Scheduling Issues?

169-609Had a note from a last year’s defending Brace champion that she was hoping for late ring time on Sunday so that she can both attend a nearby specialty the day before– and we will certainly ask the folks in the judging schedule department to schedule that breed (Flat Coats) as late in the day on Sunday as they can. If anyone else has a schedule conflict or a breed conflict they’d like to avoid, please let me know and I will forward these requests to the superintendent. While we cannot absolutely guarantee that we will get what we ask for, they do work really hard to try to accommodate our requests, and so far, no one has been disappointed. You can post a note on our Facebook page , leave a comment here, or send me an email directly to fsckc@earthlink.net.

Comedian Merrill Markoe takes a gentle dig at male handlers in the ring at Westminster Kennel Club, being shown by their Bouviers and Min Pins. Ms. Markoe has an earlier video, White Women in Knee-Length Suits, but with its unpleasantly snarky commentary, it’s less funny.

Welcome to Fort St. Clair Kennel Club’s New Website!

Before we do one more thing, we must take a minute to thank Norma Bennett Woolf for looking after our old website, fortstclairkc.org, for so long. She has been incredibly kind and generous with her time and efforts and we are very grateful.

So, now, in something that feels a little bit like working without a net, we are going to try to maintain our own web page for the club.

We hope in time to build a community at this site that works in tandem with our Facebook page and with our members spread out across Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana.  We’d love to share information about events, dog strories, useful information from the veterinary and dog training worlds along with news and  photos from our friends and members.
