2012 Obedience Rule Explanation & Fun Match a success

Saturday's SAWHDA 2012 Obedience Rule changes seminar with Jeff Lunder was a huge success. 25 people were on hand at the Cowley Hall to hear how the new rules will affect obedience competitors in the new year.   A turkey luncheon was provided with extra goodies brought by club members. (It's all about the food.) 


And with volunteer judges, Amanda, Liz, and Jeff, we were able to test our new knowledge in Pre-Novice, Novice, Open, and Utility classes of obedience.  MaryEllen was our judge for all three levels of rally obedience.  Thanks to Bob, Maureen, Shar & Deb for ring stewarding. 


Thank you so much to everyone who came out for the day.  We hope you enjoyed yourselves and went away with a renewed determination to 'get it right'.  From a spectator point of view, all the dog/handler teams were wonderful and provided a variety of entertainment.  


Of course, supper at Luigi's was even more entertaining. The laughter helped take the bite out of the bitter wind outside.  


Our next club day is January 21st starting with scent hurdle practice ( all teams welcome) at 9:30 a.m. and obedience (Utility first) and rally to follow.  See you then! 


Oh, and don't forget the Shiba Inu Club's fun match on January 15th in support of the Shiba Nationals. 


I will be ordering a dozen new Obedience Rule Books for 2012.  If you want one, please let me know.
And trust me, you do want one. 


(A quick note to Nancy.....Frankie is 6 months old and almost leash broken.) Lol.


To Allison and Deb........ bald is beautiful!!! Love ya. 


Happy heeling. Best of the best in all your trials. We're cheering for you.
