FUN DAY 2025

The sport of Scent Work celebrates the joy of sniffing, and asks a dog to sniff to their heart’s content; turning your dog’s favorite activity into a rewarding game. It is a terrific sport for all kinds of dogs, and is a wonderful way to build confidence in a shy dog. In this sport, there is a reversal of roles, where the owner takes cues from their dog to locate the scent.

Agility is designed to demonstrate a dog's willingness to work with his handler in a variety of situations. Agility is an athletic event that requires conditioning, concentration, training, and teamwork. Dogs and handlers must negotiate an obstacle course while racing against the clock. Agility is also a great form of exercise for both dog and handler, and a fun way to bond. And you don't have to compete to enjoy agility! Taking an agility class offers many other benefits, but many people start 

Obedience and Rally trials showcase dogs that have been trained and conditioned to behave well at home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs.  AKC Rally® is a companion sport to AKC Obedience requiring teamwork between dog and handler along with performance skills similar to obedience. 

“Conformation” is the official name for “dog shows.” The purpose of conformation showing is to evaluate breeding stock. The dog’s conformation—his overall appearance and structure—is an indication of the dog’s ability to produce quality purebred puppies, and that is what is being judged in the ring. That’s why mixed-breeds and spayed or neutered purebreds are not eligible to compete. Many times a new exhibitor will get started in dog shows by finding a mentor, so talk to one of our members.

We'll be raising funds for the continuation of our Fun Day to include health clinics and an AKC sanctioned Fun Match in 2026...so please donate well and bid generously at our silent auction!

Juhan Mixon is happily planning to flip burgers and entertain our members and guests, so please join us for our pot luck luncheon.  Members will be providing salads, sweets and other savory nibbles for all to enjoy.
