as when one...wasn't.Dorannahttp://doranna.net/wordplaynoreply@blogger.com
