President Mark Killingsworth presided over today’s meeting. Ryan Kelly then provided the opening prayer and Joe Meador led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. The meeting was held at the Holiday Inn North. Mark then introduced today’s guest speaker, Tom Smith. Tom is the President and Owner of Wildrose Kennels located in the Oxford area. Wildrose is a training facility for British Labradors. They only train Labs that are Wildrose dogs. The dogs are trained in three areas: as hunting dogs, as companion dogs, and as therapy dogs. Wildrose recently opened two new branches in Dallas, Texas, and Hillsborough, North Carolina. Tom says his goal is to have a Wildrose Kennel within a 12-hour drive of anywhere in the United States. Wildrose has trained Labs in all 50 states and several foreign countries. |
