Our goal is to support the parent club in the education, breed awareness and rescue in our area by sharing this wealth of knowledge and success with our members.

CGC BRAG! 

Blitz - Salish Chandrea Cool Runnings CM completed his Beg. Obedience class and graduated top of his class! He wasn't real sure about it after having "stand" drilled in his head from 4 months of age, but caught on quickly. He followed it up a couple days later by passing his CGC Test. So proud of my boy, next up... RALLY (woohoo)

Capt'n Kirk (Flagtree's Cleared for Takeoff [red tri]) made his Rally Novice and Beginner Novice obedience debuts over the weekend. Four runs and 3 Qualifying scores (he dq'd on his 2nd BN leg because he was too friendly with the judge and had to leave his sit/stay to go greet him). Such a happy 10 month old pup.


Spice (Flagtree's Simply Spice [red merle]) was 2/2 in Advanced Rally.

Capt'n Kirk and Spice are owned and handled by Cheryl Warren, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
