Sheila and Rio winning the Select Dog award at
the Greater Clark County Kennel Club show

Sheila and Rio with their new Started Hunting Test title at the Olympic Rainshadow Hunting Retriever Club Test. 
When a title is completed, the HRC has a tradition of sitting the handler in a chair and dumping a bucket of water on him or her...  
Idea being that to get to the title you have asked your dog to go thru all kinds of water ...why not you! 
Rio and Sheila were 4 for 4 in the tests!
