Devin Riley and Zeus of Olympus won Grand Champion Novice Rally (6th grade) at the Minnesota State 4-H Dog show with a score of 98 and a smoking time of 1.24. He also won blues in showmanship and jumpers 1 

EUKANUBA DEC. 12, 13, & 14

 

Are you going to Eukanuba this year? If so we need your help with our MEET THE BREED booth.

We need help with designing, implementing, setting up, hosting (with dogs) and taking down the booth when we're finished.

If we do not have enough volunteers MASCUSA won't be hosting a booth. We have had a great booth for the last two years and it would be wonderful to continue the tradition, especially since we will be going into full recognition.

Even of you are not planning on showing but live near the Orlando area we would appreciate your participation AND, as a plus we have a lot of fun!

Please email me at: werms@sbcglobal.net  and let me know

1) if you are showing AND 2) if you can help.

 Thanks in advance to all our great members,

Ellen Friedman-Smith

MASCUSA Director

liaison to the events committee

Flagtree's Simply Spicy

earned her Rally Advanced, Pre-Novice, CGC, and CGCA titles at our last two AKC obedience trials. At AKC agility last weekend, she earned her Excellent FAST and Open Standard titles. The prior weekend we trialed in Barn Hunt on Sunday and earned a novice leg. South Louisiana had its first bit of cool weather this weekend so we practiced tracking before the obedience trial started on Saturday. Loving the versatility of this breed. Spice is owned and handled by Cheryl Warren.

 

 

Flagtree's Cleared for Takeoff

 earned his BN, CGC, and CGCA titles in September. This weekend he was 2/2 in earning legs toward his Rally Advanced title. Capt'n Kirk (14 months) is owned and handled by Cheryl Warren, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is looking forward to his AKC agility debut later this month.
