2011 Invitational :
Hickory Run was once again well represented in Ohio. We had plenty of support. Most of the people that ran dogs also volunteered to help on days that they didn't run dogs. Andy Uhler and Ken Niepokoy came out soley to support. A huge thank you goes out to them! I cannot stress enough how important volunteering to help really is.
Congratulations to all of the Hickory Run members that qualified and ran in this years test.
Congratulations to Hickory Run's newest Versatile Champions!!!!
