LARRY LEWARTON

Treasurer/ Membership

Although I have owned Labrador Retrievers for a number of years, I am a relative newcomer to field training.

I attended the MGDA's 2022 orientation program to introduce new people to the sport and would encourage anyone interested in getting out in the field with their retriever to attend the 2023 session.

PETER DOZOIS

Director

Peter "Dozer" Dozois is a retired RCAF Colonel who has hunted and campaigned retrievers across North America and in Europe. He has a lifelong passion for gun dogs and sporting pursuits and is a student of the field trial ‘game’. He is thankful for the journey these dogs take us on: an adventure of companionship, ripe with joy and frustration and a year-round reminder we’d rather be hunting. In these early days with the MGDA, he aspires to become a reasonably reliable Rocket launcher.
