Hello from Hoosier & Hamish

Hello from Jennifer (Hoosier) and Hamish!

Hello! Thank you for reading this, my first BLOG entry on the Hoosier Labrador Retriever Club (HLRC) site! Seems to me it would proper to introduce myself since you will be, I hope, checking back in and reading future BLOG posts by me. So who am I? For starters my name is Jennifer and I am a member of the HLRC. I have been a proud and happy owner of several wonderful Labrador dogs over the course of 30 years. THIRTY YEARS! I have shared my life and heart with all three colors, black, chocolate and yellow at various times. Presently, I have one very good black lab named Hamish who is a little over 4.5 now. Hamish is smart and kind, very intuitive, and loves to go on any hike at any time or visit the library at every opportunity. We have been together since Hamish was a puppy --who I purchased from a breeder, Dale Brummett, who is active in the HLRC —which is how I came to know the HRLC. (That is Hamish in the picture with me by the way.)

What you can expect in future BLOG posts is some Hamish stories, tips about raising and sharing your life with a Labrador, some of the science that touches our lives with our dogs (Did I not mention I am a scientist? Well, I am!), and happenings about the HLRC and other news about this fabulous dog breed. I will be answering some questions like: “What is a “Specialty” and why do we have a count down timer on our site? What are Algae blooms and are they really harmful? What do all those letters mean WC, CGC, and more!

Next entry is about "slow feed bowls” and why, in my opinion, they are a must have.

Stay tuned!
-Jennifer
