L.T. and Phil earn MR1

Mondio Memorial Day in Hadley, Pa.! On Saturday L.T. (Yuma du Loups du Soleil) earned a MR1 title with a 181/200 (1st place, High in Trial). On Sunday we attempted a MR2 but L.T. decided he would rather not out on any of the bites on this particular day, and his handler made some mistakes, so we did not get a qualifying score.
My sincere thanks to “The Dragon Master”, Todd Dunlap for the tireless decoy work and huge donation of his time, and to my training brothers and sisters at West Penn Mondio. Thanks also to the other decoys who worked T during our stay in Pa helping us prepare, David Broderick, Zackery Kiser, Paul V Anthony, and the boys from Steel City Working Dog Club, Jason and Dale. The willingness of all these people to help us prepare is humbling.
