Calling all members who would like to see well written articles, brochures, and pamphlets with beautiful pictures for/about our dogs published

.  

 

I need volunteers to assist with the Public Relations Committee. One of the first projects is to put together a feature article for the SHOWSIGHT Magazine. These are exciting times in the history of our club and your help and input is much needed. Please let me know through a private email if you would be willing to help with the all-important advertising for our club moving forward in full recognition in AKC. There are other very important items that need our attention as well. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to participate and help get the job done. Together we can have great information, beautiful pictures about our wonderful breed, information about their personalities and trait, along with their accomplishments all published for the public to see. It is my hope that we can form an outstanding PR Committee so we can share with the public how far we have come with our breed. Please consider this committee as your way to help get the information into print for our breed.

Tank & I attended the ASCA herding trial in Lakebay, WA last weekend.

Tank is turning into a very nice working dog!

He earned his ASCA Started Trial Dog (STDs) title on sheep and I could not be prouder of him!
