Spring Hunt Test Is Coming Up!

It’s almost time for Sand & Sage Retriever Club’s annual spring hunt test in Othello, WA. It will be an action packed weekend where dog owners and handlers come together in rural Eastern Washington, along with their
retrievers, to brave the chill of spring. There will more than likely be some wind, some rain, and probably even a few ticks! (Arghh!!) But even so, I am very excited to be returning again to photograph the enthusiastic, gorgeous and intelligent retrievers. Their skill and athleticism is amazing to witness, and the hard work and training their handlers have invested into them is quite evident.

In September of 2018, I came away from the fall hunt test with thousands of beautiful photographs which are available for viewing in a separate online photo gallery

I’m a little late to the party, but I finally put some of my favorites from last autumn’s Sand & Sage AKC hunt test to video. I photographed this event near Othello, WA over a beautiful autumn weekend. I am really looking forward to the next hunt test coming up in April of 2018.
