Saturday October 19th we had a great day participating in a MEET THE BREEDS at the Hartford,CT
Convention Center. The day was sponsored by a group of CT Kennel Clubs.
There was a lot of interest in the Minis and we spoke to many people about our wonderful breed.
Pictured left to right are: Sue Fontaine with St. John, Pat Kovacs with Barkley, Ellen Friedman-Smith with
Pippin and Lisa Grahn with Ellen's 11 week old puppy Fin. A fun time was had by all! |

2014 Nationals Call
Attention Members:
The 2013 Nationals are behind us now and its time to get going on the 2014 Nationals.
Who, When and Where?
The Board is extending the deadline for submissions of proposals for Nationals to November 1, 2013.
The goal would be to have our Nationals along with a cluster already established and name one of the AKC MISC shows, our Nationals.
There would be a hope to have special attraction classes as well during this cluster for our dogs.
The Nationals proposals should have a herding trial, agility trial as well as obedience and rally trials so that we can show off the versatility of our great dogs.
So, if you have an affiliate or a group of dedicated individuals that would like to submit a proposal, please send it to the MASCUSA Board at
The board will consider all requests. Proposals need to be to the board no later than November 1st for consideration.
Thank you,
Karen Keller
President of MASCUSA |
