We've had some requests for a CGC test and Patty R. has offered to do the testing at Brosnaham at 10 am this coming Saturday. Please call me to register 850-478-9202 so we are sure to have enough tests and you get directions to where at Brosnaham Sports Complex. This should not take more than an hour given 3 applicants so far. Cost $10 to cover cost of the test material.
Anyone willing to take part as part of the crowd or interactions, please let me know also. If weather is expected to be bad, please check with me to see it is still on or isn't moved.

Putting on an AKC dog show means lots of volunteers because it is your local dog club that sponsors the event. It is a big undertaking most years, but this year our show has doubled in size while our members are taking on many more volunteer jobs to bring it together. Several jobs can be helped by volunteers who have no real experience but like being down on the main event floor with the dogs and meeting the people who work with them. Rally and the AKC temperament test really could use more hands helping with the courses. For instance the temperament course has several stations with different challenges for the dogs - someone to open an umbrella, shake a milk bottle of coins, carry a box, use a walker etc. The rally ring needs help setting ring cards for the judges. If you have any interest and friends or kids willing to spend a day or a weekend helping put on one of the few shows left in this area that doesn't take their event to other big towns to hold them during the week when most are in school or at work, your assistance would be most appreciated. Teenagers or teenage clubs looking for community help options are welcome. Please contact [email protected]
