February 19-20, 2005 Hunt Test
Des Plaines Fishing & Wildlife Area, Wilmington, IL

The February hunt test was held on the 19th and 20th of February 2005. We ran 85 dogs and made a nice profit of $1250.00 for the club. Thanks in part to Jim Couris who donated his horses and his time to judge both days. We finished both days by 3:00 p.m with a word of praise from the AKC Representative. He complimented the Vizsla Club for running a very efficient hunt test.

Thanks also go to the other 3 judges Bill Padavano, Dennis Nowak and John Kirkpatrick who battled some ruff weather. Mike Dalby had great gunners Jeff Engelsman, Mark Vitkaukas, Mark Spurgeon, Dave Pace and Paul Howard. Special thanks to all the bird planters Dina Spero, Jeff Parise, Greg Hedien and Kevin Berta. Special thanks to Karen Bowden for doing a great job helping Patti with the paperwork.

Our volunteers are what make a successful hunt test. Remember to volunteer for the upcoming June test!!!!!!!!!
