Puppy Match 2012— Trophies and rosettes are lined up. Working on a judge. It will be at the horse park. Appears we will have same area as last year but rings in the sun.

There is a signup sheet for Donetta the pet communicator who will communicate with your dog. Suggested donations are 30.00 to be made to rescue. Agenda for the day will be retooled to work with weather concerns. Work with kennel club to get an 8:00 am ring time.
