Competition
Misty Melo has been very fortunate to train and title many Hunt Test and Field Trial dogs throughout the years.
She has titled Hunt Test dogs in all three levels of hunt tests being Junior, Senior, and Master. In regards to Field Trials, she has put multiple dogs on the National Derby list and qualified several for the National Retriever Derby Championship, with two becoming National Finalists.
In 2016, Misty had the opportunity to run a female test dog at the National Retriever Championship, which is the pinnacle event in the sport. She has also trained and titled several Field Champions and has trained several other dogs that have become Amateur Field Champions with their owners competing with them. Misty has qualified multiple dogs for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 National Retriever Championship and was a National finalist in 2019.
Several clients who have trained with Misty have qualified and run their dogs in the National Amateur Championship with two becoming finalists. Misty finds these moments her proudest as she truly enjoys training the dogs, but being involved with the clients and helping them succeed in training and competition is very important.
