For those of you who are setting up your schedules for 2013, please make sure that you pencil in the German Shepherd Dog Club of Canadas set of 6 agility trials to be held at Wimberway Farms in Powassan, ON on July 5, 6, & 7th 2013 (Friday Sunday). Our judges will be Wendy Beard of Carp, ON and Sherri Gourlie of Hillsdale, ON. This will be the first time that the GSDCC has offered a trial up in this area and we would like the event to be a success to ensure that we can continue to offer CKC agility trials in the area. So remember to mark your calendars, July 5, 6 & 7th 2013...two trials per day, all classes Standard and Jumpers with Weaves. We would be thrilled to help teach newcomers about agility trials. Come and volunteer your time for a couple of hours a day and you will get the best view of the event right in the ring with the judge and dog. Agility is addictive...think of riding a Grand Prix horse (say Big Ben as an example), in agility you do all the same things that a Grand Prix rider does, you walk a course and plan the best strategy to get your team around in record time with no faults. We do it, without a bridle, without a saddle and without touching our animals. Teamwork? You bet. There is limited dry camping available at the trial site, with a large natural pond for the dogs (and handlers) to cool off in if it is a warm day. The Field is fully fenced 4 feet high and lush grass. Come, join us, and see how much fun you can have with your dog. (And for those of you with spouses who enjoy the outdoors, there is great fishing about 5 miles down the road at Wasi Lodge). Should be a great time, Mary-Anne Boulet GSDCC Agility Chair ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
