The Derek Fisher Clinic was held Easter Weekend at the Lucky Ewe Ranch.  Despite the unfortunate scheduling to coincide with a major religious and family holiday - that will teach us to only consider dog trial schedules when setting future events - we had a nice crowd. Attendees came from as near as Phelan and as far as the Olympia Peninsula n Washington State. 

Derek was great and spent a large amount of time with each working dog,  Universal reaction from attendees was highly positive and several expressed interest in trying to take continuing lessons from Derek (more below).

Special thanks go to Sally Douglas for the generous use of the Lucky Ewe, Kathy Roberts for her (as per usual) wonderful cooking, Ted Ondrak for his help with set out and use of his public address system, and Michael Burks for general work around the ranch painting and fixing pens and drive panels, and of course, Derek Fisher for his patience with everyone and wonderful clinic.

Because of the interest expressed in continuing lessons, we spoke to Derek about coming out to the Lucky Ewe on a regular basis for lessons.  Derek has agreed to do this and we are working out the final details but lessons could start as soon as the weekend of March 29 - 30. At the moment we are talking to Derek about a possible series of group lessons at a special rate as well as private lessons.  Watch this website for more info soon or e-mail Pat at photos@magrammedia.com
