The newsletter for Mile
Hi Golden Retriever
Club, just jump right
in.
SummerTime By Anne Shannon
Finally, summer has made it to
Colorado and brought with it all of
the activities that Golden fanciers
love so much! As I write this, next
weekend will be our WC-WCX
chaired by Sandy Whicker and sure
to be a rousing success. Then shortly
thereafter, in July, the all-breed agility
trial will occupy our time and efforts.
Volunteers are welcome!
On July 27, our next meeting will
center on food and fun - the things
Mile Hi does totally BEST. In what is
a yearly event, Chris and Steve
Johnson host the club fun day and
picnic at their spectacular mountain
property. Last year more than 20
goldens raced and chased and had a
most wonderful time in the ponds at
Johnson’s private paradise. Be sure to
1
put this event on your calendar and
look for further details!
All of the member of the
MHGRC Board of Directors
assembled on June 9th at Angela
McLean’s home to try to bring some
sense and order to the subject of
volunteer reimbursements for various
club positions. Angela, as our
conscientious and dedicated
treasurer, wanted to have more
accounting for payments, freebies and
Mile Hi bucks given out at various
events. For years this has been a
subject that has needed to be
addressed and it was helpful to have
all Board members in attendance.
Each venue has it’s own culture and
way in which it’s events are done both by Mile Hi and other area clubs.
It was useful to bring all points of
view to the discussion and, in
addition, try to get a sense of what is
owed to a club by it’s members. In
other words, there are some things
people just do - without expecting
remuneration - because they belong
to a club. Granted, some do more
than others but that is just a fact of
life! We did manage to come up with
a proposal to cover all events. It is
currently being reviewed by the
Board and will be submitted to the
membership shortly. I want to thank
Angela for bringing this to our
attention and requesting that we
establish some fiscal responsibility. We
acknowledged at the meeting that
Mile Hi is always regarded as a
“rich” club but Angela pointed out
that if we aren’t careful, we won’t be
so rich in the future!
GOLD DIGGINGS June 17, 2013
The Senior CERF project is underway....OFA
will not charge a registration fee for eye
exams on veteran dogs.
With the designation of Pigmentary Uveitis (PU)
as a very serious hereditary disorder in Golden
Retrievers and the realization that most dogs
with this serious condition will not present with
the disease until after many are no longer being
bred, the newest recommendation is to check
dogs annually for life. Additionally, since PU is
such a serious and painful disease, we want to
encourage everyone with older dogs to get
them checked even if they have never been
used in a breeding program. Paying for the
CERF registration is our way to encourage and
support this effort. Vouchers for CERF can be
found at the Foundations’s website
President’s Message Continued
In the mail today, I received a card from the
Golden Retriever Foundation acknowledging a
donation to the Zeke Cancer Research Fund in
memory of Spencer R. Boudinot and provided by
Betty Boudinot.
For those of you who aren’t aware, Spencer was
the father of Carol Hanft who passed away several
months ago. Carol’s Mom, Betty, generously directed
memorial donations in honor of her husband to the
Golden Retriever Foundation. I wanted the club to
be aware of this generous and considerate gesture.
Thank you so much Betty, Carol and Bob for
recognizing a cause so near and dear to all of us!

Speaking of volunteering and taking one for the
team, I am in the process of assembling a
Nominating Committee for next year. At the Board
meeting, every member currently serving indicated a
willingness to continue in their present capacity except for one who is term limited. If any of you are
interested in serving as President of Mile Hi GRC,
please let a member of the current Board know of
your interest! It’s a rewarding position and I will be
happy to offer any help I can during the coming
year!
Cheers
Anne Shannon

Conformation Report By Randy Watson
What an incredible month for MHGRC members and
their dogs. It is amazing what has been achieved over
the past six weeks. Lauren’s dog “Driver” had an
incredible month, earning his Championship with seven
Winners Dogs, five Best of Winners, two Major Wins
and a Select Dog. On this alone, this month’s column
could easily be named, “In The Driver’s Seat”! Not to
be out done, Jennifer Grossnickle’s dogs also had a
great month, with a Best in Specialty Sweepstakes for
Rooster and a Best of Opposite Sex Sweepstakes for
“Charlee”. In addition to Lauren’s dog ‘Driver” winning
his Championship, Jean von Barby’s girl “Jiffy” won her
Championship, and Terri Andersons boy “Tulo” won his
Championship.

