Brian West is traveling
through Canada and down to Minnesota from British Columbia. He will
be providing many of the photos during his trip to the field trial
for us. Here are a few photos as we traveled across the prairie

We mourn the passing of Jim Nicholes in 2011
“Mr. Chesapeake”
That was the name Ben Robertson gave Jim years ago. As
far as his friends and acquaintances are concerned that
is true. He loved his family, his friends, and his dogs.
Jim was a long-time member of the American Chesapeake
Club, dedicated trainer of many fine dogs, and
participant in numerous ACC Field Trial Specialties.
On behalf of Janis Nicholes and Jim’s
many friends
in the Northern California Retriever Club |
