RINGSIDE EDUCATION
This year we are pleased that our most popular program will be returning. This educational program is a prime opportunity you will not want to miss. At no fee on a first-come, first-serve basis, sit at ringside and be mentored by experienced breeders and breeder judges. No seating is available during Futurity, Puppy, Winners Dog, Winners Bitch, and Best of Breed classes. We are most grateful to these mentors in this program for giving their experienced counsel to all who pre-register. To select your preferred class and reserve your seat in this event, sign up on the Sign-Up Sheets.
SYMPOSIUM
The cost of the Symposium is $35 per person. This year’s Symposium is titled Canine Structure and Movement presented by esteemed AKC judge Stephanie Seabrook Hedgepath. The seminar begins with a brief discussion on how to read a standard and a bit about the history and purpose of the breed as well as the terrain and climate in which the dog wouldwork. We then go into a discussion of the skeletal structure and how the bones meet to
form articulations. After that we discuss how to examine a dog visually as well as how to
do a physical examination of the dog - where to put your hands, and why.
In the second part of the seminar,the emphasis is on movement. Videos demonstrating
how the average dog should move coming, going, and from the side. Proper movement
is then then compared to videos showing faulty movements from all angles.
Use the Master Reservation Form to reserve your seat for this exceptional opportunity.
