THANK YOU CenMAS for Hosting the Sanctioned B Match!!

CenMAS AKC Sanctioned B Match (3/17/13)
What a great way to spend St. Patrick's Day, fun people, in a great place with wonderful dogs. CenMAS hosted their first event in Valparaiso, Indiana. Great turnout with 14 Miniature American Shepherds. Not bad for our first AKC Sanctioned B Match.
Congrats to the two newbies - Scott Hubbard and Kyle Anderson for showing at their first show - the pups did great!
Special thanks to Alice Kenyon for being Secretary and our judge Leslie Baumann of Canine Connect Dog Sports for judging us and guiding us in our first AKC event. Leslie has over 40 years of experience breeding and as past President of her National breed club.
Thank you Canine Country Club for letting us use your wonderful facility, and to Mary Tamer for doing the handling seminar. Also Barb organized a wonderful raffle. And better not forget to thank our photographer Bill Ogle - nice pictures, especially under such low light.
Looking forward to our upcoming CenMAS events, and hopefully gaining more members to join in the fun.
Best of Breed - Swampy Creek Wigglebutt Rhett Butler "Buddy", Bred By/Owned/Handled by Mary Tamer. Congrats you guys!
Best of Opposite - Wigglebutt Agapo Zola, Bred by Bill & Angela Ogle & Jeff & Dawn Mullins, owned and handled by Julie Lazerwitz.
Best of Breed Puppy - Wigglebutt Miss B Haven "Haven", Bred by Bill & Angela Ogle & Lisa Bataska, owned and handled by Scott Hubbard.
Best of Opposite Puppy - Wigglebutt Prince of the Woodland Realm "Gabriel", Bred by Bill & Angela Ogle & Lisa Bataska, owned and handled by Kyle Anderson.
Fun day - with super fun people and dogs.

I sure enjoy watching Agility Videos starring Tru and Donna!
Tru and Icy had such a nice run in Master jumpers, that I wanted to capture the two runs together. It won't be long before Tru catches Icy's times! Tru earned his Open STd title, and earned his first EX leg in std today. Icy earned 3 double Q's this weekend...going 6 for 6...so a great weekend for us!

Note from the Board: PAYPAL
If you are submitting registration transactions and want to speed the process up, please include a request for a PayPal invoice with your paperwork. Please do not make PayPal payments in advance - payments must be made against an invoice. Once the PayPal invoice is paid, the paperwork is immediately forwarded to the registrar. If making payment by check, the process will be delayed approximately two weeks to ensure the check clears the bank. |

http://www.mascusa.org/fees.php
http://www.mascusa.org/mascusaForms.php
The Tuesday Talk is now only available to current MASCUSA members. Keep your membership updated! |
Important Note:
According to the Records Manager for Entries, Betty Nightingale at ext 3585: "There are no Champions in the FSS or Misc class. The dogs can earn a CM.
People should not be listing CH as in Champion in front of the dog's entries for AKC shows" |
Teacup Treasures Leather n Lace Diva starting early on working cows!! Not sure the cow is intimidated though! |
I think that the Working Aussie Source is one of the best locations on the net to find herding trials and clinics!
The opening page is for ASCA Trials but be sure and click on the Other Calendars and the Regional Calendars and other Events of Interest! |
|
AKC HERDING TRIALS!
The Miniature American Shepherd is eligible to compete immediately in AKC Herding Trials! As soon as you receive your AKC/FSS number you can enter an AKC Herding Trial.
Find AKC Herding Trials here!
If you have earned an AKC Herding Title please let me know,
Now that we are eligible to compete in AKC Herding Trials, we want to acknowledge those dogs who are out there earning titles and legs towards titles. |
|
Let's have some fun and gather several photos and videos of our dogs herding!!
Send to me and I will place them in a future Tuesday Talk and maybe we can start a photo gallery of minis herding!
