Upcoming Shows and Match Shows

With so many of you now looking for Rally and Obedience Trials, I will attempt to
list upcoming local trials here on the blog, along with local show and go's or match shows.

This Saturday May 29th, Papillonia Dog Training Academy is hosting another Show and Go. The event starts at 9 am with Open and Utility. Novice will be in the first available ring. Runs are $7 each, food is available on site, corrections/training/toys/food all allowed.

If you haven't been to Papillonia before, the building is large enough for two full sized rings, with moderate crating area available. (be prepared to keep your dog in car i too crowded, I don't know how crowded their show and gos are) Excellant flooring, well lit, and typical sound (not a noisy venue, but not quiet either). A great opportunity to get you and your dog more ring experience! Address is 1127 Felton Rd, Red Lion, PA www.papillonia.com

For those of you looking for second and third legs in Rally (and don't mind showing outdoors) The Bryn Mawr Kennel Club is offering Rally the Sunday of their upcoming show weekend (June 20th for Rally). This is a horse show grounds, so be prepared for your dog to handle wonderful smells and the possibility of long grass! Ms. Tracy Yeanlsh is the judge for all three Rally classes.
