Wa Sleddog Sprts Association Showcase

[Guest Willow]

I recieved this as an email today, and was asked to pass it on!!!

On Sunday the 20th April at Sir James Mitchell

Park, South Perth, from 10am - 2pm the WA Sleddog

Sports Association is holding a display day to

showcase what we do.

There will be demonstrations of mushing/sleddog

racing/dog scootering, backpacking (where dogs carry

the packs) and weightpull. There will be plenty of

info to take home.

More info and a flyer can be found at the web site

http://www.wassa.com.au/

Here is a good site to show just how many different

breeds can be involved in dog scootering

http://www.dogscooter.com/

In the weeks following we will be holding several

beginner days where people are invited to come along

and have a go with their dog, all the equipment is

there to borrow and we will help you and your dog get

started in this sport.

Our sleddog races are held in July and August -

spectators welcome.

Our Club welcomes all breeds of dogs and these sports

are not just for typical sleddog breeds like Huskies

and Malamutes, our club also has a variety of other

breeds involved and some will be on display on the

day. Often shorter coated dogs do better than our

huskies too!

The aim of our Club is to have fun with your dog,

not everyone is there to compete and many people just

enjoy being out with their dogs being involved in a

sport that everyone can enjoy. We also encourage

families along and hold childrens classes too.

We also offer breeders free basic membership packs

for their puppy buyers, many new dog owners are

looking at what activites they can do with their dog

and this is a sport your breed of dog can enjoy.
