Match Results!

If the judges, ring stewards, and entry takers are tired tonight there is good reason. We had a very successful show. What we counted today, we took in enough money between entry fees and the raffle to cover the cost of the civic center. There were also checks that Diane took Friday night plus donations that haven't been included. The best I can count is there were 42 dogs. Entry count is as follows: Conformation - 30 Showmanship - 9 Rally Novice - 16 Rally Advanced & Excellect - 7 Obedience Beginner Novice - 16 All other obedience - 9 CGC - 12 Seminar - 24 A huge thanks to everybody who helped.

Easter Sunday Training at Galloway Park

We are on for training this Sunday (Easter) at 2:00 at Galloway Park in West Plains.  We will practice for the match.  There is a chance for showers. If you want to check before you leave give me a call 417-252-0349.  I usually leave by 1:30 to head for the park.  If you let me know you are coming, I can call you if we have to cancel due to weather.  Be sure to give me your phone number.
