Can Dogs Detect Cancer?
"In 2005, Dr. Deb was diagnosed with breast cancer. Almost 12% of women in the U.S. will receive such a diagnosis. But there was something special about Dr. Deb's case - how her cancer was detected.The Bonds of TrustWhen Twist - Dr. Deb's blue standard Poodle - started making moaning sounds each time she snuggled against her human's chest, the trained veterinarian knew something was wrong. Very wrong. Twist's strange behavior continued. She began to withdraw from her owner and have accidents in the house.It turned out that Twist wasn't sick. Dr. Deb was.

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 |

Herding Brag!
Proud of you Mattie and Marla
Mattie, owned by Marla VanWilligan, competed in a Ranch Course in an USBCHA trial. Finished 4th out of 9. Covered her sheep and finished the course. Trying to compete in different venues and fields. Proud of her that we found the sheep!
In case folks don't know, USBCHA trials are mainly made up of border collies and the initial outrun can consist of gathering sheep from such a distance that the dog can't even see them when they leave the handlers post!
|
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!
