Handler of the Year

Handler of the year goes to Gene Byrd for all the time and effort he puts into helping anyone who asks for advice, and for those who don’t. Even with trying to train three dogs of his own, he is always willing to give his time to help you train your dog, and he does it with a smile. Gene does a lot of things for the retriever world that most people don’t know about, for example, he was on the Board to try to find ways to make the Master National run smoother. He has been an AKC Judge for a number of years, and takes time away from testing his own dogs, so that we can test ours. Most people like Gene don’t get recognized until they are gone, but we didn’t want that to happen to Gene. For all his good acts and unselfishness toward our sport, Keystone recognized Gene with a lifetime membership award. Please congratulate Gene the next time you see him.
