Thanks to all the folks who turned out for the weekend field trial on Saturday May 27 and Sunday May 28. The CMBC very much appreciates those who make a long trip from point south to join us.
Mosquitoes were out in force but the partially cloudy weather kept the temperatures in check so dogs and handlers were not as warm as last year.
We were very fortunate to have many volunteers including a new bird planter that made the work go a lot easier. Our Saturday dinner social was professionally catered by Frank Bonisch this year which got rave reviews.
There were lots of puppies in attendance this year so the puppy stakes were back. Other stakes were Derby, Gun Dog and Walking Hunting Dog. The course is...

The AKC Pointing Breed Hunt Test Seminar was well attended yesterday at Cabela's in Scarborough, Maine. AKC Field Representative Gary Sadler flew in from Tennessee to spend a full day teaching the group all the rules and finer details about what abilities judges are looking for to qualify dogs in hunt tests. The Central Maine Brittany Club sponsored the seminar including a delicious lunch that was catered by Cabela's. We enjoyed seeing some of our friends from the Central New England Brittany Club and the Northern New England Brittany Club. Several participants are on their way to apprenticing as new judges this spring and some veteran judges earned requalification.

Thanks to Pam Jackson for organizing this fun event. A perfect way to prepare for hunting season and show off the club's new clay target thrower. CMBC members enjoyed a nice warm fall day at the Maine Bird Dog Field Trial Grounds in Fryeburg, Maine. This is the Central Maine Brittany Club's first skeet shoot. It was open to everyone regardless of experience. The club hopes to bring this event back every year. It's a great way to keep in touch with other members of the club. Your dog's need training and so do you!

It was a very hot show at the Cumberland Fair Grounds for this year's Maine Chickadee Classic Cluster. That did not stop our Brittany's however as the number of entries was robust. Congratulations to Owner Wendy Archinal and Handler Douglas Tighe for winning Best of Breed. GCH Millette's Sweet Memories OA, OAJ, NF, NAP, NJP is a beautiful dog with an impressive record.
