Re: Labrador Retriever Club of Long Island - Fun Match Tomorrow
This is our required Fun Match to be eligible to submit the application to the AKC for sanctioning. The club was actually established in 1979. We will plan to have another Match, AKC sanctioned B, as soon as we get the thumbs up on our application. When we complete the basic requirements, we will have a specialty, but in the near future we will sponsor all the trophies at the Riverhead Kennel club Show this coming July, with two breeder judges to be announced.
We do not currently have a website, but will work on it in the near future. The club has a great foundation with some long time members, and many new members that will surely be an asset to the club.
We will keep everyone posted on our progress, and thank everyone for their support.
Re: Labrador Retriever Club of Long Island - Fun Match Tomorrow
Thanks for asking about the Fun Match. We are truly happy with the turnout. The judges were Leslie Plank for Conformation, Jaquelin DeAngelo for Juniors, and Carla Frederick for Obedience. Because this was a fun match we did not ask for registered names, but the winners were as follows:
We had 38 breed entries, 9 junior handlers, and 14 obedience entries.
Best Puppy in Match- Rachel, from 3-6mos class, owned by Mary and Michael Weist,and Fabian Negron
Best Opp Puppy in Match- Teddi, from 9-12 mos class, owned by Debbie Weinman
Best Adult in Match- Tug, from the hunting retriever class, owned by B Cataldo, M McGroarty, and E Magnani, showed by junior handler Brenna Hanratty.
Best Opp Adult in Match-Summer, from the BBE class, owned by Mary and Michael Weist, and Fabian Negron
Best Junior Handler-Dylan Stearns, showing Hatch, owned by Mickie Beerman
Best Veteran- Tug, owned by Sue Carpenter, showed by junior handler Brenna Hanratty.
The clubs application goes out to the AKC tomorrow, as soon as we are eligible to hold a Sanction B match, we will let everyone know the details.
Laura, we did not disband, we just were not active. I knew we had a website, but was not sure who had designed it.
