12:30pm to 3:00pm
Town & Country Animal Hospital
Topic: Trick Dog by Anne Standen.
A meeting that would help people see what the breed can accomplish-Trick Dog as a foundation to more performance opportunities-the members would need to study the Novice Trick Dog requirements and bring the paperwork that was filled out ahead of time and whatever props they would need so I could evaluate and they could possibly earn the Trick Dog title at the meeting. The purpose was to pull more owners into doing more fun things with their dogs and become better ambassadors for the breed. The paperwork is on the AKC website-can be printed off from there.
