First Club Day a Success

Thank you to Sylvia Howard for a very informative workshop on WCR.  We had a great time!  Having someone who is active in the sport is really great because we get current information.  You answered all our questions and gave us the opportunity to try a Level I course and a bonus exercise as well.  I think we were all pretty impressed with our dogs.  I watched every dog/handler team go through and they were all very much on the way to being able to do a Level I at the very least.
That said, we will definitely get our group prepared to do the March trial at Sit Happens!
And good luck to those of us who are entered the October 26/27 weekend.

Thanks to everyone who brought yummy goodies!

Congratulations are in order to Carol and Emily for their success in the Xtreme Gater ring last weekend.   This should be Emily's title. Emily, who is is the greatest performer, gives the crowd such enjoyment. To Joan and her dogs for their Q's in agility as well.  Dani was right on the money from the sounds of it!  To Darryl and Betty (the Princess) for not only adding two U.S. agility titles to their wall of fame, but doing it with a first place and a smile!!!   To Donnie and Zydeco for ring craft and enjoying being together.
To Drummer for gaining his Scent Hurdle Masters title, his Herding Started title and his Started Stockdog Title.

Thanks to the Lethbridge Scent Hurdle members who came out to race and help us test out our newest members, Donna and Sporty, her Belgian.  We had a great time.  It was good for our dogs to race with members of another team, too, as they had to work in spite of having new dogs running with them.
(Drummer couldn't say enough about Kort being on his team...... )

Our next Club Day is Saturday, October 19th and our agenda should look something like this:

9:30 :    scent hurdle racing

10:15 :   information on CGN tests and a practice run at some of the exercises

11:00 :   rally obedience beginning with novice

11:00:    obedience beginning with Open ..... Novice.... other
              NOTE*** the obedience exercises are not a dog by dog run-through of the open exercises.
              We will be doing the exercises as a group where possible. So for the drop on recall, we will all
               be doing the drop on recall, only one at a time.
               We will all be doing the fetch on the flat, only one at a time.  Etc.

Hope you can make it.  The food's always good.
