In Memory of one of my best friends......Jim Lempner
 
Today I am extremely saddened to say I lost one of my best friends in life and in the sport of Schutzhund, Jim Lempner. Jim and I were on the 2005 WUSV team together and he was the only handler that "V'd" in obedience at the FCI Championship in 2006. Jim was not one to complain or speak out, he was one that kept a smile and believed people would do the right thing. Jim was a true embassador of the sport and of life. He was a man of integrity, class, character, style and honor.....on and off the field.
Jim recently told me: "Even when you are right, if someone else misconstrues your cry for fairness and justice; you can be totally misconstrued as being wrong". That was Jim....always worried about the other person.

Special thanks and appreciation goes out to Jacob Pope Sr and Jacob Pope Jr for their valuable assistance to Hustler and me while training for this event. Thanks also to Ron Marshall for his continued support and assistance in our training. Without these people, Hustler and I could not have accomplished what we did. Thank you very much!

Condolences
Training Director for the So Cal Working Dog Association, Tom Richie, passed away from heart attack on December 10th, 2009. Tom was doing what he loved to do, training dogs, when he collapsed on the training field. Medics tried to stabilize him for about an hour at the field. He was then transported to the hospital where his wife and two children met him. Tom passed away shortly thereafter.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, children and family. He was a good man and an inspiration to many on and off the field. Rest in peace friend - God speed!

My intent was to also compete with Hella. Regretfully, Hella injured a toe during training a day before the event. We did attempt the tracking phase at the competition, but it was evident during that phase that she was in pain so I pulled her from the competition. She has since been to the Vet and should recover shortly. Her score for tracking at the Regionals was 84.
