The South Central Missouri Kennel Club will be hosting a
Responsible Dog Ownership day and Agility Fun Match on September 21st
at the ball field at Mammoth Spring State Park in Mammoth Springs, AR. The day will start at 1:00 p.m. with Jumpers
with Weaves competition. Classes will be
novice, open, and excellent. Dogs are
required to go over a series of jumps, thru weave poles and a tunnel.
Throughout the day dogs of various breeds will be
there. You can meet their owners and
learn about the breed. This is a good
opportunity to find out more information about a breed you may be interested in
owning. At 5:00 p.m. a parade of breeds
will be held.
Dogs and handlers will be demonstrating K9 Protection,
Field/Hunt, Search & Rescue/Tracking, and Carting. At 5:15 p.m. a relay agility demonstration

dogs in head-to-head competition going thru a series of weave poles and a
tunnel. At 5:30 p.m. AKC Canine Good
Citizen testing will take place.
