26th Annual
Flat-Coated Retriever National Specialty
May 10-17, 2003
The Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America 2003 Specialty show was the biggest gathering of Flat-Coated Retrievers on the east coast in four years!
We started at Rebel Ridge Farm in Elkton, Maryland for three full days of field events. Then we drove a little more than two hours to the Clarion Hotel in historic Carlisle, Pennsylvania for five days of events including an agility trial, obedience trial and specialty breed show. Along the way we had happy hours, dinners, and parties culminating in our annual awards banquet. Thanks to all who joined us for a wonderful week!
THANK YOU!
The 2003 Specialty was a big success. Thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make it all possible. Thanks to all the entrants for competing and showing good sportsmanship. We look forward to seeing everyone in 2004.

We're still selling a really neat, limited-edition print by Marcia Schlehr. It features three cute puppies in our theme of "Celebrating Versatility." Get yours before they sell out.
