This August, at our RMHA Show in Greeley, Colorado, we will have a celebration to mark the start of the program. The first winner will be selected and presented at our RMHA show in August 2022, so there is plenty of time to review the list of components and start working on accomplishing your goals with your Hound! HOUND BREED CLUBS: I/WE CHALLENGE YOU TO CONSIDER MATCHING THE PROGRAM OR PART OF IT Perhaps you would like to offer a “full match” if the winner comes from your Hound breed. Or, maybe, you want to create a similar pro- gram in your breed club to truly help Juniors with their Hounds. Please let us know if you have an interest in cooperating or if we can help you in any way. MORE ABOUT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUND CLUB: We hold three conformation shows each year, and we offer Rally and Obedience bi-annually at our summer shows along with Health Clinics. We also hold several Fast Cats (Coursing Ability Trials) and Lure Coursing events! Of course, we have monthly meetings (currently via Zoom) and we always welcome new members (Full, Associate, and Juniors). Junior membership is FREE and is a program requirement. A membership application can be found on our Facebook page: https:// www.facebook.com/groups/rockymtnhoundassoc/ and on our website: www.rmhounds.org.
