Remembering Dona Martin, an icon of our Field Trial community

It's heartbreaking to hear about the passing of Dona Martin. Her contributions to the Field Trial community have left a lasting impact. From her role as the NRCC Communications Officer to her dedication to maintaining and developing the NRCC website, she has truly made a difference.

When Dona became the Secretary/Treasurer for the NRCC, a position she held for several years, Presidents and Directors alike, relied on her unfailing ability to remember details and decisions that took place.  She was the "go-to" source for information.

Dona was active in the Ottawa Retriever Club, Eastern Ontario Retriever Club, and was currently an NRCC Director for Ontario.

Dona's love for Retriever Field Trials will be remembered by many in Canada and the United States.

Our sincere condolences to Donald, her partner, and her life.

Gone far too soon......

BAYPOINTS LET IT RIDE Aka “Dealer”

BAYPOINTS LET IT RIDE
Aka “Dealer”
Sometimes it’s the race that’s important…. not how you finish.
Dealer is my first field trial dog. I started with a working certificate dog, then had a hunt test dog, then came Dealer, and boy was he a handful (as many of my training peeps got to witness 1st hand). I often have said that maybe if he had a different owner then maybe he would have gotten that last missing blue ribbon or that ever so coveted AFTCH but I think if you asked him he would just say “less yappin more throwin!”
As for me I learned so much from him. He always came to the mat wagging his tail and wanting more no matter what. (it wasn’t always that nice pretty heel to line J )
In 2020 I was diagnosed with PTSD after 20 years of being a 911 police dispatcher. It had taken its toll mentally. I was told (by my psychologist) that I had to do something to bring some enjoyment back into my life. I looked at Dealer who thankfully was in great shape and he said, “you throw it il get it” and I brought him out of retirement at 9yrs old. I got him qualified and ran we ran one more national when he was 10years old!
This is a great sport and a great community…sometimes it’s not about the title or the ribbons… but the people and dogs you meet along the way. Life is short. Be good to one another. To all the competitors…best of luck and enjoy the ride no matter how far you go.
Karen Carson & Dealer

Are you ready to cross the border on August 1?

The CDC has been responsive to the input from many organizations and government and has relaxed and streamlined the process for crossing the border as of August 1.   Dogs from low-risk rabies countries such as Canada, are now required to have proof of vaccination, be microchipped, and owners (consignors) are required to complete an online Dog Import form.   The 6 month age limit is still in place, however organizations and government are still working to have that age limit reduced.

CDC Importation Rules – Impact on Canadian Breeders

The National Retriever Club of Canada strongly encourages the Field Trial community to
support our valued sponsors. Our extra effort is especially important when
circumstances change, and businesses encounter unexpected challenges.

Case in point, at the present time, is the recently announced regulation changes by the
U.S. CDC to their dog importation rules. While these rules may have some affect on
some of you as competitors, the major impact will be on the Canadian Breeders such as
our sponsor Club Mead Labradors, and their ability to export puppies to their U.S. customers. While
the CDC decision may not be swayed by a few Field Trial enthusiasts we can have an
impact at the local level. Make people aware of the situation being encountered and
wherever possible encourage them to Buy Local, Buy Canadian.

We recognize that there has been some movement and change to the regulations as
originally announced. On June 5 th some points were relaxed, which gives us hope that
further changes will be agreed to, albeit it may take some time. We support the efforts of
both CKC and CFIA to bring about further modifications.

On behalf of the NRCC Executive,

Doug Shepherd,

President
