Despite the cold wind and cloudy skies, the day turned out to be one of Rivanna Rivers' largest turnouts for an earthdog practice! With about 35 people and between 50 and 60 dogs, the day was long but with the sun coming out in the early afternoon, it was worth the wait to spend such a lovely day with other fun loving enthusiasts!There was an extensive above ground training that lasted much of the day as well as a JE, SE and limited ME practice. Even more exciting than usual was the diversity of breeds in attendance including norfloks, lakelands, jack russells, dachshunds (of every variety), skye terriers, fox terriers, borders, and even a visiting staffordshire!

In addition to practice and training, the club held a membership meeting over lunch during which new members were voted in and plans for the upcoming trial were discussed. Members examined the dens which are scattered over the farm for any repairs and clearing that will be needed, and examined the work being done to clear and prepare two new masters walkups!
The club agreed to hold a farm cleanup and work day to work on the dens and tunnels April 9th pending approval of the farm owner.
