ANNOUNCEMENT:

The AKC is pleased to make available the presentation on AKC Obedience: Now and Into the Future.

The presentation addresses the continuing decline in obedience entries and the AKC's new regulations and classes that have been enacted in an effort to combat that decline.

In addition, the program provides ideas for boosting obedience entries and making obedience more attractive to new exhibitors. At the conclusion, the program presenter can engage the audience members in a brainstorming session on new ideas for their clubs' events.
Both the PowerPoint presentation and a PDF file with suggested dialogue to accompany the program may be found on the AKC website at: www.akc.org/events/obedience/presentation.cfm.
Please be patient as the PowerPoint file is large and may take several minutes to download.

                                                                                  Minutes  August 11, 2009

 

     The meeting was called to order at 7 :00 p.m. by board member Randy McMullin . The minutes were read and approved with the correction of the name of Herman’s dog to read Gwennie as her name. 

     There was no president’s report. We need obedience judges for next year and Randy passed out AKC obedience standard papers, 

     There was no correspondence secretary report.

     We have $10798.68 in our treasury. We need to vote on buying lunch for the 4-H kids at the Nez Pierce county fair training day. As there was not a quorum present for the vote; president Charlene Shuping was contacted by phone and the motion passed to purchase lunch for the 4-H members.  John will do this.

     Amy Cumberland has taken over Dr. Roen's practice and will speak at a meeting in October about vaccinations for dogs .Amy also said she would provide boarding space for abused pets in domestic violence situations.

     Brags:  Becca's dog Maizy took breed and got first point.  Sad news...the Wheelers lost their 13-year old Dalmatian to cancer.

     The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m

2010 DOG SHOW         

 

Meeting held Sunday, August 30 in Pullman. $1 has been added to the entry price. Bred by owner and Jr’s will stay the same. We have invited the Ladies of Eagles back to run the snack bar and catering. They have accepted. An ad will be placed in the premium list letting exhibitors know. All the judges have been sent contracts for the 2010 show and judges have letters of commitment for 2011 and some for 2012. All the paperwork has been filled out and completed for AKC. Becky Clyde will be show chair for PHDF. Our premium list will include the new point schedule. We will try to get someone licensed in Idaho to do some type exams for exhibitors – patella, CERF, thyroid, etc. Wish us luck. We may try to get someone to do a microchip clinic for 1 day. Both PHDF and LCKC can use ring stewards. LCKC will have “red shirts” again, but they will need help on Sunday. Alayne Porrazzo has volunteered to be Chief Ring Steward, so contact her to volunteer. Next meeting has not been planned.