Question: Why do we
have retrievers?
Answer: A bird in the
mouth is better than
two in a bush.

Field Report By Keith Winch
Where did our spring go? We were supposed to ease into the heat getting our four-legged
partners ready for the endurance of testing in our field events. Tests are finally under way
here in the Rockies and why are we not surprised to be wearing coats on Saturday and
shorts on Sunday. Good time to remember our four-legged buddies are going through the
same confusion and it is our responsibility to keep them comfortable especially when they
are in the back of the dog mobile. Sally Sjobeck turned me on to a unique tool found at
Ventlock.com. It is an ingenious tool that can lock your hatchback or door at different
opening widths where air can travel through your vehicle yet not wide enough to create an
escape path for a loose dog or allow someone to entry without having the keys. We bought
ours from Clean Run. They come in different lengths and are worth the price to have one
for the back doors and/or hatchback.
We have had several test starting in May ( I believe Fort Collins was the first of the AKC
hunt test) but there could have been field trials and HRC test that our members attended. I
am sure there are more brags and stories so don’t be humble and send the info to me like the
following happy members:CH Becksgold Rev R Up@ Elysian, CDX MH TD RE WCX
“Jiffy” owned, handled and loved by Jeanne von Barby got AKC Master Hunter Passes at
Grand Valley RC, Fort Collins RC, and Pikes Peak RC. BTW Jiffy is featured above.
Happy Daugh's Ante Up “Chip” earned 2 Junior Hunter legs in the last couple of weeks.
The first at Platteville/Colorado Women’s RC on June 2 and the second on Saturday, June
8th at Calhan/Pikes Peak. Kathy Janda is the proud owner of Chip.
Linirgor Macallan CDX AXP AXJP CCA CGC just earned a JH in four consecutive
tests owned and handled by Sandy McFarland. How cool is that!! Congrats
I copied off the news blog that Bridger and Barb Branstand had the pleasure of running
test dog at the CWRC senior stake. Awesome performances were seen with Fannie and
Chris Johnson, Puk and Leslie Anderson, and Ozzie and Chris Johnson. Way to go!
Field Report By Keith Winch
Chase (HRCH Big Horn Chasin' Holway's Gold MH MNR WCX CGC) owned by Keith &
Kathy Winch took another shot at the HRC International Grand in near New Boston Texas
with Dane Johnson handling from Flatlander Kennels. Unfortunately, he was taken out in
the 3rd round. Not because he didn’t accomplish the test, he actually smacked it but the
judges said he held onto the last bird a bit too long. Not according to Dane and a lot of the
spectators but the HRC Grand is not your normal hunt test competition. Judges look for the
very least infraction to knock the dog out. Some handler/dog teams never got to see the
marks just because the dog’s head got a bit in front of the handler’s leg walking to the line.
Not deterred, the weekend after the Grand, Keith ran Chase in the Sunflower RC in Fall
River Kansas and got a master pass. Chase was handled by Fred Lysinger for the HRC
Hidden Pines test in Cheyenne and pass another Finished test now accumulating 400 points.
Don’t forget, MHGRC is co-sponsoring with the Flatcoat Retrievers a WC/X certification
test during the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd at Stillroven Farm. Please let Sandy Wicker
know if you are able to step up and help her for this event. Our annual hunt test is
September 7th-8th with set-up on Friday the 6th. This is a fun event for our field enthusiast
will again be held at Stillroven Farms in Mead. If you are new to hunt test, this is a great
time to learn more about the field work. Please support Kathy and Warren Frizell who
stepped up to chair our hunt test by lending a hand during this event. If you wish to enter,
the premium is up on EntryExpress.net.
