GLNC 2017 Draft Test Weekend: May 6-7

We had an exceptionally nice weekend at this year's draft test, held at the Portage Lake Unit in the Waterloo Recreation Area. It was cool for the dogs, sunny for the humans and not a single complaint about the weather was heard. Judges Lynda Dunn and Mark Iken had the perfect mix of humor and seriousness and were perfect for the group of excellent exhibitors we had.
