Hi Everybody -

Monsoon season is here ! Isn't Michigan weather crazy? Just can't believe it -June is here! Hope all of you are enjoying the summer activities. Here is what's going on at the training center.....

Teacup Match held June 2 & 3
We had 12 dogs come and have fun on the teacup equipment. Each person had a "mentor" who guided them through the maze of proper protocol and learning the ropes of participating in a trial. Everyone was a big help - just pitched in to do whatever needed done. We all got to know each other better, and the dogs did great ! Shirley Burns and Agnes Shaw were the judges, and had suggestions for the participants to help them out with their dogs.

Our next event is the Teacup Judges clinic to be held June 20 & 21, followed by a 2 day teacup trial on June 22 & 23. If you need a premium, click here to download a MSWord document.

Also, a flexi -leash was found this past weekend. If you are missing one, please contact me.

June 30th - "Canine Contacts" Dog Expo
The list is growing of exhibitors that will be there....it's amazing just how much dogs are a part of our lives - a part of our family. I am impressed with people who are coming forward to share with others their knowledge. It is quite impressive.

Don't forget the Parade of Breeds - and the All-Americans. This will be at 1 PM. For $15, you can have 1 or 2 dogs (can be of 2 different breeds) in the Parade. You need to write a short description and email the info to Mary Belanger mary@classiccanine.com by June 23 . Mary is in charge of getting everybody lined up, just like in a beauty pageant. You can dress your dog up if you want - and we want as many breeds represented as possible. I am hoping to have 50 different breeds represented there. Money collected is going to the Charlevoix County Humane Society.

2007 Second Annual Poochfest
The Charlevoix County Humane Society will be having their 2nd annual Poochfest on July 15th from 12 noon til 4 PM at the Veterans Park on the water at Boyne City.This is an afternoon of fun with the whole family - two & four legged !
