Welcome Statement

Welcome to the 2022 Eastern Shore Retriever Club Spring Quad. Our quad everything will consist of single Started, Hunter, Intermediate and Senior tests on Thursday, May 5th through Sunday, May 8th. We will start the Sunday tests on Saturday afternoon.

We know that most of our participants are going to have a long drive to get here, and we will do everything possible to make it worth your while, including holding a total of 4 tests at each level over 4 days. We have a stellar group of 9 judges, from all over the East Region. We have secured a new farm for our tests, so even if you have run with us before, you are going to see some new grounds.

If we can do anything to make it easier for you to run our test, please contact Larry Housman at 410-900-8105 or lshousman at netzero dot com. It would also be helpful if you would email Larry your email and cell phone number so we can let you know what is going on as we get closer to the test.

Additional Field Test Information

The judges will always have several hundred snow goose silhouettes and floaters at their disposal so be prepared for a snow goose hunt scenario. Bring your whites if you have 'em! We'll have a few decoys set up near the parking area to familiarize your dog(s) with them if necessary.

Parking will be at a premium so please follow the directions of the committee member(s) directing traffic. If you get your vehicle stuck (hey, it happens to all of us at some point) please don't panic and bury your wheels - just let us know and we'll get you out. You are testing on 5 working farms with literally a dozen tractors at our disposal so don't worry about it - we'll get you out as long as you don't bury yourself,. All of the tests will take place in a relatively compact area, so once you park you may not even have to move.

On Thursday and Friday we will be testing about 10 minutes from the farm. We will have everyone meet at the farm as outlined in the map and caravan to the test sites. Please be at the farm by 7:45 AM. We will start with the ST/HTR stakes and and finish them up before we start the IN/SR test so we really do need everyone to show up on time. If you are running the IN/SR test and want directions to the test sites just let us know in advance and we'll get you that information.

Field Test Location/Map/Directions

Onancock, VA
25524 Kittens Branch Road, Onancock, VA 23417



Assuming you are driving south on Route 13, turn right in Onley on Route 179, Market Street. There is a light at the intersection, and just prior to the turn you will pass a shopping center on the right with a Food Lion and Pizza Hut.

Continue on Market Street 1.5 miles to just past the Onancock Building Supply on the right and turn left on Hill Street. Just where you turn Market Street narrows from 4 lanes to 2 and there is a gas station on the left.

Continue 1.9 miles on Hill Street, which will turn into Cashville Road. Pass two cemeteries on the right and about 3/4 mile after the second cemetery turn left on Kittens Branch Road. As you come to the turn you will pass a small white ranch house on the left, followed by about 100 yards of woods. The turn is where the woods end. The phone poles also switch from the left side of the road to the right side right where you turn. The turn is difficult to see until you get right on it, so look for the house and phone poles. Signs will be posted at that intersection to guide you.

Follow Kittens Branch Road about 1/4 mile to the test site.

Some GPS programs take you to the intersection of Cashville Road and Kittens Branch Road which leaves you a little short of the test site so just follow the signs from there. Other GPS programs have you make the turn on to Kittens Branch Road, but then announce you have arrived 100 yards down the road at my neighbors' place - please keep driving as you will know when you get to the right place just a bit farther down the road.

As an aside, out of state cars are a wonderful opportunity for the police to increase the local government coffers so make sure you keep to the 45 mph requirement when going through the small towns on rt 13.
