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!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH "JENNIFER"! Jennifer is the young lady who was kind enough to video tape Hustler and my performances at the Nationals.
My heartfelt condolences go out to Jennifer in regards to the recent loss of her loyal German Shepherd companion and friend. Although I know you will never be able to replace your GSD , I do hope one day, in your own time, you will find another dog to love and in so doing fill the void in your life and heart that was left. Thanks again, Jennifer!

USA Southeastern Regional Championship
 Myself and Hustler Dreadlocks Hater Proof SchH3 FH2 AD competed at the S.E. Regional Championship held in Eastover, SC on Feb 06-08, 2009. Hustler just turned 3 years old. We were awarded the High Auslander Trophy, scoring 95-88-88 = 271.
See pictures of us at the event here. Videos will be posted shortly.
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.
