Join us on Friday night, April 26th for our AKC Sanctioned B Match!

Registration starts at 5 p.m. and judging at 6 p.m.

Everyone welcome! We’ll have beverages and snacks and time to socialize too. This is a great opportunity to get a little practice with your dog before the weekend’s shows– in the rings that you’ll be showing in over the weekend. And if you’re not entered in the show, you can still enter the match.

Update for Coursing Ability Tests

Posted on by

Screen shot 2014-03-14 at 6.36.56 PM

We have now been approved for TWO coursing ability tests to be held Sunday, May 1. There is a 40 dog limit on each test. (This is two separate events.) We have posted a revised entry form which has both event numbers on it. Just check one or both (depending on whether or not you want to run one test or two). The tests will run consecutively.

The entry fee is $20 per test by pre-entry and $25 per test, day of trial entry.

If you have already sent in the first entry blank, that’s fine. If you have printed out the original entry form, and you want to enter both tests, just write the second event number (2016496104) on the entry blank as well.

We appreciate your patience as we tried to get all of this worked out, and we look forward to seeing you all at the Coursing Ability Tests!
