May 29 - Spring Walk - The Graham Farm
Annual Spring Walk and Pot Luck
Yes it’s that time of year again and spring is in the air… time to get the dogs out and shake off the winter blues.
Again this year, Carol and Chris will host this event at the farm.
As always this is an event not to be missed. It’s a wonderful opportunity to reacquaint with old friends and enjoy the dogs in all of their glory.
As in past years, we will be providing Canine Good
Neighbour testing and certification for your dog. We encourage you to
participate. It’s good for you and very good for your dog.
WHERE: Carol Graham’s home #5039 4th Line, R. R. #2, Acton, Ontario (519) 853-3005
WHEN: Sunday, May 29, 2011
WHY:
Just because!! It is spring and the perfect time to get outdoors, meet
old friends, renew acquaintances and make new friends. Of course owners
get to do this as well.
WHO: ALL GREAT PYRENEES are welcome.
Their owners can come if they want. Great Pyrenees are also very
hospitable and welcome any other dogs who wish to attend. So don't be
shy. Come join the fun and meet folks from the GPCSO.
TIME: 12:00 P.M. (Noon)
Bring
your favourite food for sharing, don your hiking boots and come out for
some socialization. As it has not been a hard winter (unlike times in
the past) we are hopeful that we will have gorgeous weather – not too
hot or too cold, the ground will be mud free and there will be no flies
or mosquitoes.
May 29 - Canine Good Neighbour Testing - The Graham Farm
Canine Good Neighbour Testing... while you attend our Annual Spring Pot Luck Lunch and Dog Walk.
Is your dog a Good Neighbour? Do you know? Well, this is your chance to find out.
The
C.K.C. allows for testing of all dogs (both pure bred and non-purebred)
as a good neighbour. This test is devised to assess your relationship
with your dog and your ability to control him or her. IT IS NOT A
COMPETITION!! Your dog is evaluated on its ability to perform basic
exercises and to demonstrate good manners while out in public.
We
will be holding a Canine Good Neighbour Testing for all interested
parties at our Annual Walk. The test takes approximately 10 - 15 minutes
per dog.
The Testing will take place starting at 10:00 a.m.,
prior to the luncheon. The cost is $20.00 per dog. (Cash or cheques
only- payable at the time of testing) Dogs passing the test receive a
Certificate from the C.K.C.
In addition, you may want to purchase
a Badge of Merit ($5.00) or a Canine Good Neighbour Tag for your dog’s
collar ($12.50). Both will be available for purchase after completion of
testing.
